Birkdale Golf Club

First time playing here and won’t be the last the staff were friendly and appreciative. The course was in good shape and fun to play looking forward to playing it again

It's not a bad course, and the greens were in pretty great shape. The fairways had some pretty rough spots and even bare spots and the cart path is in really bad shape in some areas. Also, please adjust the governors on the golf carts. I could walk faster than those things. Overall, not bad and I'm sure I'll be back to play again, but not at the top of my list of courses in the area.

Was a nice little course. Only played the back 9, but it was nicely nestled into a community. No switchback holes, which was nice. Good value for the price! Would go back.

Fair Challenge when playing from the appropriate tees.

Little pricey but the course was in very good shape.

Course is in decent shape, but pace of play has always been an issue. Prices have gone up on everything. For the offering there are a few other courses that are a better bang for your buck.

I booked the wrong location (same course name) and so the course charged my credit card a $220 cancellation fee. They just be hard up for money at the moment. Petty. I guess they’ve never made a mistake.

Great scenery, smooth greens, even the carts ride smoothly. No complaints, couldn’t ask for better golf.

For the money this course is always decent. Fairways were a little long and furry, rough is inconsistent. Greens were good though, and overall it was an enjoyable round

My group played Birkdale about 6-8months ago and “swore” we wouldn’t play it again ever, because the conditions were so bad. Everything from the tees with no grass, to the fairways with more bald areas than Charles Barkley’s head, to the greens with so many unrepaired ball marks that every putt was an exercise in futility, it was a complete disaster.

Then a friend said he played there in April and things had really changed. So reluctantly we went to see for ourselves and was extremely surprised in how much better the conditions are now. Tee boxes with new sod, fairways with cut and trimmed grass and redone greens with (we believe) a different grass that holds up excellently to the wear and tear of the heavy play that Birkdale gets. Major KUDOS to the greens keeper and his/her staff for the effort in pulling a great layout like Birkdale from the craphole it had become to being one of the best in Richmond We will gladly put Birkdale at the top of the list of courses to play around Richmond.

The only complaint we have is that we played behind a foursome that must have all been absolute beginners that never heard of allowing much faster groups to play through. We waited on EVERY SINGLE SHOT for all 18 holes. A Marshall would have helped but alas none were around.

Course is in good condition, greens still a little sandy from being punched. Fairways and tee boxes are very nice right now

This is a great run course. Nice range to warm up. Green fairways at the end of winter when others are still brown. Greens had recently been worked but should be great in a couple of weeks. We will go back every chance we get.
