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.

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.

Great course but will always be a long round

Only downfall to the course is pace of play. Broad run has to a better job. 4.5-5 hour rounds are way to long.

Beautiful Course

What a great course. I have not played in years and so glad I came back. A gorgeous course in terms of scenic views and feels like you are in the mountains. A very challenging course and need to be able to get off the tee. A lot of fairways undulated so depending on shots may get some very favorable rolls. Course in excellent shape and highly recommend playing. I can’t wait to come back. Will be a beautiful course in the fall once the leaves change with the gorgeous views.

AERATION ALERT

The course won’t tell you but I will.

Greens were punched on Aug 14

Wait a couple of weeks and enjoy the round. Or give your green fees to the course now and have a sub par experience.

It’s maddening how very few courses will alert their customers in advance of aerated greens. I enjoy Broad Run immensely but this deceptive practice ruined my day. I won’t play here again this year because of this. Probably 4-5 rounds of green fees lost by Broad Run. I’ll play next year but will call the pro shop every time and ask about conditions.
