Nice Course

Pace of play a little slow. Pretty nice layout. A lot of trees. Some of the greens are fairly tricked up. You need to stay below the hole on approach shots or you will end up three putting.

Browns Lake Golf Course

The course was on the dry side and on a few tee boxes there was no grass. Otherwise, the course was in decent shape. Stopped at the turn to get a brat and was told they weren't ready. Lunchtime and they aren't ready? The carts top rattled so loud it was unnerving. Seems like a little maintenance needs to be done on and off the course,

Nostalgic, good value

Always enjoy playing here, the place has a nostalgic feel to it. Layout is from an earlier era of the game of golf, keep your head up and pay attention to people yelling four. Greens can be tough, small but very sloped. Fairways narrow and lined with mature trees, hitting straight is more important than distance here. The crew does not a nice job keeping this place up.

Good Spring Rates

Did a Hot Deal so cost with a cart was not much more than a $1 a hole. Their Spring rate are very reasonable too. There was some visible work on the course but it did not interfere with play. It may be the reason some holes had the same spot for all the tees, white, gold and red. A little different layout with par 35 Front Nine and par 37 Back Nine.

Room to roam

Plenty of trees but easy to play many holes from multiple fairways with a hook or slice off the tee. Cart girl showed up three times during round.....perfect! Greens were a bit slow.

no time for football

with sun and 80 degree temps, you won't find me watching the Pack.
great time to golf, have the course to your self and $20.00 for a round as long as you brought a child's toy for donation. Nice course for a county course. could use some renovations to keep up with the other local courses. all in all, it's a fun course for a good price.

Brown's Lake

The coarse was in very nice shape, the greens were in great shape, on the fast side and rolled very true. The only thing I could see that needed improvement was some of the holes info signs were either broken or missing and needed to be replaced. Otherwise the course was in real nice shape and for the price we payed it was fantastic. May play again before the season is over.

The fairways were in terrible shape. I also did not like the layout of the course. Some tee boxes were right on top of eachother. Very poor design.

Disappointed

I've played Brown's Lake a couple times before and have never seen the course in as poor of condition as it was yesterday. The fairways did not have a lot of grass on them and a lot of the grass was not cut to the same level.

disappointed

The pro shop bathrooms were dirty as well as the bathroom on course.
The signage indicating hole number and details were missing or broken on numerous holes and it appeared that the tee box area hadn't been cleaned in a while.
When we came around on the turn my husband wanted to grab a hot dog but there not any on the grill and to ensure that we kept up we could not wait.
The greens were in rough shape

The course is OK

I think this course should have been about $20-$25 on GolfNow. I will not play this course again for $43. We did not have any issues with the course but believe it is over priced compared to the prices we have paid for other courses.
