It’s okay
Pro shop staff and starter were friendly and courteous. Pace of play was terrible and need a marshal to keep the pace going . Front 9 fairways and greens were average condition.
Thank you for coming out! DId you have a favorite hole out here?
Cheap, slow and very slow
Cheap costs to play, cheap fairway appearance, slow greens and even slower pace of play.

I would never play this course again, nor would I recommend it. Right from the start, it was a bad experience: One person checking in many people (slowly); no course starter (confusion everywhere); and the course was in considerably poor condition.

Birch Hills Review
For the money this is a fair price. I think the flags need to be a little taller to be seen from far away and a little sturdier in the hole so they aren't bending to much. Another idea perhaps is have the color of the flag in the tee box as at times cause of the sun you can't see them from far away so it would be a good idea to know where they are from the tee box. Since its just 18 more small flags the cost shouldn't be an issue. Looking forward to playing there again.
Thank you for leaving a review! We will be making an update on flagsticks very shortly. Please join our email list to stay up-to-date.
Thank you for the 4-star review! We hope we can earn that 5th star on your next visit.
Hi, We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Birch Hills Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
SLOW and nobody cares!
I can’t play slow golf. It keeps my from finding any rhythm at all. Nobody hurrying things along. Course was okay.

Do Not Play During Pandemic
Usually I love Birch Hills Golf Course, however I do not plan on coming back after my experience today. I booked a tee time for 2:10 but when we approached the tee box, there were still golfers on the green (mind you hole one is a par three & super short) and there were two other men waiting to tee off. We were told that we would have to golf with two strangers waiting to tee off. We expressed concern that we would have to golf with strangers who weren’t wearing face masks and the attendant at the first hole simply instructed us to stay six feet apart. Staying six feet apart is extremely unrealistic on a course as small as Birch Hills, where most holes are par three, especially on the small putting greens. I don’t think there are even six feet between the male and female tee off boxes. I have never been paired with a random twosome in my eleven years golfing here and to do that during a global pandemic is just unsafe. They also have no requirements to wear face masks on the course despite pairing strangers together. My friend, who I was golfing with, has an autoimmune disease and can’t risk taking this pandemic lightly. They are only spacing tee times EIGHT MINUTES apart. That is ridiculous. I respect their need to make money, especially considering they were closed for a long time due to renovations, but you won’t even enjoy your game of golf stacked back to back like that. I also understand people haven’t been able to golf for months but it doesn’t excuse packing as many tee times into a single day as you can. The course was absolutely packed with people not wearing masks and playing extremely close together. I would not book a tee time if you are at all worried about getting sick because they are not practicing safe social distancing. In my opinion they should be spacing tee times a minimum of 15 minutes apart to account for enjoyment of the game so you can take your time and not be rushed and also for the safety of golfers. The man in the pro shop told us that they can’t enforce face mask rules because the city of Brea doesn’t require them. I honestly have to laugh because while it is a public golf course it is still private property. If you can enforce a dress code, you can enforce a face mask rule. The man told me I was “entitled to my opinion.” Ultimately the attendants were rude but they probably have already heard this from others and are over it! At least they gave us a refund. I would be willing to pay a premium price to golf, in order to support that course and allow them to take measures to make it safer like spacing out tee times. If you’re at all worried about the virus do not go here.

Thank you for leaving a review, FroyD. We understand that pace of play on some days does slow down a little bit. We do have marshalls out there trying to keep groups on time. We will make sure we keep play moving in the future so we may earn those last two stars!
