What the club says: Bird Hills is set in Berkshire's picturesque countryside with open fairways, plenty of water hazards and well placed bunkers. The par 72 course is carefully designed to provide an enjoyable round of golf for every level of golfer.

The main clubhouse has a well stocked shop (American Golf) and a fantastic resturant and bar providing you with meals and bar snacks at all times.

Most Helpful Review

Good course however I was abused by a green keeper for hitting a poor shot because it meant longer for him to wait even though he called me through. The green staff seem to want no golfers and are very rude and abrupt. - Aug 1 2013

First time here since the heatwave begun. Greens in great condition, fairways baked but we all love a long running drive right? For £15:50 for an early tee time, I can find no fault with this particular visit. Except hole 16, I cannot get par on that hole, which gives me a reason to come back!

Course in good nick and playing well. Open, so not too much trouble to be found. Greens were more receptive than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. Well looked after in the clubhouse pre and post round. Good value too.

Bird Hills, Berkshires' finest pay and play
Great course. Wide generous fairways and good greens. some tee-boxes could do with flattening out, but not a problem really. The rough is severe in places, but if you don't keep it on the faiirways or semi-rough then expect a lost ball or two. Some great holes, 9th, 11th and 16th are great holes both visually and to play. Give Bird Hills a try, you will enjoy it.

Very disappointing
I stopped playing this course a year ago because of the ruidiculous length of the rough just a yard off the fairway. They seemed to have rectified the problem but today it was back to the old issue. The first cut, when there was one, was 2" - 3" long and beyond that was over 6". The 18th fairway looked more like rough waith patches where the grass was over 4" long. Spent as much time looking for balls as playing golf. Our group consisted of decent players with handicaps of 12 and 15 and even they were dismayed. This wasn't enjoyable and I won't be returning. Shame as it's a good looking course.

Very boggy fairways.
I have played this course a few times in the summer months and really enjoyed it. However, I didn’t realise how boggy it is in the winter, that is why I only gave it a fair rating. Considering the fairways are so bad the greens were excellent. Didn’t try the facilities as we had spent too long looking for plugged balls and wanted to get home before the rush hour. The starter and green keeper were very friendly.

waste of a day and money
When we arrived just before 8 am course was closed and remained closed until 10am a green staff took water off greens. Played off forward temp tees. Sorry they were just teem markers in the rough and most thoroughly mudded up from previous day. course was sodden with balls plugging. Most of the greens were bobbly with loads of dead grass where I guess pitch marks haven't been repaired. If wasn't for the lack of an alternative course within distance that the society could reached in time we wouldn't have started... Shame on the management for not keeping the course CLOSED you money grabbing !*$?*£&!!
