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.

Not the Good Old Browns Run

Was a member there 20 years, left 5 years ago. It is a shame to see the course in such terrible shape. Greens burnt up, fairways have brown spots and weeds and clover has taken over the rough. Needs some serious TLC. $55 for a round here is a ripoff. This is a $35 course at best -- maybe new greens keeper will get this back to decent shape.

Not what it used to be

This used to be one of the best conditioned courses in the area, Played there many times and the greens and fairways were flawless. NOT anymore, Played there yesterday and everything is more brown than green, There were a few greens that were so dry that the ground was cracking (crusty) The fairways and greens look like they are begging for some water, and what used to be lush grass for the rough is now nothing but weeds and clover. Was very disappointed to see what was once a beautiful golf course turning into a wasteland.

Worth it

This is a former country club recently turned public course and it is really still a great course. It is well-maintained, albeit a huge gash on one of the greens on the back nine. They took out a lot of trees and I wish they had been able to keep some of them but they had to go due to ash borer. The course plays very nice and the only reason we had a delay was the group in front of us was not very good. The course challenges the average golfer with many doglegs and undulations in the greens. No water on the course but a beautiful course nonetheless with little traffic noise and great scenic value.

Excellent variety of holes on this course!

Ok, look it was early March so the course was pretty much brown, but it was still in great shape. The greens were winter "slow" but were in great shape. A really good challenge from the blue tees. A target golf course with somewhat elevated greens - some really small and guarded by bunkers to the right and left. Really enjoyed it.

Nice course, Not worth 50 bucks

Played this course for the first time and it was a fun and nice course to play but I don't think it's a 50 dollar a round type of course. There are other courses in the area that I can play that are just as nice for less money. If it were priced at the 38-40 dollar per round then I believe it would attract a lot more golfers including the group I play with weekly. Hopefully management will consider a price change and I'll be back.

Beautiful Course

Have always wanted to play this course, but it's been a private club. Was glad to see this course on GolfNow. Course was in great shape considering the drought we've been having. Fairways were plush and greens were nice and fast. I would play this course again and highly recommend it to friends.
