Brown's Run Country Club

About
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.

Great Course
Unbelievable conditions for winter in Ohio. Staff was friendly. Course layout was decent, not really much to it. Signs for next tee box would be nice as the paths crisscross and even go across the street a couple times, but other than that, would happily play again.
Hidden gem
Second time I played the course and really enjoyed it both times. Course was in great shape. Greens rolled perfect. Layout and yardage from white tees is a challenge which I enjoy.
Thank you for the review! Hope to see you back this spring!
Great course
Course was in great condition for December. Can’t imagine what it would look like in the summer.
Always good!
Browns Run is always in good condition and well played out.

This course is 39 miles away . Glad I made the trip ..Greeting in club house awesome . Course conditions amazing from tee to green . Course length tee boxes for all levels of players . Played from 5600 yds . No tricks just keep it in play . Greens slope front to back on many holes ... . I will play again .
Great course. Well maintained. It is worth the drive. I will definitely will come back.
Great Course!
Fairways were soft. Tee boxes weren’t full of divots. People actually repair ball marks on the greens. Great course!
Fantastic course
First time playing BR and I will definitely be back! Course was in great shape including perfect fairways, greens, greens are tough but fair, love this course!!
Much improved. Very nice!
Like most courses Browns Run has gone through its ups and downs. It is returning to its form as a private club. Course conditions were great. Greens rolled true, fairways and tee boxes in nice condition. Great value. Definitely coming back!

Thanks for the compliments! We take our signs down during the winter months to preserve them. We will have them up this spring.
