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.

Brown's Run

What a surprise! The feel, upkeep, beauty and layout of the course combined the helpful and friendliness of all the staff were outstanding. Greens, fairways and tee-boxes are all excellent; bar, food and servers equally delightful. This track is worth the drive!

Great Old Course

Course has the older feel. Very mature trees and tighter fairways. Challenging but fair. Course condition was very good and the greens were in great shape with some speed. Look forward to playing again.

Expected better!

Knowing that this was a previous private course I expected it to resemble that a little. The layout is fantastic. But with foot tall dandelions on tee boxes was a bit disappointing. And bare spots everywhere. $55 is a bit much for this place. Also if you enjoy a few cold brews don't play on Sunday. Overall it was okay. Just not what I expected

Best kept secret

Browns Run is a great value for some of the best greens in SW Ohio. The fairways were in great shape, I was happy to see the tee boxes were temporary- letting the regular tee boxes rest/heal (they were a bit rough last year).
