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

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.
Right price for the course
This was my first time out this year. The course played well but I think the grass could be groomed better. I was not impressed after I hit my ball in the short grass and couldn't find my ball. Over all the golf course was worth the golf now deal for $22
tee time at 12:07....was trying to beat out the thunderstorms that were to start around 4:30. What the course failed to mention was that they had a ton of high school kids out there for some kind of tournament. First 9 holes took 3 and a half hours!!! finished 13 holes by the time the thunderstorms hit. Had it been just showers would have kept playing. Course couldn't give us any kind of rain check due to use buying the "hot deal." FIRST bad experience at this course though...never had a problem like that before.
course was a bit wet as one would expect in the spring on the lower areas and the grass hasn't fully grown in. Greens were in decent shape and the course played well.
Good condition for spring
Enjoyed open and challenging layout from the black tee. Greens are large and Not flat. Had a good time.
January In michigan
Played at the end of January in Michigan. Can not knock the conditions.
Upgrades
Bunkers could use some restoration. Could use a New Clubhouse. Could use upgrade on Practice putting green. Parking lot could be resurfaced.
Good Experience
Everytime I play Brae Burn, there is something new I learn about my golf, either from the people I play with or just on my own. All have been good experiences and I recommend this course to anyone for a challenge. I challenge anyone to birdie the "Monster" par 5, the largest in Michigan. Have a good round!!!!
