Brown's Run Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Brown's Run Country Club in Middletown offers a championship layout that stretches to just over 6,830 yards. The team of William and Brian Gordon, brothers who have designed more than 85 golf courses all over the U.S., designed Brown's Run in 1958. It has a classic layout that is gentle enough for beginners, but it is an enjoyable round no matter what skill level. There are a few strategically placed sand traps throughout the golf course, which make up for the absence of water. The design is pretty straightforward although there are a few slight doglegs to watch out for. In addition to the challenging but playable design, the course boasts some of the finest fairways and greens in the area. Brown's Run also offers other amenities including an Olympic-size pool and four lighted tennis courts.

Good course and kind staff
The course condition was great. The staff was very kind. I will definitely come back.
Strongly recommend!!
Nice Course BUT Overpriced
The course has definitely gotten better since the new ownership took over. Pace of play is always fantastic here, and it’s very peaceful. The rates are pretty steep for what you get, and the memberships are WAY out of line with other options in the area. The club would boost their membership level if they rolled out a more realistic price point, which would in turn generate more revenue.
Great course if you don’t like water hazards
Really enjoyed this course for the second time. Greens, fairways., and tee boxes all in great shape.
Looking forward to playing it better next time.
In Beautiful shape
Loved this course. Very fair, no water to hit over, greens and fairways in great shape for October..I plan on going back there soon if the weather stays nice.
In Great shape !
They have been watering and you could sure tell it.!
Course was in the best condition. Greens and fairways very nice. I will be back. Course was a fun one to play. Nice layout. Be sure to drop your clubs on the rack. It’s a long way to carry them from the parking. No carts allowed in lot.
Sunday Play
This is my second time playing here and it has made its way into my rotation of places to play. The staff (owner I believe) is as nice and accommodating as can be considering we had 2 of 7 golfers back out last minute. This course is $55 on this past Sunday, $7 more than a course closer to me. I would gladly pass over the $48 course for the conditions at Brown's Run.
Brown's Run Getting Better
We have played Brown's Run a lot in the past but this was only time in 2022. Course was green and lush with few damp or dried out spots. The green, especially par 3s, were marked up quite a bit and the speed was moderately slow. The traps were very thin and hard packed mostly ... stay out of the traps. We caught a great day and the pace of play was 3.5 hrs for our threesome. We had to go around two couples on #10 and then we sped up. I would recommend Brown's Run on a dry day .... not sure how some of the fairways will drain on a rainy day.
Brown’s Run
First time playing here. Fairways are in good shape. Possibly even a bit overwatered. They were a bit squishy when I played and there had not been rain in at least the past 24 hours. I had a drive that plugged in the fairway and another 5-6 that were within a yard of where they landed. Site lines from the tee box feel off, feels like the tees are aiming you in a direction that the fairway is not line up with. Rough was pretty thin in areas and far more dried out than the rest of the course. Greens held decently and rolled well. Not a bad layout for walking or riding, I was not a fan of the tee box alignment though. Hit a few drives that I thought were perfect only to find them in the rough because of the shape of the fairways and alignment of the tee box.
Browns run golf
Nice course. In good shape. Pace is always pretty fast. Only complaint bunkers could use some sand and tlc.

Middle Towns hidden gem A walkable course with risk , reward shoots the greens are in great shape . I will definitely be back
Superb Conditions
Best course conditions of anywhere I’ve played all year. Kudos to the course staff.
Nice traditional old style country club course.
First time playing it and will definitely go back if they keep conditions like that.
Very limited amenities in the club house but that was fine. Did not visit Tavern 56 so maybe that would have been a better option for food.
Very nice afternoon!
