Brae Burn Golf Club
About
Brae Burn Golf Club in Plymouth has a traditional layout with a landscape that ranges from gently rolling to wildly undulating. On most holes, elevated tees play to elevated greens. The large, undulating greens usually slope back to front. Golfers will encounter water on 15 holes and the fairways are lined with mature trees. The bunkering is sparse but strategically placed and there are also rough-enhanced moguls protecting the greens, a unique feature at Brae Burn. One tip if it is your first time on the golf course is to study the course diagram beforehand since there are many hidden ponds that come into play on the fairways and greensides. The course's most famous hole is the par-5 13th, nicknamed "The Monster" since it measures a devilish 666 yards. This tricky hole double doglegs to the left and then back towards the right.

Redo- greens
Greens where very hard and seemed a little unfair. condishtions were a little wet.
Unbelievable!
Checked in 30 minutes prior to tee time. The golf attendant (kid) working the desk stated I could not tee off early because of the discounted rate I got on golfnow.
Golf course was not busy at all. And after seeing conditions of course and lack of customer service not surprised at he lack of business. I got a hot dog at the turn which was cold, I just threw it out.
Just a bad experience but I played well. First and last time I will play course.
Normally love this course
The day we booked this course, we were not informed of an outing that was ahead of us. We only got in 13 holes before we were backed up 15 minutes on each hole. We left, but did receive a rain check for 9 holes before Nov 15th, so lets hope the weather hold out.
Nice Course
Nice course to play. It was open and forgiving. I did loose a ball or two in the fairway because of the leaves and tall grass but overall a good value.
Fun and challenging
Played this course early, about 7:45am. Had a threesome tee of in front of me and they must have been playing speed golf becuse I was never held up by them.
Course was in fabulous shape. Was wet but that's what you get at the time I teed off. Greens were healing from aeration but were still in great shape. Played the course in 3 hours flat so it was a great pace.
Young man who opened the clubhouse could have been a tad nicer and more attentitive. He walked off and left me standing at the counter by myself for a while while he went to the lounge area to do something. I was the only one in line at the time so he could have assisted me then went about doing what he needed to do.
course is in great shape
Course is in awesome shape. I used to play here when I was younger didn't care for it much then. Now I wish I lived closer I would definitely play here more.
Great course , average conditions, tough putting!!
Brae Burn is to me a great course, even though the length isn't super long. This course makes you think about all aspects of your game, especially course management and approach shots. The risk, reward on the dog legs(over trees) is doable and allows you to cut quite a bit of distance to the green. Especially 9 and 13(the "MONSTER'). Also for bigger hitters, there are a couple par 4's (4 & 17) that are reachable off the tee. The putting is truly difficult and you need to be below the holes on most putts. Fun course, but could be maintained better, heavy grass clipping off the fairway were a problem.
good golf course
we like braeburn golf course, good for both men and the ladies, tees were up too far for mens the day we played, very good conditions, we will be back !
Fast greens
Walked for $20.00, well worth it. Didn't wait on one hole. Greens have sped up tremendously since beginning of year. Precarious pin placements made accurate approach shots a must. The "Monster" ate me for lunch..... Had a great time. Sandwich afterwards was excellent, as always.
Poorly Managed
The course overbooked its tee times such that we were forced to play the back nine twice (even though we had made a tee time some time ago). Also, they were so overbooked that they ran out of golf carts for at least three groups (who anxiously asked us when we completed our round whether there were more groups behind us with carts). I have played here for 15 years, but it has been going downhill for some time. I will not be back - there are too many other good courses in the area.
Brae Burn has some challenging holes.
This round was my first of 2014. I have played here many times over the years. Overall the course was satisfactory-greens were on the slow side (not normal-usually fairly fast). Course was soft due to prior rain. The main need is to improve the cart paths-much too many bumps and awarkward transitions. Hopefuly management will make needed path updates. If so, golfers would have a much more enjoyable experience. The course is best suited to hone your iron play as you are often firing at crowned greens and uphill on many approaches. Staff is most often friendly and appreciative of your business.
This course is not easy course.
I played firstly this course. Some course is difficult if didn't have course information.
I still like the layout, but...
The greens were in great condition compared to some of the other Detroit Metro area courses I have played this year. The fairways were ok. My issues are with the weeds, the roughs and the mosquitoes.
The course maintenance is just not what is was 3 to 4 years ago when I first started playing the course.
Green in great shape, but putting is tough
The course is in great shape after a tough winter. Greens are great but I don't think there is a flat one in 18. Little wet but plays great.
The Greens! Oh, the Greens!
It's not a grandiose course, but man, was this fun. I took the twilight rate and was able to squeeze in 18 holes for $22. And the course itself is fantastic...challenging with playable lies, long holes (such as #13...the infamous "Monster"), graduation changes, etc. Where it lacks are the traps....many have become grass traps. But making up for this deficiency are the greens...holy cow, are these fast and undulating! Just because you are on in regulation is no guarantee of a good score. One of the toughest greens I have been on.
That being said, the course itself is fantastic, even if you have a landfill in the distance. Go for the playability and fun challenge, not the surroundings.
Greens were moving quick
The course was in pretty good condition. The only downside of this course is the location. A monster landfill sits on the other side of 5 mile
Slow play
Slow play. Golfers were hitting two to three balls. No rangers watching and pushing the pace of play. Took 5 hours to play 18 holes.
Nice course
First time playing this course. was pretty good shape considering the time of year (late October). Greens were very challenging.
Great features.
I'm from Northern Illinois and enjoyed the round especially the longest Par 5 at 666 yards. Planning to play this course again on my next visit to Michigan.
long and hilly
Nice layout big greens has lots of sloping fairways
