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.

Bring your A game
Played twice within the last week, both times a day after rain. Cart path only on holes 4,5,9,11,&18. Fairways are wide and if you were on the wrong side of the cart path it was quite a walk to the ball and there are often hills to climb down to the ball then back up to the cart.
The course is in great shape with the exception of the bunkers. I might have thought that was mostly due to recent rain, but it seems to be a constant in the past reviews. They should have a tractor to rake them to start the day to loosen the sand.
A beautiful, scenic course. Come play and enjoy the course and the views, but don't really think you are going to walk the course.
Pace of play is slow due to cart path only, hills, large greens, and course difficulty. It is what it is. There are so many uphill holes that have uphill landing areas, so you don't get any roll on tee shots. If you are not a long hitter expect quite a few second shots that are over 170 yards.
I experienced a group of three that was matched with my tee time as a single and they objected playing with me even though I had made the initial reservation. The starter was very apologetic and offered me a variety of alternatives knowing that I'd rather not be forced on a group that did not want to be paired with someone. Things worked out fine and I appreciate the starters thoughtfulness.
Decent course, but....
This is a decent golf course, generally in good condition, particularly the greens. There’s a lot of elevation change, so if you don’t care for that, avoid this course. My main concern about this locale is the lack of staff to support players on the course. I played in a foursome on the last date I played there, and we were following a threesome. We had to wait to take nearly every shot, and when it became clear on the back nine that the group in front of us had completely lost sight of the group in front of them, I called the pro shot to ask that they send a ranger out to push the threesome along. I was advised that there was no staff to do that and to ask the group in front to pick up the pace. We did, with unfortunate results - told by them to take it up at “the complaint window”. That’s not the fault of the pro shop, but knowing the issue with slow play on public courses, it’s a disservice to the paying public not to have a ranger on duty.
Okay
Course must get a lot of play
Greens were not in great shape but some of that is rudeness of players Not repairing ball marks. Layout is beautiful
Not sure if it’s worth $90
Very Nice Course
Conditions were great. The only thing not up to par was the bunkers. They could use some work. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were very good. Would not hesitate to go back.
Decent public track
Broad Run is fun to play although a little guirky in spots. Reasonable conditions and pace of play
How the mighty have fallen
Very sad day.
Course used to be well maintained. Now, not so much.
Traps were trashed, tee boxes, fairways, greens, all in rough shape.
I’ll be back in the spring to see if things change.

Love this course. ....BUT
as much as I like the layout of this course , I have to say the conditions of the green are below average
The fairways and tee boxes are in bad shape. The course needs serious attention
Not a good time to play now
Played before and was a good experience but not at this time. Aeration and no bunkers(full of water).
I was set to play with a group of 4 but they put alone in busy time. Sometimes I had for more than 10 minutes yo hit a shot. At the end I went back to the office to complain but the felt sorry for and wished for me to come back to have a better experience. The gentleman tried his best and gave me a free basket of balls for the range. GolfNow should have my money back.

Nice course scenic slow play no rangers
Bunkers need sand greens soft but bumpy
Expensive unless u get a deal
One of the most picturesque golf courses I've ever played. course is in great shape except greens were very bumpy but I believe that might because of all the rain we had
