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.

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.

March Golf in Michigan

The gentleman running the operation was super nice, but did have his hands full as shop pro, bartender and starter, among other tasks.

The restrooms in the clubhouse are undergoing renovation. The open restroom is unisex. My sister was not thrilled.

The cart paths are worse than any Michigan road and likely inflict a lot of damage to the aged golf carts.

Low portions of the course were either had standing water, or were soaking, sinking wet. Other than that, course conditions were decent for mid March Michigan golf. Greens were soft but rolled well. The monster #13 par 5 was fun. Course layout was enjoyable for a 15 hc golfer. Overall an okay place to play but likely others that play better.

Challenging Course

So late in the season we were a handful of golfers who ventured out. Literally 10 or so and the course conditions were partially wet. The greens were slower than usual which meant better putting! I had 30 putts which is very good for my level of play. I didn’t especially like all the ropes off areas but understand the course maintenance personnel are trying to keep carts off the fairways in low lying sections. I like this course and since it was in November(14) the conditions and weather was above “par”.

Slowwwww pace

Course in ok shape for November. Play us so so slow. The guys who play here refuse to let singles play through, very frustrating. Not good value for cost figuring in pace of play and conditions, plenty better value courses in the area.

Nice course

Course was in good shape. The club house was not in good shape. Needs work. Golf carts are needing to be replaced. They are showing their age. Restrooms were not very clean. But, the course itself was in good shape. The monster hole was an experience.

Trouble

There is trouble everywhere…every green is fast and has a TON of slope. There were a lot of very wet areas. There is water on the Monster hole just past the 2nd turn so stay left and don’t try to cut the corner unless your drive is very long and left. Tough course mainly due to the greens. If you can hit an iron 220ish that is your best bet on most of the par 4’s!
