Keep Hoping For Improvement

Birch Hills has the potential to be a major player in Orange County, unfortunately, present and past Management (quite a few changes over the last couple of years) have spent too much time and focus on the Treehouse Bar & Grill, and have completely let the actual golf course go. The course itself is in bad shape. Greens, fairways, bunkers all look terrible. Bunker sand has the ever-popular pebbles and rocks in them, Greens are covered in divots and bear spots and Fairways are probably 40% dead. Not understanding why it's so troublesome to keep a course looking good (especially an Executive Course) when other courses in the area are in excellent, top-notch condition. Even their practice putting green is bad. Bald spots. Come on, people!! Get your act together over there. Patience is running on empty. Yesterday, 3 of us finished our round, and my buddy asks "why do we keep playing here, again?" Quote, unquote.

Thank you playing Birch Hills and leaving a review. We are sorry that your experience was anything short of 5-stars. We are always working hard on the conditioning of the greens, fairways, and tee boxes. We understand the frustration about the increase in divots on the greens which has been a product of the increased play on our course during the pandemic. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and hope to see you out here in the future.

Disappointing

I've played here many times. The course condition is VERY poor, especially the front nine. I'm not sure whether the change in ownership has anything to do with it, but the management needs to dedicate money and manpower to maintenance. The tee sheet is full, there should be money to address the condition issues.

It is a fun, good value course....but sadly not now.

Great Learners Course

My wife has just picked up the game and this is our 3rd or 4th time to this course.

It is 18 holes which is nice and mostly shorter holes which is helpful for her.

Greens are nice but would be better if people would fix their ball marks, c'mon people it is not that hard to help a nice course stay in good condition.

Staff here is A1 and always nice and friendly.

Highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a nice change of pace and a place where you can get 18 in in less than 3 hours
