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.

Staff

One of their staff told me that he does' like people who play at Brae Burn with Golf Now voucher.

I play with my family android were frustrated with his comment. Of course, I paid a small amount of money that I suppose to pay because I took a hot deal. The staff had not professional attutude when he faced to customers even though we paid a small amount of money as a green fee compared to normal green fee.

A place in the country

I have played in a league at Brae Burn for several years and find the staff to be fine folks. The prepared food, especially the soups are great.

The course is older but not surrounded by homes so the rural atmosphere is very nice.

Solid

The course is in really good shape. Course layout is weird in spots, but no gimmick holes. Love playing 'The Monster', always fun trying to birdie the longest par 5 in Michigan (#13).

rain check policy

Paid for 18, played four holes, received rain check credit for less than nine holes because we booked with golf now. Greens were decent the rest of what we saw of the course was in bad shape.

Windy weather
Used cart

Fairways and rough were overflowing with clippings, the rough especially. It had been cut several days previously because the clippings were dried out. Looked like straw in many areas. Long straw. This excess of clippings made it easy to lose balls even in the first cut. Worse than dealing with leaves in the fall. Disappointing.

First Time Playing

Met my expectations.

First round of the year and first time playing here. Good value for the money. Booked it the night before and was the first one off the tee at 8:07. Big greens with a lot of roll downhill if you're above the cup. Grass was a bit long and hid my ball several times. Still got 18 in 3.5 hours. Not a country club but worth the trip there and the $28 bucks it cost for 18 and a cart. I'd go there again to what it around.

Overbooked

I played as a single. There was 4 carts on every hole, impossible to play through. Grass uncut, lose a ball 6ft off the fairway which also caused delays in play. Everyone was looking for their balls even after watching it land. Staff was supposed to bring me a burger out on the course, that nvr happened.

No fairways cut with an even mid rough throughout the whole course, greens were bumpy, and the course was still soaked from rain a few days before. Fun layout and may be worth playing later in the year.

Average at best conditions

This course has a lot of areas that are in serious need of repairs. Parts of the course are in good condition.....so it just really depends on where you end up!! We used Golf Now and saved a few dollars, but it was still about $5 per person for nine holes too high!!!
