Birkdale Golf Club

Fairways are mostly hard dirt with some green areas. They don't take care of it much. Very dry.

Really enjoyed the pace or play and friendly staff. Course still needs a few more weeks before all the Bermuda grass comes into bloom, but overall the course is in great shape.

Greens were punched and sanded which made putting problematic. Clubhouse bar was closed for repairs. Nice layout and good condition besides the greens.

One thing Birkdale has always done poor is schedule tee times way too close together. We’ve experienced a problem like this last time we played too. We had a 1:04 tee time and didn’t tee off until 1:40 bc of the line of people waiting. Despite this they were still letting walkups play with no tee time! It took our twosome 5.5 hours to play 18 and we were consistently waiting on every hole.

Then when you get on the course they had recently done work in the green and they were incredibly sandy. Way more than normal for a course sanding the greens. It was like putting out of the bunker.

I used to love playing Birkdale but not sure I’ll be back for a while after this experience.

1st, it's still Winter and yet they are over seeding, a good thing. 2nd, they have been "Fluffing" the Traps some it's not hard pan. If you walk expect 4.5 to 5 mile walk, it a long way from greens to next Tee on all holes. Fantastic Course and I'm glad I live nearby

Only place I could find for a reasonable price of $35

Conditions were fantastic: tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were clean and the greens were consistent

There are a few holes that have some drainage issues so there were some wet spots and few holes were cartpath only, but for winter golf, it is in really good shape. The staff is incredibly friendly and the course is a good track. Worth the price. Worth the time.

This course was in good shape for this time of year. The practice area is great and the staff could not be more friendly. The course has a mix of some hard holes and some that are easy there are par fives that are reachable in two but some fairways are narrow with out of bounds so you have to decide whether to take driver or go with a more controllable club. Greens are firm and fast so landing where you have a uphill putt or chip is needed. There was a drink cart lady with all kinds of beverages both alcoholic and nonalcoholic , on a Thursday that is rare around here. Overall I really enjoyed my round and look forward to playing again.

Overall a nice round. Greens rolled super smooth and we in good shape. Fairways were good for February as well. Luckily didn’t end up in any green side bunkers, but they all looked really nice.

One negative was the tee boxes were in really bad shape. Couple times I teed my ball up outside of the markers because there was no good place at all

Course was in great shape for the dead of winter. Great bang for the buck on hot deal!

Bad course conditions but fun course should be a lower price point with the state of course now. Went out at 12:30 and alone moved through 18 without a delay for anyone ahead. So good there… weekday
