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.

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.

Love Broad Run, But…

I play broad run all the time, but this is now the 2nd year in a row where I’ve booked a tee time with zero idea the greens had just been aerated. There was nothing posted in their website and GolfNow about recent aeration, and the clubhouse and starter both failed to mention it. Maybe it’s me, but that just seems wrong and deceitful. I would have booked another course had I known this. At the very least they should be making it well known it just went through aeration, and hopefully offering a slight discount due to the conditions.

In addition to this aeration, the every green had a significant amount of poa annua growing in it. This made for a very bumpy day of putting. I won’t be back until June when all of the poa has died. Get it together Broad Run!

Whoo Poa

This is a great golf course. However....... Unbelievably Poa annua fas invaded the greens.. This simply means no putt rolls like You would want. They all track in crazy ways. Or bounce. And the greens look like a bad painting from the 1960's

All Price and Not a Serious Golf Course!

Wow! Full rate of $115 to play winter golf in February?!?!?! Then they tell us that we can’t play the first hole so we had a match based on 17 holes. The greens were pathetic and the bar was closed! Don’t waste your time or money on this place. They have given up trying to care and just want to collect crazy rates for a sub-par course that isn’t managed at all.
