Broad Run Golfers Club in West Chester, PA hosted the GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour (Philly Metro) on Saturday May 14th, 2016. Forty-eight tour players in five flights competed on a changeable weather day, which included rain showers and bright sunshine.  Broad Run Golfers Club is a Rees Jones design which opened for play (as Tattersall) in 2000. Built on an expansive 372 acres, this beautiful golf course blends in naturally with the rugged terrain of the Pennsylvania countryside. Broad Run has a wide variety of challenging holes; some play along valley floors or over ridge tops and others over open rolling land or through heavily wooded areas.
