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.

One of the prettiest courses I’ve ever played. The fall leaves in full plumage helps, but fairways and greens are immaculate. Highly recommend and hope to come back. Pace of play was very slow but didn’t mind much as the views made up for it.

Just a pure course. Beautiful layout, and in great conditions. Greens are fast and receptive, tee boxes are well kept, and fairways. Loved this course and worth the extra money if you are serious about golf.

Top Area Course

Broad Run is definitely in the upper echelon of Philadelphia/ Wilmington area public courses. The layout is fun but can be very taxing if you don’t hit fairways and greens. Miss a green wide and you’ll find yourself standing on a 30% slope chipping downhill. Some incredible vistas and downhill shots make the round very memorable. Conditions are fantastic. If you can play this course for $70 or less you’re doing pretty well for your money.

Challenging round of golf

A challenging course with tough greens - you’ll be rewarded by staying in the fairways. Friendly staff and the course is in good shape. The bar is a must in the patio !

Nice layout. What little staff there was were friendly enough, but it’s understaffed to be sure. Course is in good condition apart from the tee boxes, which were dreadful.

Great course, no water available is crazy

This was my first time on the course as we were in the area for a family vacation and my son and I sneak away for a round each year on the trip.

Positives: Staff was very friendly. Cart was brought to our car in the parking lot before we had even shut off the engine. Very helpful staff to navigate around. Pro shop and bar staff were great to talk with. When our fourth showed up, he was driven down to the practice area, which is not a long walk, but it was a nice helping touch from the staff. I loved the layout. We are from a flat area, so I enjoy the challenges of elevation changes and blind shots. Many of the holes offered a spot to miss, with slopes down to the green or the fairway. If you ended up on the wrong side, in a bunker, you were in trouble. I loved that need to think your way around. Greens were in great shape. This course is not walkable. It's probably half a mile from the ninth green to 10 tee. Then even longer from the 18th green back to the clubhouse.

Negatives: No discount for a junior golfer was a little disappointing. Tee sheet was nearly full for a Wednesday, so they obviously don't need to bring additional play with the discount. We played on a day when it was 95 degrees and humid and were shocked there was not drinking water on the course. I believe there were stands for the jugs to go in (definitely in the practice area), but they were empty. I can't imagine a good reason to not have water available at any point in the summer, particularly on such a hot day.
