Inn at St. John’s
About Inn at St. John’s
This unique property became a golf resort in 2006 when the former St. John's Provincial Seminary reopened as the Inn at St. John's, a boutique, four-diamond property adjacent to the 27-hole Brae Burn Golf Club. The 118-room inn features Romanesque architecture, two ballrooms with 25-foot ceilings, a two-story atrium and 22 meeting rooms. The more casual Burger Loft complements the fine dining 5ive Steakhouse and Bar. The course, dating to 1923 before a third nine was added in the 1990s, shares its site with Carl's Golfland at St. John's, one of the country's premier golf stores. There's also a covered, heated range at Carl's to bang balls year-round to prepare for your battle with "The Monster" - the nickname for the 666-yard 13th hole, the longest par 5 in the state.Facts

brae burn, plymouth, michigan
good course, just avoid playing it during the week when the leagues are playing. My partner and I abandoned playing the full 18 on the 10th. Too slow.
People were very helpful and friendly. Course was challenging. Unfortunately due to a very heavy overnight rain the course was very wet. That being said we still enjoyed the round.

Issa no from me dog
If you are in search of a pleasant golf experience on a nice golf course, do NOT come here. I’ve only been to probably 20 golf courses in my life, but this was by far the worst one I’ve ever been to. The only thing good about this course I could say is that the greens aren’t too slow and they are in decent condition. The fairways are like hitting out of light rough in most spots, and the grass in the rough isn’t grown very well. The course layout is terrible, especially the 666 yard par 5, the hole is a dog leg left off the tee and then a dog leg right into the green. If you do not play your second far enough left, you will be blocked out. Like I said before, very poor course design. I would almost have to have someone pay ME to play here. I am the type of person who can never get enough golf and will play as much as possible. At this course, I left after 9 holes because of how terrible the experience was. DO NOT come here if you want to golf in a nice environment. Definitely not up to par with my standards.

Greens Concerns
Overall the course was in good condition for this time of the year. The only issue we had has a group were the greens and some of pin placements, due to the steepness of the greens and the wind conditions, there were many times we were unable to keep the balls close to the hole on any down hill put. the entire foursome had too many 3 putts, which inflated our scores and slowed down the pace of play.

Solid late season round
Late season conditions but the course was still well kept. What would you expect from late October in Michigan.
Hi Justin, thank you for the excellent 4-star review! #BraeBurnGolfClub
Staff
Guy at front desk. Not a people person at all. Not the 1st time. But I like the course, so I gave it another shot. Tall skinny guy that wears his glasses on his nose. Bad manners to a customer. At least this was my experience.
Nice Course
Brae Burn is a nice course with Fair Pricing and it's only a 1/2 hr drive from Home. Course is always in good shape and can usually get Ttime. It does have some Tricky Greens especially the MONSTER!
Great staff. Nice Lon clean course
A rainy finish but Brett at the pro
Shop was very helpful and the beers were cold. Made The trip worth while even from Taylor :-) Nice long course. Open fairways.
Good value
Great value - great pace - course was in excellent shape
Poor greens
This course makes a big deal over its 666 yard par 5. Maybe they should spend time and money fixing their greens. Driving range is short, you can only use your short irons. Staff was friendly
Rain soaked
Because we booked through GolfNow we were required to play in the rain. Despite that though, the course was receptive to shots and the greens were not effected by the rain at all. Best round of my life and great time.
Gimmick-y
Course is cut into the side of a bunch of hills. Too many blind tee and second shots. Not a flat green out there and unnecessary penalties, i.e. gorse coverd mounds right in front of a 200+ yard par 3. “The Monster” is surprisingly playable, but also unnecessarily penalizing.
