Average track

Played for the first time - nothing special, some nice holes with a few water hazards to contend with. Was getting boggy despite nominal rain, would assume the course suffers badly in the wet weather.

Excellent value course

As a previous member to this course, I have a great fondness! After a 5 year break, the course was so enjoyable to play with fantastic greens. Birchwood are improving drainage on several holes which show a golf club always moving forward! Good value for money too!

Fantastic course but very challenging

I play off of 19, right-hander with a natural fade and this course is the most difficult I've ever played (even more so than Royal Birkdale).
I drive on average 260, but where my drive carries too Birchwood have ditches and bunkers throughout the course. If you try to go for it and clear these hazards and the fade kicks in, then the trees/motorway on the right-hand side take your ball. In hingsight, I should have layed up more and attempted bigger second shots, but thoroughly enjoyed the challenge - will be back!

Expected better....

Played Birchwood today on a deal. Overall I was a little disappointed. A decent layout, but the fairways were very poor, and were long enough to be light rough. The bunkers need sorting out, tee boxes need cutting. Green's good though. Friendly staff.

Rough ride

Booked this couple weeks back, looking forward to a dry afternoon at a local course (never played before) £17.50 pp. Big signs on way in £750 membership for the year so expected a really good knock. Green where decent but that’s about it, fairways the length of most decent clubs rough, and the rough barely playable for the average golfer, put it this way if it went slightly off target it was covered by grass. Areas around the green should be fairway length, they can obviously produce it around the greeen so why aren’t fairways cut the same? Baffling, frustrated from hole 1 onwards.

Great course - superb greens

Played Birchwood for the first time on 14/10/2017. Despite the horrible conditions generally it was a very enjoyable experience as the course was nearly empty meaning no wait times at all.

I found it pretty challenging but very fair, however due to the weather our group would lose balls hit onto fairways. I can't remember a bad hole though and would love to play here again when it dries out a bit. I thought the 11th that a previous reviewer didn't like was a tremendous hole and really brought out my best golf to score par

The greens deserve a special mention, they were in impeccable condition for this time of year - it must have been 8 or 9 holes before I even saw as much as a stray leaf on one.

Very friendly pro that gave us some good advice and it's an all round nice set up with some decent looking practice facilities too - although we didn't use them ourselves

Overall I would definitely come back here, it's easy to get to with plenty of parking and is well worth the green fee
