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.

Decent Course and Layout, Charges Walker Cart Fee

It’s unfortunate this course charges those who walk and those who use gas carts the same fee so they can squeeze out every ounce of profit. It really shouldn’t be that way.

For that reason I won’t be back but if that and the massively overpriced food & drink items don’t bother you, it’s a decent course in decent condition.

Best Value I've Ever Played

I'll admit, I'm not usually one to go out of my way to give good reviews. But for what I paid for the green fee I was absolutely blown away by this course. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens all in outstanding condition, and a fun course layout to go along with it. Played on Easter so course was pretty empty, got to basically play my own solo round and barely ran into anybody, so can't say much for pace of play. But this was one of the nicest sub-$70 green fee courses I've ever played, and at a very affordable price. I absolutely will be back and recommending this course to others.

This is by far my favorite place to play in the tristate area! I'm such a fan of playing different courses every chance I get but this is the one place I always come back to! Friendly staff, great greens, and lush conditions all year long! Looking forward to many more rounds here at Browns Run!

HIDDEN GEM IN MIDDLETOWN

Really enjoyed this former private country club turned public course on a clear sunny fall day with very few other golfers on the course. The single most outstanding thing this course offers are the pristine fairways, it was like hitting off of plush carpet. Greens putted true after fall aeration. Layout of holes offered a very good variety with several doglegs and options of tees. One very unusual item is there are no lakes on the course whi h explains why our group didnt lose many balls. We are long time golfers and play a variety of courses in the greater Cincinnati area. The price for our round of 18 holes obtained from Golf Now was $30 and very fair for the outstanding quality of the course. One thing to mention is that the two nines have been reversed, the former front nine is now the back which fooled some of our gps distance finders. The former restaurant has been closed permanently however the pro shop offers brats and dogs, beer and non alcoholic beverages and various snacks. Limited clothing items and only a few hats were found. On course bathroom only on back nine. There were no tee markers other than white paint on the grass. Course could benefit with a few directional markers as well. It is a beautiful track with many different types of trees and no problem with leaves during this fall season. Traps with sand but not really playable, hard pan and needed more sand or just remove them from course.We will definately add this course into our regular list to play. Staff very friendly and helpful. Price a real bargain. Gas powered carts in good shape, no onboard navigation.

Great Course!

Fairways were in the best condition of the courses around. Greens were recently punched so they were a little troublesome. They were also very challenging. A par 3 had the hole placement in the very front on an extreme slope that was reminiscent of a “groundskeepers revenge’ tournament. The golf cart was extremely slow but still nice. Loved the staff, the pro shop and club house area, very clean as well.
