Not bad for this early

Played browns Lake for a smokin' and deal of 25 bucks 18 holes with a cart. Of course was an excellent shape for this early in the year and the greens were rolling pretty good as well. Absolutely no complaints.T-boxes and fairways were very nice.

Went from Avg to very nice last couple years.

Played this course few times every summer last few years. Long drive for me, I have golfing buds that live short drive from the course. Always been a super friendly staff. They always make you feel they're glad you're there. It's an old facility with old carts. Doesn't matter because staff keeps the facility and equipment very clean and in great condition. Always get a kick out of the intelligence Wisconsin golf course owners have. Example, charge a fair price for beer and players will buy it from you Vs sneaking it on. Not sure why the course owners in the state just south can't figure that out? !! Anyway, just played here for the first time this season. Wow, the course itself has really gotten a tuneup! The conditions: fairways, tee boxes, greens and bunkers. All are much improved so hats off to the greens keeper staff. Really enjoyed the day and will be making the long drive more often. Nice work Browns Lake!

Great time at Browns Lake

This is my kind of course. I've been blowing my driver all over the place and while you need to keep watch in the other fairways it was back and forth routing which allows for consistent finding of golf balls and shooting over, under and thru trees to get back in play.
Some great elevation change for southern WI that made some holes much harder. Loved the 3rd hole par 3 over the bridge and like I was talking about 7 plays up the hill very difficult to figure out approach shot to a small green on the perch.
Conditions were great for what we payed and minimal pitch marks on the greens so kudos to the golfers who play here taking care of their place or the superintendent team working overtime to keep things with minimal divot marks.
Way to go Browns Lake, can't wait to try Ives Grove.

Great round for the money

I was paired with two other gentlemen. We all found the course a little challenging. I was more frustrated that the three-some behind us played right up on us. For most of the back nine. I do not enjoy being pushed.
I would try the course again.

good time

We teed off at 7:07 and had the course almost to our selves. The weather was prefect and we finished in less than 3 hrs. A single caught up to us and joined. The course is narrow and short on some holes also some long and blind holes so you have to take a little ride to see where to hit.

5somes?!?

Decent course, not a $45 course. And they let, or didn’t police, multiple 5somes in front of me and my friend on a Saturday morning. Nearly 5 hours to play. Completely unacceptable.
