Course Highlights
Brae Burn's strategic layout features a mix of short par 4s and hilly terrain that rewards thoughtful play. Groomed fairways, fast greens, and a smooth pace of play consistently deliver strong value for golfers.

Type Public
Par 70
Length 6511 yards
Slope 123
Rating 69.2

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.

Where verbal and physical abuse to patrons is tolerated!

Let me start by saying that I have been playing here for 4+ years almost on a weekly basis; I don't mind the course and the staff, but the management of the course is atrocious. There were multiple incident where our group of 8 at various times felt unwelcomed, but due gave it the benefit of doubt, until this weekend. Mgmt stood silent when a drunken golfer went into a verbal tirade (extreme foul language and racial slurs) and started shoving one of my friends - all in the clubhouse in front of the manager and his staff! The manager did not try to diffuse the situation and did not call the cops even after we requested him to as the assault happened on his property. I for one have decided to boycott this course due to the inept nature of the management and their unwillingness to act when their patrons was being assaulted and verbally abused, all while on their property. I cannot change who they allow to play there or the attitude of the management, but can only boycott this and let others know of my experience.

the course was not busy as it is in need of repair but very wide open and never a flat putt. The cart paths need repaving and sometimes the directions

The course is old and the clubhouse is nothing fancy but works for a good golf experience if you are new to the game.

Tough greens, but great course in excellent condition.

The course was very challenging, yet fair. Greens are perhaps unnecessarily large and difficult.

Slow pace of play but nice easy course

Easy course, rather short, not a lot of trouble spots. Greens very sloped and fast. Overall nice course to play if you have 5 hours to do so. The short holes really stack players up as many par 4s were driveable

Only holes 16, 17 & 18 were cut nice.

Horrible course conditions. Grass left on fairways & rough. Diving range was a joke.

Good Course! Great Golfnow Price!

The course is in good shape. Most of the greens are sloped from back to front and are fast, but roll true. Leave your approch shot below the hole if possible. Staff is friendly and you can't bet the Golfnow Hot Deal Price.

Nice course, slow play

This course is actually pretty nice and hilly, with wide fairways but challenging greens. Would have given a higher rating but it took 5 hours to play 18 (2 of us) and part of the reason is because they don't have a ranger to speed up the slowpokes.

Not a flat green on the course - almost sadist...

Lots of up and down, little ball-sucking ponds where you'd least want them. Some fairly narrow fairways, trees requiring straight shots. Did I mention slopes on the greens? Brutal!! But a fun and challenging course which is amazing value for the money.

This course has some challenging holes

This course has some challenging holes .... Then there's the Monster to look forward to (Brea Burn's signature hole 13). for early spring the course is fairly dry, the fairways mowed and the greens ... well the greens are what they are. Better shape than most. Fun to play, won't get board.
