Charge for a cart

Made reservation through Golfnow. When I went to check in, the guy wanted $28 for cart. I told him it was paid in full through Golfnow. He lowered the cart fee to $20. I will not use Golfnow any more. Hidden fees are wrong!

This course was awesome

First time playing Browns Lake with my son and it was awesome . It was a challenge with the different slopes and hills you have to take in consideration . The staff was friendly. We had the first tee time and finished in 3.5 hours . My son and I can’t wait to play this course again. He was so excited that he told his brother to get a Shamrock foursome together . Great course to walk and get your steps in!!!!

Good day to golf

Had a good time. Course was in good shape. Wasn’t happy that GolfNow wouldn’t allow me to take the 20% discount that they advertise.

Perfect weather
Walked

Browns Lake Golf Course

During COVID-19, the staff had everyone ready for play on their tee sheet while booking online. With all the rain that happened lately, the course was in surprisingly good shape. However, pace of play is NOT enforced and they were letting sometimes 3 carts out per hole without policing the new policies. For the money, it is absolutely a good value. Just beware, it could be a long day and very slow round.

Hello, Bryan. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Browns Lake Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Bang for your $$$

It’s like having a fishing hole that you don’t want your buddies to know about...
Each hole gets better and better!
Small fast greens...
I’ll be back!

Brown’s Lake

Nice course. Good value for the money. Course in good shape. Bridge out between 3rd and 4th hole was inconvenient. Lugging your clubs across the bridge not the most fun. The staff was very friendly and the free beer for the inconvenience helped. I’ll be back.

Nice day

I had played this course years ago as a club outing and remembered enjoying the round. I came back and enjoyed the round again. The course was in good shape and we were able to take separate carts. A good challenge but not too difficult.

Fun track for guys that hit the long ball

Decent track for your entry level players . Wide open on most holes. Just super over priced. Greens were real consist but pretty slow.

Staff is doing a great job.

Despite all the restrictions the manager still came out to ask about pace of play at the turn. He noticed a group was going a little slow. He made sure it was ok with us which I really appreciate. Not many courses do that!

Other courses should learn how to take care of their greens as good as the team does here.
