Looking for a golf course that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers a serious game? Welcome to Brae Burn Golf Club, affectionately known as the “Home of the Monster.” Located just a short drive from downtown Plymouth, Michigan, this quirky, challenging course is perfect for everyone, from first-timers to seasoned pros. Let’s dive into what makes Brae Burn a must-visit spot for golfers in the area.

The “Monster” Course: A Tale of Two Tees

Brae Burn’s claim to fame is its “Monster” course—a nickname that might sound intimidating, but don’t worry, it’s more bark than bite. The course offers a variety of tees to accommodate all skill levels. If you’re new to the game or bringing along kids, the Junior/Beginner Tees stretch 2,850 yards over 18 holes. For those who want a real challenge, the standard course layout will keep you on your toes with its tricky hazards and unpredictable greens.

The course design balances fun and frustration—perfect for golfers who enjoy a good laugh after their ball lands in the bunker again. Brae Burn’s layout ensures every round is memorable, whether you’re aiming for birdies or just hoping to avoid double bogeys.

Monday Madness and Monster Cards

If you’re looking for a deal (and who isn’t?), Mondays at Brae Burn are your new best friend. Known as “Player Appreciation Days,” you can snag 18 holes with a cart for just $35 until 2 PM. And if you need some liquid courage before tackling the “Monster,” domestic draft beers are just $4 until 4 PM. It’s like happy hour met golf and decided to throw a party.

For those who can’t get enough of the greens, Brae Burn offers prepaid “Monster Cards.” For $525, you get 20 rounds with a cart included—perfect for regulars who want to save some cash while feeding their golf addiction.

Family-Friendly Vibes

Golf has long been stereotyped as an exclusive sport, but Brae Burn flips that script. The club prides itself on being beginner-friendly and welcoming to women and kids. Juniors aged 14 and under can play for just $10 when accompanied by an adult. It’s an affordable way to introduce the next generation to a game they can enjoy for life (or at least until they discover video games again).

More Than Just Golf

Let’s face it: sometimes your game isn’t going as planned (read: your ball spends more time in the water than on the fairway). Luckily, Brae Burn offers plenty of off-course amenities to keep spirits high. The clubhouse features a cozy tavern and dining area where you can grab a bite or drown your golfing sorrows in a cold drink. Free Wi-Fi means you can check your emails—or Google “how to fix my golf swing”—while enjoying some downtime.

And don’t forget to swing by the fully stocked pro shop. Whether you need new gear or just want an excuse to buy another golf hat, they’ve got you covered.

Special Events and Outings

Planning a corporate outing or charity tournament? Brae Burn makes hosting events easy. Their staff is experienced in organizing everything from small gatherings to large-scale tournaments. Plus, with its laid-back atmosphere, even non-golfers will feel comfortable joining the fun.
