Birkdale Golf Club

Course was super wet due to watering for overseeding. Cart paths only because of this but no mention of this when tee time was made.

green is not good.

I never seen marshalls

There were 5 groups in one hole.

Waiting for avg 7mins to get tee box

Pros:

Good to Very Good Course Conditions mid-September.

Great design and 30 years of maturation. Nice Practice Area.

Longest par 3's in Richmond. (From the tips)

Lyberty at the front desk is friendly & wonderful!

(The dude she works with not so much.)

Cons:

Cart paths are tree root nightmares after 30 years.

Driving Range grasses are bare/weedy on the center stalls.

14th green needs a re-sod.

Overall:

Fix the Cons and more good players will come here over Magnolia and Viniterra.

Course is in good shape. The greens are not great - but people don’t repair their ball marks.

Nise course but currently the greens are not the best but playable.

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.

Play this course weekly. One of my favorite designed courses. Only issue is greens could be a little better

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.. . .

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.

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.

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!!

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.
