One of the best courses I've played.

Top draw course and club

Fantastic course, well kept, the whole course is in great condition throughout

The greens are immaculate quick/tricky too.

The course is a credit to the groundstaffs work!

The only criticism for me was the lack of 200/150/100 stakes, although there were centred plates in the fairway, not everybody stays on the fairways!!! We were visitors so they would be a great addition for non members

Its the best course we have played up to now this year.

Return visit

I have played this course many years back and forgotten how good it really is. Although it was a little soft underfoot and the fairways had no roll at all it was still a very enjoyable course, greens were great for the time of year and the fairways and rough were in good condition and the ground staff were out cutting the rough. I will return in the summer.

Good challenge

First time playing Birchwood and wasn’t disappointed, it’s a course you have to think about placement on a lot of holes, tee boxes in good condition, fairways had been spiked the day before so not playing as they should but all to keep the course in good nick and will be great in a week or so, greens very good so all in all a very tidy well looked after course, guy in pro shop very helpful, I’m guessing he’s the pro, really enjoyed the round and impressed with the course layout, playing there again next week.

Fair Test

Great value £20 for a Friday 3pm round. Course was ok considering the hot summer has caused some damage but now 2 weeks of heavy rain.have left it very soft in places. A fair test of every golfing ability as the many ditches and ponds means you need to think your way around the course and not just whack it a far as you can.

Great course

It’s a bit pricey (£28). It also didn’t help the fact there was a 3 ball and a 2 ball in front of us who joined together to make a 5 ball, we tee’d off at 14:36 and the course was in excellent condition

Beautiful course

The course is in great condition. Plenty of hazards but also well planned out. The greens were in good conditions.

Nice warm up area with nets, chipping area and putting green.

Decent course shame needed matts wasn’t advertised pre booking

Good course quite long. But I’d say very much a summer course certain parts where very boggy and unfortunately not owning a matt (didn’t realise before booking matts where needed. Should really advertise on GolfNow or wouldn’t of booked it) otherwise fairly good layout to course and some very good pin positions. Greens were pretty good considering how wet most of the course was. Lost a few balls to plug lies and took a few minutes to find the odd ball in the middle of the fairway. We teed off at 12:44 with nobody in front of us for miles. Flew round first 12 in under 2 hours with no issues until on the 13th two women cut over (from hole adjacent) and teed off in front of us as we crossed road to play the 13th this slowed us down so much it took us another 2 hours to finish the remaining holes finishing just before darkness ensued.. slightly disappointing finish to a okay round of golf. I’d recommend this course in the summer when dry but for winter there’s quite a lot better for the £15 price we paid.. if your playing in the winter Bring your welly’s.

Deffo recommend this to anyone A++

Thank you

Shocking!!

I was really looking forward to playing this course and on arrival the pro said that they were working on some of the greens when we got there but he said they should be fine for when we got to them we’ll they weren’t we had to play on 7! Temporary Greens if that’s what you can call them it was a hole in the fairway and some of the holes you couldn’t see unless you were looking down on them overall not impressed and won’t be rushing back

Great course

We are currently in the hottest dry spell for years so as expected the course was very dey. They have taken action on the fairways to prevent long term damage to the course. The greens are in excellent condition. There are many interesting and challenging holes where local knowledge is an advantage. I really enjoyed the round and course
