Broad Run Golfer's Club

This was my first time on the course as we were in the area for a family vacation and my son and I sneak away for a round each year on the trip.

Positives: Staff was very friendly. Cart was brought to our car in the parking lot before we had even shut off the engine. Very helpful staff to navigate around. Pro shop and bar staff were great to talk with. When our fourth showed up, he was driven down to the practice area, which is not a long walk, but it was a nice helping touch from the staff. I loved the layout. We are from a flat area, so I enjoy the challenges of elevation changes and blind shots. Many of the holes offered a spot to miss, with slopes down to the green or the fairway. If you ended up on the wrong side, in a bunker, you were in trouble. I loved that need to think your way around. Greens were in great shape. This course is not walkable. It's probably half a mile from the ninth green to 10 tee. Then even longer from the 18th green back to the clubhouse.

Negatives: No discount for a junior golfer was a little disappointing. Tee sheet was nearly full for a Wednesday, so they obviously don't need to bring additional play with the discount. We played on a day when it was 95 degrees and humid and were shocked there was not drinking water on the course. I believe there were stands for the jugs to go in (definitely in the practice area), but they were empty. I can't imagine a good reason to not have water available at any point in the summer, particularly on such a hot day.

Early morning Saturday round, course was already 10-15 mins behind at the first tee. Well over 5 hour round, should not happen when paying $100+ for a round. Course itself is still awesome, one of my favorites.

Waited a long time to play Broad Run, the price & my handicap are not really a great match. It was well worth the fees and I will be going back.

First time at the course , so we moved up a set of tees to the hybrid yellow/white to make the course play a little easier.

Routing on Monday was a little odd, we started play on 11; played through 18, then 10 & finished on front 9.. it was a difficult way to play but didn’t take away from a great experience.

Broad Run is the best public course I’ve played in southeastern PA.

It’s a 20 minute drive for me and will be in my regular rotation going forward.

I may even look into their unlimited play “membership”

This course jumped its rates to $100 due to Covid when it first started and they had to use special sanitation spray and use other measures that increased their cost. Well now that’s all in the past, they no longer give out minimal carts yet their price not only stayed….. it went up even more. $111 to play here is a complete and utter joke, they are solely getting by on location alone and being able to bend over locals cause the area is wealthier than others. There’s at least 4-5 courses above this one and none of them are over $70 to play. For $111 this should of been an immaculate course…… not even close!

This is my second time playing Broad Run and under much better conditions this time.

The course is maintained beautifully and there's plenty of challenges with terrain and hazards, but the fairways are decent width. Some VERY difficult holes and you can't get out of position or you'll need ot start thinking about playing for bogey. Hero shots attempts will just get you in trouble.

Hole #1 is simply too difficult for a starting hole for even decent players. A longish par 5 that finishes up hill to a tough green to hit behind bunkers and a steep slope. And hole #2 is likely the trickiest hole out there requiring a layout drive then a longer second shot to a well-protected green. So your first taste can definitely sour your round here.

Fortunately, the greens themselves allow for decent scoring as they are a reasonable speed so you can judge your chip shots and very little undulation despite all the sloping involved to get there. And fairways are often bowl shaped, or you can favor one side or the other to use steep slopes to kick your tee shots back into the fairway.

With thick brush pretty much everywhere beyond the rough, club down and keep your tee and approach shots in play or your ball is gone.

This is normally a pricey course intended or serious golfers, but if you can a deal on GN, and can control your ball reasonably well, it's a serious golf course and worth a visit.

Really good deal ($45 on July 4th) but I wouldn’t pay full price. Course was in decent condition but the layout is kind of funky. Maybe the hilliest track I’ve ever played in my life. A few slopes were unreal, not easy to walk from the cart to/from the green. If you have knee or ankle issues, you’d have a difficult time walking even 10-20 yards. I’d be surprised if people don’t get injured here on a fairly regular basis. I probably won’t be going back anytime soon.

Enjoyed the course, first time playing. Some blind shots, would help tip have a better map of the holes, either on the tee box or maybe GPS on the carts. A bit pricier than average but course is very challenging and has great views throughout.

Easily my favorite course in PA great views, layout and course conditions

Great course. Played many times; if it were closer, would be my home club.

An excellent course but not for novices. The course is long and extremely challenging. You cannot walk it; very hilly!! The scenery is breathtaking. It was my first time playing the course. I will play it again when I am in the area.

Played the course for &66.00 . Great value. Course closed to a private course in condition. No water or cart beverages on course, found that bad situation. Overall a fun day.

My wife and I had a 10:10 tee time and did not finish until 3:50! We were paired up with another twosome and after 9 they had enough and went to the pro shop to see if they could get their money back because of the pace of play. I had said something the turn and he did nothing to help with the situation. I feel there is no need to play a round of golf in just under 6 hours.It is a shame because it is a good golf course but because of the way things transpired at the course I will not be playing this course in the future. You pay good money to play here and the service was poor, the pro did not seem to care about the problems on the course so how is a apying customer supposed to feel.

The course layout and conditions are fantastic, but with price increases on a course that does not have a true driving range (balls are an extra cost), the value is not the best. At $111 it would be nice to have a small bucket to hit and water out on the course.

Its one of the most challenging and beautiful public courses in the phila area. Greens were a little banged up from lame golfers by overall quite good.

Great layout and in amazing condition. Staff was fantastic!!!
