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.

Too pricey for walkers
Nice layout with good conditions. Traps need more sand. Some holes need tree pruning to bring back original design intent of course. Very walkable course but unfortunately non-member walkers are charged a cart fee even though they want to walk. We paid $60 to walk 18 today. Senior rates also not in affect on Fridays. Dynamic pricing supposed to be in affect but we paid regular rate today even though we were only group on course this morning due to temperatures in 40’s and wet conditions. Too many other nice courses in area you can walk for $25-$30 less.
Pro Shop Closed for Remodel -- Pay Inside the Clubhouse/Restaurant
The Pro Shop is currently closed for remodeling, so you have to go into the restaurant to pay.
Downhill
Renovating the pro shop. Closing the restaurant. Cost in February was midsummer $$. Course was sloppy due to weather and they were sending groups off at 7 minutes intervals with cart path only; resulting in very slow play.
Hardyboys60,
We were on winter rates through March 1st. We have 8 minute intervals only on the weekends and with the carts on the path due to the weather, it did make play slow. Come back and revisit to see our improvements!
Changes have been made
So showed up and first of all, they are charging summer rates now as of March 1st. So it was $64 for 18 . The course hadn’t been touched.. bunkers were concrete, etc. I don’t care to pay the higher rates but at least manicure the course. The clubhouse is shut down for remodeling, so you have to go into the restaurant to pay. They ran out of carts. And news flash, the swapped the 9’s.. so #10 is now #1 which is fine but maybe change the signage, people were getting lost and confused. Greens were in good shape.
Jausterman,
We are in transition to make this course on the best in the area. Come back and revisit us and see what we have done this winter!
One of the best in the region
Brown’s Run is a classic course that is challenging, fun and beautiful. The condition of the course was exceptional for February. Fairways and greens were close to peak season making the experience and value impeccable. I can’t wait to come back later this year to see how much better it is during prime time. This is a “must play” for anyone who appreciates a traditional design.
Thank you for the kind comment! We are driven to be the best course around!
Great Course
Brown's Run is one of the best kept secrets in the Region. The course is challenging, fair and a great value. Although it was still winter, it's obvious that they are serious about keeping it pristine. I found the conditions exemplary for February and can't wait to play it during prime weather months later this year.
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.
Thanks for the compliments! We take our signs down during the winter months to preserve them. We will have them up this spring.
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.
