Brae Burn Golf Club

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.

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.

I played firstly this course. Some course is difficult if didn't have course information.

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.

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.

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.

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. Golfers were hitting two to three balls. No rangers watching and pushing the pace of play. Took 5 hours to play 18 holes.

First time playing this course. was pretty good shape considering the time of year (late October). Greens were very challenging.

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.

Nice layout big greens has lots of sloping fairways

Brae Burn is a pleasure to spend your day golfing.
The staff are exceptionally friendly, and make the outing very special. I will definitely make sure I take a friend next time and introduce him to a great experience.

A typical south-eastern Michigan country course. It has a variety of holes, doglegs both directions, uphills and some downhills. Not the most amazing course in the world but a solid choice.

if you have a long club this is your chance to bring it out.theres a nice short cut over the trees on the drive of that long par 5 on the back 9. elevated tee boxs are a plus.fast fairways.putting greens were bumpy due to aeration. Played at twilight pace was good until the last 5 holes (caught up to league players). Good times!

You can be on-in-two, and end up +1 very easy on this course. Turf conditions were nice, but the greens offer very little forgiveness. MapQuest does not identify the proper location of this course...it will route you to Northville Hills.

They should charge $3 to play this course. Everything badly needs attention. The parking lot badly needs maintenance as do the cart paths, the signs havent been painted in years and are chipping, etc. Dont put your ball in the rough, you wont find it since its not mowed enough. There are. well were, sand traps which the place decided was too much work to keep maintained so they just let them get overgrown with grass, its obvious. The maintenance on this place is terrible. I played a cheap metro park which was much better maintained than this place. The greens are screaming fast and wicked- most of my holes were 4 putts- Barely chip it on and it rolls off the other side. Frustrating. Also the layout is such that everyone hits into everyone else, I almost got hit 5 times in one round with balls landing right by me- and NOONE has the curteousy to yell FORE! I wont be back.

Course in good challening shape. Staff were terrific!

greens were being aerated half @ a time well done lots of break outing in front of me very slow had 2 skip 7 holes fine after that

The course is pretty well-maintained, but greens are pretty beat up. The pace was good without having any rangers that I saw. Over all not to bad, ill be back.

You usually get what you pay for, but in this case you get even less...hope that explains all.
