Designed by Rees Jones, Broad Run Golfer's Club boasts one of the best layouts in the area. The course sprawls across over 370 acres of rolling hills countryside. The dramatic elevations are definitely not something you would expect from a golf course that is conveniently situated so close to downtown Philadelphia. The elevated tees feel as though they're in the clouds and mature trees frame most of the holes. There are hazards lurking throughout the golf course including swampy marshlands and tall, dense grasses that are all just waiting to swallow errant shots. It is a challenging layout no doubt but it is made more player friendly with generous fairways and Jones was also light on the bunkering. One of the most difficult and scenic holes is the par-5 15th. This hole plays uphill, featuring a blind tee shot to a plateau green surrounded by trees.

Great round

A great round of golf on a perfect day, the course was in great condition, as probably mentioned in other reviews it is quite hilly, but if you stay in the fairway you are generally flat lie. Climbing hills to and from the cart to tee boxes and greens can be quite steep, but worth the effort.

For serious golfers

Broad Run is a killer course in many ways. It’s always in great shape and lush. The layout is awesome. That said, if you’re a high handicap or don’t bring your A game, good luck. If you are not accurate the day you arrive, just plan on moving up a tee box to spare yourself the embarrassment. The course is ultra demanding and if you count all your strokes and don’t give yourself putts, it may be an eye opening day for you. I see people playing the wrong tee boxes every time I’m there. Be accurate or don’t show up, regardless of how long you think you are.

First Time Playing

A very fun course

Was passing through the area and found this little gem. It was freezing cold (34 degrees), so there were not a lot of people on the course, so I cannot comment on pace of play on a typical day, but I played in 2:45. The course was in very good shape for this time of year and the greens were rolling true and the speed was reasonable. I am a 3-4 handicap and found it challenging but even a high handicap will be able to work there way around. Great staff, great hospitality and super fun layout. Would recommend to anyone.

Top notch

I think for the area it is an amazing course……. For those with deeper pockets. It is heavily priced for the average golfer with bills. Overall if I can land discounted tee times I would soak them up. It was amazing to play there and the staff were absolutely great to us. I highly recommend this course to those who are okay with the $80+ expense.

Broad Run

Greens were in excellent shape for a mid march round. I'm 74 and it was cart path only throughout. That was very tough because it's so hilly. First time out this year and I was hurting at the end!

5.5 Hour Round

Course is beautiful but it is incredibly slow. I have played there a couple times and it’s always a slow round. Today took 5.5 hours. They charge a premium price that would be worth it to me if they kept the rounds under 5 hours at the very lease.

Great holes and layout

I really enjoyed the course and the shots you needed to hit here. It was quite soft and I don’t know if it’s poor drainage, over watering or a combo of both. My bigger complaint was a course greenskeeper was an absolute jerk (I attempted some stronger language but was rejected) to us when we accidentally misread a sign on where to exit the fairway in the cart. Instead of a gentle reminder he went on a profanity laced rampage at us for our mistake. This was on the first hole so that set the tone for the day. The rest of the staff was great, just this one jerk who needs some anger management counseling.

Not what it used to be

Weekday $70 senior rate with cart was a good value. Non senior weekday rate is overpriced. Tee boxes were beat up and greens were average. Haven’t played here in several years. Course used to be pristine. $125 on weekends is way overpriced for current conditions.
