Not Worth $20

What’s wrong:

- poor course mgt

- poor conditions

- cramped course layout

1) starter let a 6-some on ahead of us. Really? Also, course is in desperate need of at least two marshals.

2) beside general poor conditions, I’d like to highlight the green conditions. So many divots and geese poop EVERYWHERE.

3) even after the layout change, it’s still cramped. Holes are back to back and you have to watch out for getting hit from other holes.

Bottom line - play Brea Creek. Cheaper. Better.

New layout

Recent layout change makes this course run smoother in my opinion. It use to be 5 par 3s in a row to start off ranging from 80-120. Felt like it was the same club 5 times in a row. New layout breaks that up in half, and definitely flows better.

Thank you for playing Birch Hills and leaving your thoughts! Breaking up the clusters of par 3's was a big goal of ours during the rerouting. We are glad that you enjoyed your experience and we hope to see you again soon.

It’s what it is!

It’s a par 3 course. Sometimes you have beginners or bad players in front of you. Just go with it. For the money and time it’s better than most.

Clubhouse is nice and cool.

Good for the money

Course in decent shape. Greens a little slow but okay. Staff was friendly and they have a nice bar area. Pace of play was typical of a Sunday afternoon, nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of short par 3s. Good for practicing approach shots 100 and under. Overall a fun little track good for practice. Green fees are priced about right for the area.

The new layout threw me for a min.

I haven't play the course in a while because of covid-19 so the new layout was different but it was ok by me. The greens are kept up but the repair dibits campaign who be pushed. I repaired several dibets on every great.

Bad Shape

Worst shape I have ever seen this course. You can tell it is tired from the amount of play it gets and it isn't healing well. Tee to green conditions are pretty bad for a more expensive executive course. They also have rerouted the holes and it doesn't flow smooth at all anymore. Clubhouse and course staff are great but overall really disappointed and won't be back soon.

Thank you for playing Birch Hills and leaving a review. Yes, the increased play has put an additional strain on the course and that can be seen from time to time. We have been working very hard to address all trouble areas which includes our bunker renovation that is underway. We are also working on the rerouting and refining the experience of this new layout. We are in the process of putting in additional signage to ensure a smoother flow of the course. We appreciate your comments and are hard at work trying to make the best experience possible at Birch Hills. We hope you will try us again in the future to experience our changes.
