Broad Run Golfer's Club
About
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 layout! Best place in Chester County
I enjoy this course a great deal - I think it has the best layout in Chester County.
Since we played in the fall, I was expecting a number of “leaf balls”, but the staff has done a great job of removing the leaves, sticks, etc from the course.
The greens were faster than I expected they would be for this time of year.
All around kudos to all the staff for keeping the course in really nice shape.
What a gem!
Conditions were excellent! Leaves were blown off of fairway and roughs Greens ran true, and the sights were perfect fall ball. Could not have asked for a more scenic round. I enjoyed my round very much. Will be back.
Great Day
Awesome course .. best in the area... layout and elevation changes and views make you feel like your away on a golf vacation.... highly recommend!!!
Great course
One of the most picturesque courses I have played in PA. Love how almost every hole is a private hole. Views are beautiful and fairways and greens in great shape, well manicured. Would play more often if I lived closer and the deals on Golf Now have made it much more affordable. It is worth the normal price, but with trying to play as much as I can the deals make it amazing for the price!
Much improved.
The course conditions, especially the greens were much improved since my last round here a few years ago.
The layout is great, greens were fast. I'll be back.
Great course but.....
Great track layout and overall taken well care of. Rating reflects pace of play. 3.5 hours for front nine. Walked off at turn. Informed pro shop who was accommodating but the issue is that rangers don’t enforce pace of play and starter (high school student) doesn’t know how to space out groupings. Really comes down to Rangers, passed several who just waved. Yet when I spoke to pro shop about group backing up the course, he already knew who I was talking about. One of the best public courses in state, but need to improve on their operations or it will ruin its stature.
Fall Golf 2020
Pack some patience as the course layout translates to a 4.5 hr round... that said this is a premier public golf course in the greater Philadelphia area
Broad run
Course always plays tough from the blues! Rolling terrain and lots of uphill shots into wind today. Greens were good but full of old ball marks left unrepaired.
Enjoyable day of golf
Played here with a Group Golfer voucher for $45. Well worth that price. Not sure I would say the same thing for the rack rate of $99, but I enjoy playing here a couple of times a year. It’s worth the 1.5 hour drive for me.
Course was in very nice shape for the most part. A little wet in spots but nothing affecting play. Greens rolled nicely while very soft to accept approach shots. Tee boxes and fairways were well manicured.
Pro shop staff very friendly.
Great course, but pricey
I booked two foursomes in early Oct 2020. The course was in great shape. This course is difficult, but fair. You pay for a bad shot, but you do not get overly penalized by a decent shot that may be just a bit off-line. Also no hidden swails or false-fronts, etc. The course is beautiful and fun to play. My only reservation is the cost. It was $99 per person. There are other nice courses in the general area that are under $50. So it's not a course I will play a lot....just as a special treat.
Great course, terrible pace of play
This course is in beautiful condition and enjoyable to play. My only issue is they keep you on the cart paths for half of the holes and the wide fairways make the walk back and forth very time consuming.
Played twice within the past week and both rounds averages 5hrs.
Great layout
Broad run has one of best layouts in area with some terrific holes. Course was in fair shape and obvious heavy play. Have feedback to starter and pro shop that pace of play was terrible for a day with low play volume. Took 5.5 hrs and no one was managing the 4 some two holes ahead who were more interested in socializing and drinking beer.
Fun Day...Beautiful Views
I was paired up with friendly people. Great weather and course was in excellent shape. I usually dont like hilly courses but this one ended up being the exception. It was a fun day playing.
Staff was friendly.
They were careful with the covid-19 situation.
My only complaint was length of time it took to play which was 5 hours.. Since this was my first time playing here, i dont know if that is normal.
Will definitely return. It might even be my new favorite course to play in the area.
Great Course, Great Layout
If you’re in Chester County, PA, looking to play some golf at a challenging and fair layout, you can’t go wrong at Broad Run. Friendly staff takes care of you from the time you arrive.
Challenging and beautiful course but mis-managed.
This year has been a good time for many to pick up golf as one of the only past times available for some time. I definitely have been out more this year than years past. When courses re-opened I had no problem paying a premium as I know they needed to make up for the longer time between tee times and lost time shutdown. Slowly the tee times have gotten more close together back to 10 minutes. Had a confrontation with the Ranger when we saw him first. We asked how we were doing, he informed us we were "perfect." On the same hole (par 3) he comes back to tell us we need to play best ball the next hole to speed up. We were pushing the folks in front of us all day. The course should not expect everyone to keep paying $99/round while shortening tee time spacings to then harass golfers who are not the hold up. Just overall poor situation that makes you not want to go back. For the price you may as well hit Glenn Mills. Also at the turn, both groups (two foursomes) were told we were at 3 hours for the front when we were at 2:35. Ended up finishing the round 7 minutes after the pace of play estimate. Stop ruining people's gorgeous days on the links.
excellent course
First time here today. Staff was friendly and helpful. course was in great condition and the views were incredible. We got a paired up with a Club member Luke and he was like our guide for the day. If you know Luke, be sure to tell him he’s awesome! Overall, this a must play course and we will be back!
Broad Run is certainly a "Golfers" Course
The golf course was in great shape, minus a couple of tee boxes. The layout is really good and the variety of holes are a lot of fun and quite challenging, even from the white tees.
The pace of play was a different story, as it took just over 5 hours to play. It would have been nice to see a marshall riding around and also a cart person selling drinks.
Broad Run - First Impressions
Unique layout. Friendly staff. Like many courses, they’re squeezing in rounds to make up for Covid. Course conditions petty good, but rough is a little aggressive. Several shots from group hit fairway, rolled out to first cut, lost ball. Greens were fast, but no give/receptiveness. But for as much play they are getting they were in good condition. Would play here again.
