Brown's Run Country Club in Middletown offers a championship layout that stretches to just over 6,830 yards. The team of William and Brian Gordon, brothers who have designed more than 85 golf courses all over the U.S., designed Brown's Run in 1958. It has a classic layout that is gentle enough for beginners, but it is an enjoyable round no matter what skill level. There are a few strategically placed sand traps throughout the golf course, which make up for the absence of water. The design is pretty straightforward although there are a few slight doglegs to watch out for. In addition to the challenging but playable design, the course boasts some of the finest fairways and greens in the area. Brown's Run also offers other amenities including an Olympic-size pool and four lighted tennis courts.

Swamp Land

Boy was it a muddy swamp. Not the courses fault, tho. Enjoyable round there as always. Former member of 3 years and I like to go back once or twice a season. Go play it if you haven't before. You'll go back again.

Nice Course BUT Overpriced

The course has definitely gotten better since the new ownership took over. Pace of play is always fantastic here, and it’s very peaceful. The rates are pretty steep for what you get, and the memberships are WAY out of line with other options in the area. The club would boost their membership level if they rolled out a more realistic price point, which would in turn generate more revenue.

Great course if you don’t like water hazards

Really enjoyed this course for the second time. Greens, fairways., and tee boxes all in great shape.

Looking forward to playing it better next time.

Sunday Play

This is my second time playing here and it has made its way into my rotation of places to play. The staff (owner I believe) is as nice and accommodating as can be considering we had 2 of 7 golfers back out last minute. This course is $55 on this past Sunday, $7 more than a course closer to me. I would gladly pass over the $48 course for the conditions at Brown's Run.

Nice course

The course was in good shape, and was well maintained. The groups on front of my twosome were courteous and allowed us to play through, which lead to a great pace-of-play. I would play again.

Brown's Run Getting Better

We have played Brown's Run a lot in the past but this was only time in 2022. Course was green and lush with few damp or dried out spots. The green, especially par 3s, were marked up quite a bit and the speed was moderately slow. The traps were very thin and hard packed mostly ... stay out of the traps. We caught a great day and the pace of play was 3.5 hrs for our threesome. We had to go around two couples on #10 and then we sped up. I would recommend Brown's Run on a dry day .... not sure how some of the fairways will drain on a rainy day.
