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.

Overpriced

Interesting course. Generally in pretty good shape. Very hilly. Can be physically taxing especially if it’s cart path only which is often.

Prices are about 50% higher than comparable courses in the area. Really no way to justify.

Like the course but not the cost.

Beautiful, challenging course

Play this course regularly. Tom, the head pro, is a very welcoming and professional guy. Most of his staff is very welcoming and courteous as well. Course is well-maintained and many of the views are eye-opening. The course is challenging and probably not the best choice for beginners.

No value left for this course

Broad Run is a great layout and challenging course. It's just crazy how Byler Golf Mgmt is getting away with charging these prices in the Winter/Spring shoulder season.. They artificially inflate their rates with "Dynamic Pricing" which doesn't make any sense. I played with a member and the rate was still $90, for a Saturday in the shoulder season, lol. It's honestly cheaper to join as a member play 20 times and make your money's worth. This is a nice public course, but not worth those kind of price. Either go fully private or get more realistic with actual greens fees.

For that kind of money during this season it should be pristine. Boxes were decent, some greens were in perfect shape, others it looked like 0 work was done to make them consistent with the others. Idk where the extra money is going to if the course isn't pristine.

Not as usual

We have played here a few times. It's usually stellar as far as conditions and pace of play. Regarding conditions, I recognize it's March and the grass is still mostly dormant and areas that need to grow in were expected, but you shouldn't charge full high end country club for a day prices for a course that's still playing like a winter course. which is why I gave the value a 1. Especially when you then hang a "stay on path" sign on almost every hole, basically making you walk up and down stadium course hills on every hole, resulting in a 5+ hour round. That's why I gave the layout a 3 and pace of play a 2 , because it's not suitable for cart path only. Just a big disappointment compared to past experiences.

Broad Run vs. Flatlander Golfer

Wow, I expected a tough outing with my group. I was not disappointed. My fitness watch shot to 29 flights completed. We had a frost delay and a mixed cart path only round. Given the time of the season, the course was in really good shape. The round took 5+ hours because of the delay and path rules, which wasn’t bad. Problem was, the restaurant was closed by the time we finished. It was Sunday, so I do understand. Will try for a summer outing here and compare the outcome.

Awesome Experience

Course layout is great as every hole has elevation changes, dog legs, etc.

Course condition was in excellent condition as everyone in the foursome kept commenting on how great a shape the course was in for mid-December.

(Just need to continue to post signs on repairing divots)

Course staff from pro shop to starter to halfway house to cart guys were all extremely friendly and nice.

Course is a must play.!

Unfriendly to singles

If you are by yourself you are required to ride with a stranger in a cart separated by an inadequate piece of plastic or pay $20 extra. This is an unnecessary risk during a pandemic. It is also a bush league price gouge at a time when courses are making record profits.

The layout is so spread out that carts are required and it is impossible to walk. Rounds take longer than at other courses because of this. Overall a very nice well maintained course in a beautiful setting.

5 Hour Round

This is a great course. Well kept, fantastic views, and fun to play. However, it is hard to finish your round in under 5 hours. Of the times I have played, I have found myself waiting at each hole while one group is in the fairway, and another is on the green. This definitely makes the round much less enjoyable as you spend a large amount of time waiting at every tee box. I'm not writing this to just be mean. Broad Run - please add some spacing of the tee times/on course rangers for next season. This has happened multiple times to me now, and I really do want to come play the course again. However, I find it quite frustrating to be sitting 10+ minutes at every tee box.

Hello, Tommy. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and use your comments as guidance in doing so. Thank you for playing Broad Run Golfer's Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Nicest Course I’ve been to

This course presents a somewhat difficult layout but my god it’s the coolest course I’ve played. The 17th is my favorite.

Great track!

Just an absolutely beautiful course with all the spectacular views of the gorgeous Chester County countryside. At $75 including cart I think it would be appropriately priced for summer play but this was November. That being said it still is fun to play. Worth the drive.

Broad Run is one of the best public golf courses in the Delaware Valley area. The staff was friendly, course conditions were spectacular for November conditions, and the rate of play was favorable. I look forward to playing my next round at this beautiful course!

Great Course

The course is in great condition for early November. Nice layout, can be challenging but if played properly it can be rewarding. Played during a rainstorm, no one else was dumb enough to play through it so it took a little over 3 hrs. They don't do rainchecks or 9 hole rate. Would go back, maybe at a lower rate for this time of the year.

The staff is very outgoing willing to help with all your requests. The layout is very challenging, not for the faint of heart. This course is a Must Play at this time of the year with the trees changing colors and the Magnificent views.
