Secluded
Barren River is holding up well through the summer. We always enjoy playing there. The course can be challenging and there is a premium on keeping it in the fairway on the back 9.
Better than average
Play here several times a year, but first round of 2021 due to knee surgery.
Course is green right now. Looks good.
Always be aware of the rough as the Bermuda grass will make you wish you weren’t there… if you can find your ball.
Sand traps need work. More sand and fewer rocks would be good.
Enough of the negative.
Challenging and scenic layout with a couple of holes by the lake and marina.
Make your strokes on the front nine. The back can be tough.
New carts this year.
Worth the drive if you’re in the area.
Scenic Course
Course was in excellent shape! Greens rolled really well! Fairways were manicured and very plush!
Course is in great shape
Great experience at BRL. Course is in the best shape in recent memory. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We will be back very soon!
Hidden gem in the woods
Absolutely beautiful, well kept course tucked away in the woods. Hidden gem for sure. The staff is wonderful, the course was really fun with the elevation change and hole diversity. Some of the holes are right on the lake. I can’t describe enough just how beautiful this course is and pictures do not do it justice. Definitely check this place out.
Tough and challenging
The course was in great shape compared to when I played it last fall.
The layout is very challenging with the rolling fairways and doglegs but I like challenging
Greens were a little sore than I’m used to but very consistent so easy to adjust to.
Has some very scenic and holes and friendly deer.
Tee boxes could be better but I’ve played worse
Good, challenging course.
Wish they had a typical driving range. They have one, but you provide your own balls and shag yourself after practicing. They do have a "warm up" area with a net just off the first tee box, but it's just not the same. All in all, for the money it's a good, challenging course. Fairways and greens were in good shape, greens speed was perfect - for my liking anyways.
State park course
Always love playing barren state park,
It’s early and the fairways haven’t come in yet but it will get there. Great layout with some challenging holes!!
Definitely my favorite
The Staff is very Friendly I enjoyed the course very much the pace fantastic only downside it’s a little far from my home but I still enjoy going when I can.
Plugged
Greens were just plugged and almost unplayable! Rest of the course was average.
