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.

Tough greens, but great course in excellent condition.

The course was very challenging, yet fair. Greens are perhaps unnecessarily large and difficult.

Slow pace of play but nice easy course

Easy course, rather short, not a lot of trouble spots. Greens very sloped and fast. Overall nice course to play if you have 5 hours to do so. The short holes really stack players up as many par 4s were driveable

Only holes 16, 17 & 18 were cut nice.

Horrible course conditions. Grass left on fairways & rough. Diving range was a joke.

Good Course! Great Golfnow Price!

The course is in good shape. Most of the greens are sloped from back to front and are fast, but roll true. Leave your approch shot below the hole if possible. Staff is friendly and you can't bet the Golfnow Hot Deal Price.

Nice course, slow play

This course is actually pretty nice and hilly, with wide fairways but challenging greens. Would have given a higher rating but it took 5 hours to play 18 (2 of us) and part of the reason is because they don't have a ranger to speed up the slowpokes.

Not a flat green on the course - almost sadist...

Lots of up and down, little ball-sucking ponds where you'd least want them. Some fairly narrow fairways, trees requiring straight shots. Did I mention slopes on the greens? Brutal!! But a fun and challenging course which is amazing value for the money.

This course was nice and open

This is a great course for beginners because of how open it is yet the greens will challenge your putting abilities.

This course has some challenging holes

This course has some challenging holes .... Then there's the Monster to look forward to (Brea Burn's signature hole 13). for early spring the course is fairly dry, the fairways mowed and the greens ... well the greens are what they are. Better shape than most. Fun to play, won't get board.

COURSE NICELY LAID OUT-REQUIRES LOTS OF WEDGE SHOTS

BRAE BURN HAS BEEN A LOCAL FAVORITE. THE COST IS VERY REASONABLE, THE CONDITION IS ALMOST ALWAYS GOOD TO EXCELLENT AND THE STAFF MAKES YOU FEEL WELCOME.

Looks like it was a very nice course at one time

At one time it looks like it was a very nice course with all the hills and elevation changes. But it looks like over time they have cut the maintenance back.The course seems to lack maintenance. You can tell that the hot summer took it's toll on the course. Other courses seemed to have recovered from the hot dry summer Brae Burn still has lots of brown spots or spots of dead grass.

Good value

Fairways are hard. Ball rolled a ton. Helped my score. Greens were aerated but not with huge holes like on some courses.
