I Recommend This Course
Good Course
Lots of par 3s with some par 4s. Nice course. Lots of bunkers some lakes. On the smaller side which makes for a fast game. Great place to practice your mid game and putting.

Greens urgently need improvement
The greens here are pretty awful - full of unrepaired pitch marks and mixed, uneven grasses.
Please get the green keepers at related nearby Brea Creek GC to take over the greens at Birch Hills. Brea Creek has such excellent quality greens, some of the finest in OC!!

Great course for the length.
Only a handful of holes over 200 yards. Fun course if you’re not wanting to play a full 4 hours or more. Greens are thin so ball rolls fast. A little patchy/bumpy at times but barely.

What is title meaning ?
It was nice and happy to play.
Only problem is too much traffic, and too far from home.

Always pleasant - greens need work
A lovely short course, a bit slow but always pleasant. The greens are in need of re-seeding in many places, and players clearly don’t always repair their pitch marks.

Fun practice course
Price is reasonable and course is fun to play. Greens take a lot of abuse and most people don’t repair ball marks on green. Fairways a bit ragged and greens could use more water.

People play too slow
Took us almost 4 hours to finish the 18 holes. Same as the regular 18 holes golf course.
I love this course and the conditions of the course. However, the par 3 courses should be finished in 3 hours.
