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.

A Great Suprise

I had a chance to play here despite iffy weather. Glad I did. What a beautiful hidden gem. I played in the afternoon and never had to wait on a single shot. There were a couple of groups on the front tee so the pro shop had me start on the back. Excellent group management.

Course conditions were outstanding. Some of the nicest fairways I have played on this year. There was a light rain for about 15 minutes but cleared after that. We've had enough rain that the fairways were soft with little to no roll and the greens held well. Putts were true and fairly fast before the rain.

There were a few bare spots but to be expected this time of year.

It was a 45 minute drive for me, but I will definitely return.

I did see someone report that you had to drop off your clubs as there were no carts allowed in the parking lot. That was true, but it is only a very minor inconvenience.

First timer

First round playing here and was amazed bybthe conditions! The fairways were in excellent shape and the greens were easy to putt on! Greens were a bit slower than I expected but playable....Course itself was beautiful and layed out nicely. The hole could really could use better markings and directions to the next hole. It got confusing in a couple spots. Would definitely play here again though. Two thumbs up

Classic Return to Glory

I love that this one Private Gem was able to bounce back from what was seemingly neglect to the course of old. I love the layout, course was in pristine condition, and was not crowded at all.

Nice to have this place close by-still miss my beloved Weather Wax GC down the road.

Nice shape

The course is in great shape in the fairways, traps and greens. If you don’t hit those 3 areas your score will inflate. Many spots in the rough are dead and the ball settles into them. You’re hitting off hardened mud. Other than that, there’s not much selection of food and beverage in the pro shop.

Overall it’s a nice course in good shape and you will score well if you are a 5 or under handicap.

Great value course

Course was in very good shape. The staff was beyond nice and attentive. Played on a Sunday afternoon and never had to wait for a hole to clear. Just enough difficulty to make the round interesting but not frustrating.

Not much to eat at the turn, no beverage cart. Other than that, it’s a nice course in good shape.

Great experience

Couldn’t be happier with the round. Several thunderstorms passed through the area overnight. I was expecting CPO to be enforced with my 8:00 tee time. To my surprise carts were allowed off the path. Course was in great shape in spite of the all the rain. Pace of play was excellent. We completed our round in about three hours and forty five minutes. Staff is always super friendly.
