Birkdale Golf Club

I wanted to share my recent experience at Birkdale, as I believe feedback is important for improvement. I arrived for my tee time, only to find that it was overbooked and there was uncertainty about when I would actually get to play. While I appreciated the beautiful day, I was disappointed that several groups of three were allowed to tee off ahead of me, despite my reservation.

The starter was friendly, but I found the manager's demeanor to be quite unwelcoming. Unfortunately, the pace of play was extremely slow, and I had to leave after 9 holes due to the round would take over five hours.

I asked if there was any possibility of a discount since my original tee time was pushed back by an hour, but the manager seemed annoyed by my request.

Based on this experience, I would recommend considering other courses in the area. I hope my feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.

Very wet conditions and the course played really well. The greens on the front were perfect and the back.a little beat up. Enjoyed the different tee boxes - I am a senior playing with long low handicap hitters and I was able to compete.

Coors layout as well balance with a couple of difficult holes and a few easy holes if you play them right. The course is always in acceptable playing conditions. Staff is friendly, prices reasonable

Birkdale is the hidden gem. Course is in fantastic shape. Greens are great condition. Staff is friendly and pleasant to deal with. They had the food & beverage cart out today, that's was a nice bonus. It's s nice layout with a bargain price. Highly recommend

Played this course a ton. It is in good shape. The green were rolling nicely. They have obviously upped their game and it shows!

On one of the holes, there is an entire bees nest, on the side of the green. Not in a tree. Literally on a bunker and the green. Yes, there are signs that say "beware of the bees" but that's kind of hard to do if you hit your ball on top of their nest. These aren't honey bees or any bee that's super useful. They appear to be ground bees. Considering the price, it really makes no sense that they wouldn't just have the nest removed. Other than that one hole, it's a beautiful course and everything is great.
