Birkdale Golf Club

Booked round on golf now when got to course found out path only because of overseeding but didn’t see any seed on course. The guy said it was online but I do see the alert. Would not give refund because paid online. Pace of play was terrible past one group but got stuck behind another. Course was in terrible shape. Only played nine and got the heck out of there.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Course was in generally good shape with some wet spots here and there (not their fault). Most holes were not affected. The cart paths are fairly bumpy from roots growing under. Seems the greens are different speeds but that may be the type of grass or just drying out over the day. Greens were fine overall. Solid 4 star course. Several courses closer to me but it is worth a longer drive to play here.

Not a lot of green to play with on some holes, was very challenging for a beginner with a 33.5 handicap, even playing from the forward tee's. Paired up with another solo after catching up to him stuck behind a slow duo, his name was Rod he was cool as a fan. My only gripe would be asking for more water coolers, unless I missed any, I only encountered one on the turn and one around the 15th or 16th hole. I'll play here again and bring extra hydration for sure.

Birkdale golf course is in Great shade and is a better value than courses in the surrounding areas.

Mike owns it so it is his to do with what he wants, but he has ruined this course. Took all the aesthetics out, most of the bunkers and the course's defenses. All so they can have foursome after foursome, all day long every day.

50 some bunkers taken out, some holes with no hazards at all. That isn't golf. It is a shame. If you are a hacker, this is your course. If you appreciate a challenge, this is not it. At all.

World class driving range. What golfer of any skill gives a crap about that? Might as well say the clubhouse has new furniture.

And yep, I am a member. Not for much longer, I am afraid.

Greta conditions...good pace....greens rolling beautiful...my group (3) was stuck behind what looked like a playing lesson but they let us pass thru on the first part 3...started on 10 probably bc hole 9 is a better finishing hole and I agree...a fair golf challenge with lots of room everywhere for misses

First time playing here. There are several holes with temporary tees set up. A bit annoying but necessary for tee block rehabilitation. Otherwise the greens were fast and in pretty good shape. Fairways are well maintained and the sand traps were all freshly raked after overnight rain. Great value and would recommend. No marshal or starter that I saw so pace of play is going to vary greatly depending on who is on the course.

Always a decent time & I’ve been frequenting since I’ve started playing
