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.

The course wasn't even open

Completely dissatisfied. Booked a tee time in the morning and when we showed up at the course, the parking lot was gated shut and the course was closed. Not a good look for this course.

Good quality

The course was in very good condition, even with it being late in the year. There were plenty of leaves falling but the grounds crew had cleared the fairways and greens nicely. The greens are definitely difficult with the hard back to front sloping, so it provided a challenge for sure even if you got to the green quickly.

Underrated Course

$25 on golf now was a steal!!!

Played on a Monday at 11:30 am with no one in front of us and no one behind us! It was outstanding!

Forgot how cool and challenging the greens are here. Most are heavily tilted from back to front and you can get in a lot of trouble if you over shoot the green. Very underrated old school course.

Place is fine, but better courses for the value

Brae Burn is okay, but just too expensive for what you get. Always a very wet course, and the greens could use some work. Looks like there used to be a driving range there, but it is no more.

Sneaky long

Brae burn overall is a great course for the area. Been here numerous times. Brought a few first timers. And they were surprised with how sneakily long the course actually plays on the back 9. The greens are lightning quick and pins were on some very deceiving slopes so almost best to finish below the hole. Only negative thing I would say this time around was some of the tee boxes were pretty chewed up (white tees)

Sneaky greens

Tee to green pretty straight forward. The greens are wicked tough. Fast and undulating. Was surprised at how good they were.

Brae burn

Not fancy or anything crazy , but great value. Staff was very friendly and bathrooms were nice and clean. 100 yrs they have been around I Enjoyed the course. Couple of slow pokes slowing people down but not anyone’s fault. I liked the “monster” hole though it was cool.
