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.

Hadn’t played Broad Run in several years

I had forgotten how funky the first three holes are. The course was in very good shape and pace of play was excellent for an afternoon tee time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only other thing I didn’t like was they have large portions of fairways that are restricted for carts. That won’t bother some people, but I have limits on how much I can walk.

Overall, an enjoyable place to play.

Started at 8am and the round took 5 hours. Way too many people out on the course even that early.

Great course design

Rees Jones designed this course and you can tell someone with a strong blood line of designing famous courses around the world designed this course. There are no “boring holes” where they run parallel to the hole before and mimic each other. This course utilizes the natural landscape incredibly and the elevation changes and vistas are phenomenal. Each hole mandates the player to formulate a game plan, as there are very specific landing zones. When you miss there is punishment in thick grass and/or awkward stances. The bunkers were recently refreshed with fresh white sand and present a fair penalty for errant approach shots. The only downside of this course is the expense. But while it is more expensive, you do get what you pay for here. This is personally a local favorite of mine and I return as often as I can.

Good Course

Overall, Broad Run is a good course with some unique challenges. As of 6/17, the course was in great shape. The course has the reputation of playing slow. We had to wait on numerous holes and our round took 4:45. I've heard rounds of more than 5 hours on the weekends.

I'd like to see the Ranger "push" slow playing groups to improve the pace of play.

Excellent Conditions

This was my first time playing this course, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course conditions were A1 from tee to green, bunkers had nice soft sand. This course is challenging, unfortunately we ended up behind some inexperienced players that caused a lot of frustration. The overall experience was a great time, will be returning for sure.

18 great holes but very difficult

Great course for decent players, but too difficult for the average golfer. Course was in excellent condition. Great holes. But course routing is strange. Long way from greens to next tee in most cases

While carts are required, even so lots of difficult walks up and down hills. I enjoyed it, but it is not for everyone.

Fantastic course

Love everything about this course. Weirdest driving range on the planet as your basically hitting into the side of a mountain but everything else was fantastic. wish more golfers would fill their divots in the fairway but the greens were great.
