Brown's Run Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Rangers
The course was cart path only it was clearly posted when you checked in. Multiple groups were driving off the path. Would really appreciate a ranger or common courtesy so a beautiful course can stay beautiful all season long
Well managed
First time playing, very well managed facility and pace of play, enjoyed myself and will be back at a later point in time.
Very nice course…I will be back
First time at Brown’s Run. Won’t be my last. Super friendly staff and a challenging layout. Course was in excellent shape.
Beautiful Course
I’ve always wanted to play an Arthur Hills Country Club course. Majority of them were at one point in time private, now made public. The course was 4/5. The clubhouse is nice, the staff is young. I enjoyed the challenging greens. I was on pace for birdie/par but found myself 2-3 putting. Overall I’d definitely play Browns Run again. I love the history behind the course, the designers are well known. The pace of play was the only thing that I didn’t like. Some holes it was quiet and relaxed, others it felt rushed. They also don’t have starters on the course which is very odd for how well kept of a course it is.
Great for ladies!
Love this course! It was in great shape for how dry it has been. It's very enjoyable for ladies and the people there are friendly.
Great Course!
Really enjoyed playing here. Course was in pretty good shape. Tees, fairways, & greens were all lush. Greens rolled a good speed too, and had just enough undulation to make them a little challenging. Definitely going back!
Old memories
We were members for over 15 years and the course conditions were close to the hey day of this club staff friendly and thourghly enjoyed our day
Great course
Course is in great conditions. Greens in good pace, fairways & tees are fantastic. Great course for walking. There’s more room on several holes than you think. Having some prior knowledge on 2-3 holes would be more helpful, but not necessary. Would love to play again.
Great value
The course is in great condition, I have played there several times a year for 4-5 years, each year the conditions have improved (2019’ish I would not have given a positive review on the course conditions)
The pro shop is nothing special but the food in the restaurant has never disappointed.
Great value overall
Fantastic Course!
Always a great place to play! Fairways and Greens in excellent shape! Tee boxes were good. Club has updated the Proshop and tees have new markers. Always enjoy playing Browns Run throughout the season!
A well maintained hidden gem; peaceful & secluded.
Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape & rolled true! The course itself has a great flow hole-to-hole - not a lot of time spent getting from one tee box to another and lacks the stress of having houses nearby.
It's a great parkland style course that has several dog legged holes that force the player to think strategically rather than driver off the box & repeat. Many of the holes throughout the course are gaurded by bunkers and mature treelines. The back 9 have quite a bit of undulation & subtle elevation changes that make for a challenging approch shot. Overall, the course is very re-playable and a great value. I would encourage folks from Cincinnati to make the drive, higly recommend.
Good value
The course is kept is pretty great shape. They have daily deals on their website to keep the price down a little.
The course is not easy. If you’re an average golfer expect to shoot 5 shots over what you average. I’m about a 20 handicap and I average about 96-97 here. The greens are difficult to read and bunkers guard most of them. Overall it’s well worth your money to play here .
