Broad Run Golfer's Club
About
Designed by Rees Jones, Broad Run Golfer's Club boasts one of the best layouts in the area. The course sprawls across over 370 acres of rolling hills countryside. The dramatic elevations are definitely not something you would expect from a golf course that is conveniently situated so close to downtown Philadelphia. The elevated tees feel as though they're in the clouds and mature trees frame most of the holes. There are hazards lurking throughout the golf course including swampy marshlands and tall, dense grasses that are all just waiting to swallow errant shots. It is a challenging layout no doubt but it is made more player friendly with generous fairways and Jones was also light on the bunkering. One of the most difficult and scenic holes is the par-5 15th. This hole plays uphill, featuring a blind tee shot to a plateau green surrounded by trees.

Beautiful views
Played the course for &66.00 . Great value. Course closed to a private course in condition. No water or cart beverages on course, found that bad situation. Overall a fun day.
#1 overpriced course around
This course jumped its rates to $100 due to Covid when it first started and they had to use special sanitation spray and use other measures that increased their cost. Well now that’s all in the past, they no longer give out minimal carts yet their price not only stayed….. it went up even more. $111 to play here is a complete and utter joke, they are solely getting by on location alone and being able to bend over locals cause the area is wealthier than others. There’s at least 4-5 courses above this one and none of them are over $70 to play. For $111 this should of been an immaculate course…… not even close!
pace of play
My wife and I had a 10:10 tee time and did not finish until 3:50! We were paired up with another twosome and after 9 they had enough and went to the pro shop to see if they could get their money back because of the pace of play. I had said something the turn and he did nothing to help with the situation. I feel there is no need to play a round of golf in just under 6 hours.It is a shame because it is a good golf course but because of the way things transpired at the course I will not be playing this course in the future. You pay good money to play here and the service was poor, the pro did not seem to care about the problems on the course so how is a apying customer supposed to feel.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Great course but lacking amenities for the price
The course layout and conditions are fantastic, but with price increases on a course that does not have a true driving range (balls are an extra cost), the value is not the best. At $111 it would be nice to have a small bucket to hit and water out on the course.
One of the best
Its one of the most challenging and beautiful public courses in the phila area. Greens were a little banged up from lame golfers by overall quite good.
AWESOME
One of the top public courses in eastern Pennsylvania. Every hole is picturesque and challenging!
Course has too many hills
The course has way too many Hills ! I would deem it unsafe for Senior players ! Also , it plays way too long ! I felt it was Quite difficult for a local Public course !
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Broad Run Golfer's Club!
Extremely enjoyable round
Love this layout, so fun with the elevation changes and different style holes. Only complaints are the greens were super slow and needed a cut (my round was at 11:30am) and the fairways had an enormous amount of untreated divot holes. Otherwise, love this place.
Great Time!
My son and I are casual golfers and we wanted a fun activity while he was visiting. This was perfect! Beautiful day, beautiful course and paired with two great, friendly golfers who gave us some pointers that improved our play and enjoyment.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Broad Run Golfer's Club thanks you!
Best Course in Area
This course never gets old. Played multiple times and Every time it’s a treat. We’ll maintained course, never have had a bad experience, tough rough to get out of, and fast greens. Only complaint is *sometimes* course can get backed up, but play before 9 and you shouldn’t run into it. In my general opinion, the best public course along with Wyncote in Chester County.
Good and sliw
It would have been a great day on the links except for a foursome two ahead of us that made it just shy of a five hour round.
Too much
I have played this course several times. The pricing is ridiculous!!! 121 dollars with a small bucket PLUS an additional 10 dollars to book online. It was 95 degrees and humid and no water on the course. The bunkers were full of water and mud and were not well maintained. They are the most expensive public course in the area and the only course that doesn't provide water (Pandemic BS). Pace of play is always abysmal!! Never going back!!!
Hello,

We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right and determine how we can provide a solution that makes you smile.
Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Cost Out of Line
Nice course. Very challenging. You do not want to play this course when it's cart path only.
The cost is problematic. Fee with cart is $86. There is no Friday senior rate and the senior week rate is still high. This course is anywhere from $20-40 over comparable local courses.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Broad Run Golfer's Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Golf Course in the Wrong Location
I think they placed Broad Run Golfers Club in a location where they had no right to place a golf course. Although very well maintained the course was laid out on and through a mountain. It would be impossible to walk this golf course, to say the least. If you have ever played a
P. B. Dye golf course, this is a design like his on steroids!
I love to play golf and do so as much as possible, whether I am playing well or not, but I really couldn't wait to be done playing. I'm sorry, but don't waste your time on this course.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience.
We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain.
We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Great course, slow play
Played here numerous times. Great scenic challenging course. Sub 8 handicap playing with 2 friends that only play 1-2 times a year. Got stuck behind 3some and ended up having to play a 6 hour round.
Waited on every shot. Ranger drove by numerous times during round but never was assisted in playing through or speeding up play.
Understand they may have been members, but 6 hours is ridiculous.
One of best courses in area minus the slow play.
Tough course
Course layout and conditions are very good. I do not recomend for novice golfers or people who struggle with walking hilly terrain. There is a long distance between some holes so it takes a little longer to play. For good golfers it is an excellent course, well designed and kept in great condition!
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Broad Run Golfer's Club!
