Birkdale Golf Club

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!

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.

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 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

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

For the GolfNow discount, Birkdale was a bargain. solid course, conditions were fine.

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.

The day I went, the course was aerated on the front side. I didn’t know that until getting there so I played the back 9 twice.

Course was in decent shape and very crowded.

The practice green was closed.

The staff was very friendly and went over everything that was going on.

I’ll come back once more to see if it gets better but being a “new course” on GolfNow, you would think the “Aeration Advisory” should’ve been on the course info.

I’ve played Birkdale hundreds of times through the years and must admit the course conditions are the best I’ve ever seen! Dan Maples would be happy to see one of his gems being brought back to glory...keep up the good work...will be back for more!

Pretty nice variety of holes--not outside the range of the average golfer. Course is usually in good shape (although last fall it was poor).

Wish I could play it a little more--usually play there 3-4 times a year.

Played with a friend on 8/3/2015. I had heard really good things about this course and was thrilled to be able to book the desired tee time an hour before. Upon arriving, the clubhouse looked nice and had the feel of a nicer, private club than a public one.

Check in went smoothly and our discounted rate included a small bucket of range balls for $29. The driving range was very nice, along with the practice green. Things would be vastly different on the course however. The first thing we noticed was the cut grass mounds all along the many of the fairways. The greens were in pretty bad shape as well- weeds, brown patches, dirt and lots and lots of unrepaired divots (not the GC fault). Some greens were very fast and unforgiving, while some were as slow as a turtle. That made the day very frustrating for both myself and the experienced golfer with me. I don't think either one of us had a 1-putt on any green even from within 4-5 feet. It was also extremely hot, 94 degrees, and there just wasn't enough water stations along the course to help cool us down. There was also no drink cart service offered.

Overall, I can't give this course high ratings on anything other than the courtesy of the pro shop employee and I'm not sure if I'd play another round here for the rest of this season, even with a nice discount. They really need to work on those greens and other golfers really need to repair their divots here.

Very friendly golf course. Great par 3's. Well taken care of course. Very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

I think the staff are very friendly and nice...also most of the members are very friendly. .I enjoy the lay out of course... the fairways are coming back in , the greens could use some work but the atmosphere overall is great!!!! I wish the twilight started around 4...
