Great layout that needs a little more TLC
Great layout, would be so much better if people fixed their ball marks and the fairways were a little firmer (clearly they had some rain) and better groomed.
I would come back here to play it again and hope that the management puts forth the effort to let this layout shine like it should.
Great course
Play this course weekly. One of my favorite designed courses. Only issue is greens could be a little better
Muggy Day Muggy Course
Wife and I played @ 96 degrees and had just rained heavily the night before. Course was soggy on at least 9 of the holes (playing in the mud - had not drained well) and on many other holes had cart path only signs due to overseeding. Made for a long day and miserable mess. Also saw numerous tee boxes and other areas with huge crabgrass growing, and a load of rocks in sand trap in front of # 18? We've played the course dozens of times over the years, but grounds need more attention. We've always thought a nice course for the change, you can usually score well, and at a fair price.. . .
Nice course
Only played the front 9. Greens were the only downside, they were a little rough. Overall nice course and friendly staff. I would definitely play again.
Browning out
Course has seen big changes due to hot weather. Fairways are brown and hard. Lack of grass was a challenge. Tee boxes are worn out. Greens were great and fast. The course was perfect a month ago. The staff is friendly and professional.
Course is coming in nicely
I play here 10-15 times a year...course is is good shape and the 18th green has recovered nicely. Play after 4 for $34 is a deal!!
I like this course
The only negative thing I will say is that one of the staff members was a jerk the last time I played here. The cart part rules were not clearly posted and he was very unprofessional in his approach and demeanor. This was the only negative experience here and usually the staff is friendly. U also can’t beat the price of a bag of practice balls ($4 for a small bag and $7 for a large). I’d play here as often as possible.
Conditions at Brikdale
Overall, course is in great shape. Best i've seen! Few tee boxes a little rough, but overall a great course.
Birkdale GC
The place was packed for Fathers Day but Mike had people moving on the clock. Well organized. The only downer was cart path only due to the rains the last few days but our foursome still enjoyed our selves. The group foursomes ahead of us were moving on a great pace. Awesome some job guys n gals. Great to see a lot of Dads outplaying with their kids.
Very nice day
Only giving 4 start things because there were a few areas under construction/ wet and roped off but with the weather we’ve had recently everything was in great condition. Friendly staff, pretty quick play time. Greens were really fast today
Slow
Nice course but pace of play was poor and the stacked groups behind you would make you feel like you were to blame
Good Course Bring Cash for Hole #5
The course was in great shape and played pretty well. Be careful not to hit your ball off the fairway on hole #5. You might end up getting harassed and extorted by an old man that lives on that hole. One of our groups shots went toward his house and he came on the course and demanded someone pay him $20 bucks for the alleged damage to his house. No one was going to give him money so he reached in and stole the key from our cart until someone payed him. The course took action against the guy but never reached out to anyone in our group to see how we were. We had to get in contact with them. If I’m paying to play a course in a golf community I’d expect a little better from the course and not expect to get harassed on the course. Fun course just bring your cash just in case you hit a bad shot on #5.
