Rating 72.8

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.

Watch out for dynamic pricing

Reserved through Golfnow and was asked to pay an inflated price at check in. When asked about the difference I was told that they were using "dynamic pricing".

Round was pleasant and course was in ok condition. Not sure it was worth the $65 price point or the $72 with the up charge.

Best condition GolfNow course in the area.

The course conditions were great. Soft fairways and soft greens. The course is challenging hitting from the tips or from the old man tees. Grass better than most courses in the area and on GolfNow after the heat and humidity this summer. During the weekdays, there are only a few golfers until the leagues start. If you play weekdays, get started by 1pm. I recommend you don't play this fun course, because we enjoy having no groups in front of us and no groups behind us.

Not impressed

For $62.50 for 18 holes this was at best a waste of $40.00. Not to mention ton some in my group were charged $72 for 18 holes, they do not offer a military discount definitely not friendly. The course is a sub average condition at best. I could have paid $20 less to play at course twice as nice. Save your money and play Jamaica run for far less. They are essentially the same courses.

Not worth the weekend morning money

Not worth the morning tee time money of 70$. Course used to be half decent, recently though it is in worse condition Iv seen in a while. Keep that in mind.

What happened??

I was somewhat disappointed, after playing this track several times last year, it is in awful shape right now. Understandably there’s going to be some burn off on the fairways due to the heat this time of year but clearly there is no course etiquette when it comes to replacing/repairing divots and ball marks on the greens. They need to at least communicate with some signage or have some Marshalls police and educate. Also no water available other than the turn during 90 degree weather was a little surprising as well.

Nice layout

Course was very nice. I wouldn’t recommend playing right after a rain storm. The course doesn’t drain very well, it was very soggy when we played
