About
The beautiful setting of Twin Birch Golf Club in Kalkaska features stands of red pine and birch trees lining the fairways and the Boardman River, which winds its way all throughout the course. The golf course is mostly flat with the exception of a few raised greens on the back nine. The greens on the front nine are level with open fronts, inviting players to attach the flags. There are ample landing zones along the tree-lined fairways, making Twin Birch a golf course that will appeal to beginners and high handicappers but there are still challenges in store for the more advanced golfers as well. Some of the doglegs holes can be quite tricky. There are also several strategically placed bunkers lurking along some of the greensides and water comes into play on eight holes.

Love the course, nice for older people since not many hills to climb. Staff couldn't be nicer and food is great, Harry and Connie
Fun Course
Not too long. Well kept, greens rolled well, and nice staff.
twin birch a hidden gem
If you are an average golfer and sort of like to be challenged by more narrow fairways and woods then this could be your course. Not a lot of elevation changes, but some interesting water and narrow landing areas. All in all a very fun round and the food in the club house is good. Very friendly staff. New electric carts with ball and club washers mounted on both sides. The prices are extremely friendly for this area also. Even if you just walk in and play a round. Please give them a try and enjoy Northern Michigan golf at what I think is one of the better places. Like the area, it is laid back and relaxed.
Great value
This is one of the best values in NW Michigan. The fairways are a little too tight for me, but my drives are a little wild. The driving range has a good big bucket of balls for $5. On Saturday they have $1 tacos. It is just a nice time . . . a really nice time.
A great value course
Twin Birch is an excellent golf course that is laid out around the Boardman River. In addition to several over-the-river shots, there are a few ponds scattered throughout. This course is always a great value. Pace of play is usually pretty fast with 18 holes doable in just over 3 hours if you like. Most fairways are lined with woods, but the understory allows you to locate lost balls pretty easily. Overall a great course to keep in mind if you do not want to spend a whole lot of cash.
I bit disappointed
I have played this course before. Played the front 9 with a great pace. When we got to the turn there was a group of 12 players. They were allowed to sit and have lunch as a group and they were just starting the back nine when we arrived. It forced to play a 3 hour back nine or repeat playing the front 9 again. We opted to play the front 9 again.
Good day
Beautiful and mature course. Staff were very pleasant. Will go back.
beautiful with the stream thru course
Very good value for the area, not crowed,so pace of play is good. Greens are a little slow but in good shape.
Good golf
It was a great day of golf. Course is a hidden treasure
Good Value, Nice Course
Hooked up with 2 of my sons on 9/6/2015. Good value and course was set up well. It was hot, temps in the 90's and course played decently. Roughs were a bit long and getting good shots out of them was tough. Greens were a bit slow but were true.
Will play this course again, hard to beat for overall value.
This course has great greens
Great course, I think it has the best greens in the area. We played 18 in 3:20
don't play this course intil the trees are clean and has some knowledge about golf.
they pace was bad. they only a had the front nine open,
the back nine was closed. the staff didn't about golf rule s.
Nice layout to the course
Great deals at this course. Golf and dine fish fry on friday. Great staff.
Fun round. Food was awesome.
The course was challenging. Food at the turn great
Great Course ,Great Price
great Course for the money, staff very friendly and accommodating. great prices on beverages and food. a very good time
Conditions great
Fair ways n greens were asome looking to playing again soon
Beautiful course. Exceptional staff.
Went to this course with my brother who's been there many times. We took his granddaughter for her first golf experience. She was made quite welcome and the staff encouraged her by having a rental set ready and not placing restrictions on her. Well done, Twin Birch!
Additionally, the course was a great play. Challenging fairways through wooded area, but not so tough and narrow that average golfers can't enjoy it. Would definitely go again!
Great bargain
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day here. We got out early and did the 18 in 3 hours. The course is in good shape, the greens a bit slow but in good condition and it is challenging enough for most players. It is truly a bargain.
The fall colors were spectacular. The course is heavily treed and they were all turning brilliant colors. I highly recommend this place.
