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.

Scenic glory

Amazing setting, incredible views. Not what it was when first built. Encroaching houses don’t kill the experience but oh what it could have been. Spectacular layout, not for walkers! Condition just good, mid summer burnouts in places, adequate but slowish greens. Fewer amenities, no cart refreshments, mid summer but no drinking water on course. Mid week pace of play very good,, overall worth the money and a beautiful course. Always has/had a terrible driving range, but better than none. The range should have been located where the first hole houses are.

Love having this course on my play list, just hope they can keep it up.

Absurdly Overpriced For Such Poor Course Conditions.

I've probably played this course close to 100 times since it opened, and besides summer 2005 when some greens were destroyed by very heavy rain, this course is in the worse condition I've ever seen. It is sadly a shell of what it once was. This course used to have pristine conditions - checkered fairways, fast and smooth greens, fluffy sand in the bunkers, grass on the tee boxes. Unfortunately the course conditions are not good at all considering the greens fees. No way is this place worth $110 per round. That price is absurd considering the conditions. In particular, the tee boxes are chewed up very badly. Some of them barely have any grass at all. The bunkers are even worse. I didn't see a single rake on the entire course. And some of the bunkers had hardly any sand in them at all. They were like playing off of cement. If this course is going to be in the shape of a beat up muni, then they should charge appropriately for it.

Great first time experience

Was the most scenic golf courses played in sometime. Could not get over how much ground the course takes up as you don't parallel any holes. Tests ALL parts of your game. Very courteous staff; welcome, bar and pro shop.

Not what it was years ago

I remember playing this course a few years ago when they had checkered fairways and gps in the carts, now they have neither. Great course but not for $79. I’d play here all day for $50. Sorry, but probably won’t be making the 1hr trip to play this course again unless they lower the price

Great play

Needs to be a hot deal to play about 20-30$ over priced but beautiful views. Greens and tee boxes could use some more upkeep

Absolute Stunner of a Course

This course was the best I have played this year. Overall great condition from rough to the greens. The only downfall was the bunkers were somewhat muddy, but it was after the few days of rain we recieved. I drove about an hour to get here and it was completely worth it.

Round review

Mist/fog filled the early AM. You could not see 20 yards ahead and we had no choice but to play. We were told our pace was slow which should be expected since our first 3 holes were ruined due to the elements.

Great Layout

The course is in very good condition with one glaring exception. The traps need fresh sand and to be worked. They are awful.
