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

What’s going on with maintenance
Tee boxes were in terrible shape, after years of playing Brae Burn first time they were beat up.
Challenging green!
Some of green is very difficult and tricky but enjoyable.

Course was awful and a swamp, shouldn’t of even let us play with the horrible conditions all over this course! It sucked and I will never be back. Not kept up, dead grass laying all over, by far one of the worst I golfed at. Had to wait for a cart while they cleaned it because they don’t have many. Didn’t even finish the 9th hole, I was over it and left. Super disappointing! Wouldn’t recommend it.

Great course. Some really silly reviews.
Played on Father's Day and had a great time. I read a lot of reviews before going, and the adage 'don't believe everything you read' comes to mind. I know they are opinions, and is mine, but some are just silly.
Let's debunk a few. First, if you're surprised by The Monster, which is on every website and the scorecard, I'm not sure what to say. Also, it's not that difficult. The tee shot has large bailout to the right. Yes, it makes a long hole longer, but if the corner scares you it's there. I hit my drive about 260. From the whites, that put me on the middle of the fairway. I hit a five wood 210 to the other corner, and had 180 into the green. The only thing remotely unfair is the pond on the corner of the second dogleg. They don't show it on the card.
The comment on the white tees being too long is silly. If the Monster was a normal, say, 460 yard par five, the whites would be under 6000 yards. There are 5 par fours less that 350 yards.
My other favorite silly reviews were one that mentioned the view of the dump (must also be distracted by squirrels), one that complained about the grounds being in a state of disrepair (nothing could be futher than the truth. We played after a couple days of heavy rain. The course was saturated. No roll... a few plugged drives, and yet while wet, it drained so well that I never had a poor shot caused by those conditions. No huge divots or foot slips. Kudos to the grounds crew), and one that whined about fast greens and a lot of three putts from being above the hole. The old 'tricky pin placement' argument. Yes, the greens are slick. I grew up playing fast greens, so no concern there. Also, if you're paying attention, on most holes you can see the slope (most are back to front). If you can see the pin and the slope, base your yardage on being below the hole. My goodness I'm amazed at golfers that get out their range finder, figure out the distance to the flag, and then hit to that yardage. I'd rather be ten yards short chipping up hill than on the green putting down it.
The tees were in terrific shape all round. So were the fairways. OH! Another silly review comment. They need to cut back some of the trees. Likely the ones they got behind, no doubt. But if they meant from the tee then that was another falsehood. Trees are part of the deal. Golf courses are meant to make you think how and when to attack. Hit a bad drive behind trees? Take your poison, chip it in the fairway and play against making double.
My perspective is Brae Burn is getting an unfair rap. Other than the outside of clubhouse looking like it's from 1970, giving you a mistaken first impression ( it's nice inside), the course is challenging, and in great condition. I'll definitely be back.

Ok golf course when not overbooked
Course is super narrow, lots of adjacent holes so errant shots are more difficult to play when busy. Additionally, pairings are not enforced so there are just multiple doubles playing consecutively and the pace of play is terrible. When not backed up, course is fun and fairly well maintained
