Fairway are in pretty good condition. Tee boxes on the back 9 are poor. Covered with weeds and crabgrass. Several green are loaded down with sand. Ball Mark's on all of the greens most of the players dont repair the ball marks.
Birkdale 8-1-19
Nice course, friendly staff. Signage could be better, fairways are poorly marked (150 yard markers only).
Very Playable Course
Course layout was good with a variety of holes. Very playable for less accomplished golfers but some challenges included for the more accomplished golfers. In general, the bent grass greens were a little slow and some of them were a little beat up. A lot of un-repaired ball marks on may of the greens. Overall, a very enjoyable course to play and, at the discounted price, a good value for the experience. I will certainly play the course again.
Birkdale
Course okay. Tee boxes just so so from the Whites. Greens were really beat up. Fairway okay in spots, other area sparse grass.
For $22.00, the price was right!
DRIER AND BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Considering the 2-3 inches of rain in the past 3 days, the course was in great condition. There were wet areas on some fairways, but they were few and far between. We did not see any traps with standing water and the grass over most of the tees, fairways and rough had even been cut recently. The greens are in good-to-great shape. Had expected much wetter or “sloppy” conditions and was pleasantly surprised !!
Rainy Wet Day
Course is in great shape compared to past years. Although, with todays rain, it was very wet and soggy - cart path only. Pace was decent. Glad we stuck with it, after 6 holes rain stopped.
Quality Course without breaking the bank
This course has really improved over the past few years! Nice fairways and greens though people still aren’t consistently fixing their divots on the green. Nice, good price, highly recommend and thinking about being a member!
Friendly Course
Birkdale is a player friendly course for mid handicappers, but the back tees present a challenge to better golfers.
I definitely recommend this course for players of all skill levels.
Course renewed...finally
I used to play Birkdale 2004-2006 but it was always water-logged due to the clay soil. The problem has finally been remediated and this was definitely the most enjoyable experience I've had on this course. The greens were in excellent shape and the green fees were very reasonable. I'll be back.
Good public course
Good public course in the area. Took about 4 hours to complete round on a Saturday morning ... first time and didn’t like that they didn’t have a map of the course so I was hitting blind shots without distances off the tee. Value was decent and is even cheaper in the afternoon
Good Lauout
The course was in good shape and the greens were running also in good condition. The pace of play was slow for the day I played because there were a group of 5 players in front of me and some were hitting two balls at certain times slowing up the pace. There should be a Marshall in the course to monitor things like that and pace of play. Overall it’s a good course and I plan to play here more.
Course played well was in pretty good shape had some areas being reseeded but didn’t affect the play
Birkdale Golf experience
For the GolfNow discount, Birkdale was a bargain. solid course, conditions were fine.
Coming back to life
Birkdale is finally starting to look good again. I used to play here all of the time many years ago and then stopped when it fell into disrepair. Under new management, this course is thankfully coming back to life. The fairways and tee boxes were recently overseeded and are looking great. Greens are in much better shape. Staff was great and they had a bevy cart making rounds. I will definitely be back many more times if they keep up this maintenance.
