Course Highlights
Brown's Run consistently earns praise for its classic, challenging layout that plays fair from any set of tees. Well-maintained conditions and a smooth pace of play make it an outstanding value in the area.

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.

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!

Where’s the water.

I’ve played this course several times and belong to a league at the course. They never refill the water jugs on the course. This last time they didn’t even have water to sell in the pro shop and they have never had a person who drives around the course offering to sale beverages. With the extreme heat that could cause a potential issue with someone passing out from heat exhaustion. Lastly take care of the ball washes too.

Fantastic shape!

Course was in great shape from tee to green. Greens were a little slow for my liking but that is being nit-picky. Nice layout that requires both decent distance and shot shaping. Multiple sets of tees make this a good course for multiple skill levels
