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.

Awesome course. Lots of up hill long par 4s and par 5s. Will definitely be playing this course when I can. Driving range is funny how it’s set up but still overall great experience for the first time playing there

Great course but terrible pace.

This is a gem of a course with a beautiful and challenging layout. Be prepared to hit every club in your bag at some point. Course was in good condition and not enough can be said about the views.

Unfortunately management has sold it soul to the devil for a few extra sheckles. My last round would have lasted over five and a half hours had I not left after 11 holes. Pulling up to each hole there was a group on the tee box, on the fairway, and the green. Unacceptable and disappointing. Friends have had similar experiences as well. Is it worth the terribly slow pace for a few extra tee times squeezed in?

A lot of potential for a great course but pace will prevent me from going back.

Cresco gem

Broad run is a very hilly course with ALOT of distance between holes.. Now for the good, very challenging with very good conditions and multiple tees to make it challenging for advanced players. Greens, fairways , tees and traps were all good. Not recommended for beginners or people who struggle walking on hills. Overall excellent for intermediate and advanced golfers.

Great Course

The course is really fun, greens rolled well early and it’s a challenge on every shot. I’ll definitely be back

The only gripe I have is for the goofball ranger who did goofball ranger things all day. They really serve no purpose.

Played Yesterday. Such a good course I went back and played today

Immaculately kept. Greens were perfect. they dont move as much as it looks like they would. Seems every miss was high).

Fairways were perfect.

Views were great. Wildlife was around and just made it cool.

Played yesterday, had a few holes get away from me and shot in the 90’s from the blues. Went back today knowing I could play better and shot an 85 from the blacks. Par threes are challenging and the pins are protected by either sand or water.

Will definitely be back.

I’m a very experienced, low handicap senior player. My club had an event today so I decided to try an upscale public access course. Greens are practically uncut on a Sunday. Maybe a5 on the stimp. If you are the type of player that doesn’t mind paying premium prices for good conditions, try a different course.

Very Well Maintained, great course layout with every hole having a different elevation. Hole 17 is a great par 3 with a huge drop and fantastic views. Would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys golf.

Too pricey for winter conditions

I've played Broad Run many times and it's a nicely maintained and challenging public course. But I was very disappointed paying a premium winter season price for a course with sand traps under repair and temporary tee box locations. It was cart path only. too. It's understandable to have these course conditions during the winter season, but the price should be lowered due to the greatly diminished golf experience.

Great Course

Course was in very good condition and is very challenging. Only negatives were bunkers need some sand, but expected at end of season and they were rebuilding several of them. Also, there were many leaves and "helicopter" tree seeds on greens which they could have done more to clear, but somewhat expected for time of year.. Play was about 5 hours due to full course, leaf issues and very long distance between some holes.. Still one of the best courses in the area. Not recommended for beginners or high handicap players.
