Birch Hills Golf Course

Great round challenges your short game. Staff very helpful and cordial.

Birch Hills golf course is still there. However growing up playing it, along with Imperial G.C., I was expecting to see the course that was there 20-30 years ago... only better. Unfortunately that isn't the case.

It's a nice little course tucked in tightly between the streets, homes and shops but it is now basically a pitch-n-put. The longer par 4 holes no longer exist and some of the shorter par 3 holes are now less than 90 yards.

Hats off to the grounds crew. The green conditions were impeccable and beautifully kept up.

The driving range is still there and rotates from mats to grass which is nice. The clubhouse is quaint though it serves as the pro shop and starter as well.

It's a pretty little course but for that amount of money you could play a few rounds at Lake Forest Golf and Practice Center and see the same caliber of difficulty and water.

Excellent challenge for beginners and good golfers. Very nice course

Birch Hills is a fun executive course that challenges your "100 yd and in" shots. The staff was excellent and the course was in solid shape. It was also a grwt surprise to discover that juniors were free (not sure if this is a limited time promo). The only drawback was the threesome in front was excessively slow; no ready golf there. They were two holes behind and did not seem to care at all. However, the rest of our experience was fantastic. We will be back.

I played Birch Hills for the first time. It's a very short track. All Par 3's with four Par 4's its fun and quick and a great course for not so much money. It's a great place to enjoy a drink a cigar and hang out with your friends.

Greens and fairways are in great shape.

Back nine is a lot longer and harder; although two of the three par fours are driveable; and there is water to worry about.

Bring a sandwich, the new clubhouse is not done yet.

I golf 3 times a week, a different group, and different courses each time. Birch Hills is lacking in everyway; service, they have a bunch of kids that do not know the meaning of the term ‘Gentleman’s Game’ and the tradition and service that comes with the game of golf. They should be selling hot dogs from a cart their service is so bad. There is no clubhouse at the moment (building one), so you check in at a trailer next to another trailer with bathrooms. The 4 times that I have been there, the driving range is always off mats… however, they have lights to practice a bit later. The course; the ground is so hard at the tee off boxes that you have to step on your tee to get it in to the ground. The greens are horrible, littered with everything from eucalyptus tree leaves, geese droppings, and these little hard things that make your ball shoot in a different direction if you hit one. The top of the water ponds are covered in green algae, so if you do lose a ball in the water, you will not be able to even see it to recover it. A few of the fairways on the later par 4’s have mud-ridden cart tire tracks that are sunk in… don’t hit your ball there!

Look, I know most golf courses have their downfalls and are not perfect, but Birch Hills Golf Course does not even fall under this category.

Great place to improve accuracy/short game.

The course is maturing nicely! Tee boxes were the worst part of the course. Fairways and rough are above average. Bunkers were a little rocky but not too bad. Greens were in great shape other than the many ball marks. The layout is awesome especially for if you really want to dial in your wedges or are a beginner. Driving range is also very nice with mats and grass. The clubhouse is almost done being built, but looks like its going to be really nice. With a couple condition improvements and a completed club house this could be a really amazing course.

This is among the best short courses you can play. A majority of the par 3s are at varying wedge distances providing an excellent opportunity to test your short game. Greens are in very good condition, faster than one would expect and with considerable slope and undulations. Played early on 4th of July in 2 1/2 hours

Great for beginner to novice golfers. I come here when I want to tighten up my short game. Course conditions are great, recently renovated. Overall great course! I would definitely recommend friends and family to play here.

Great course for a quick round for your short game. Included was a $15 replay which included a cart and a drink. No club house yet.

Welcome back Birch!

They have totally revamped this curse so it's work still in progress. They don't have their Club House/Pro Shop built so that's just a tad bit of a inconvenience but they still make it work as best they can.

Enjoyed the length of the course. Good for my beginning talents. 13 par 3 holes. Will play again.

Took my girlfriend to play her second round of her life. This is a great course for beginners since the course isnt very long and most of the holes are short par 3s. I found it great for working on my short game with most holes within 100 yards or so. For a public course on the weekend, I found the pace of play wasn't too bad. We finished our round just shy of four hours. One of the only gripes we had, was there wasn't a drink cart person on duty, so make sure to stock up on your drinks before you tee off!

Fun little course. A heads up about temporary greens would have been nice.

The tee boxes hard couldn't put a tee in them. The greens were in bad shape. 3 temp greens.
