Changing you Website doesnt make you a better course

Starting with the positives, the greens were in good condition.
The tee boxes were awful and in need of watering even though there are sprinklers on most holes. The sprinklers have not been used for a long time
The fairway look great from a distance but are full of bare clay patches where grass will never grow. Birdhills is mainly a clay course and the fairways are alway cut too short especially in winter which carves up the fairway , thus the bald clay patches on all the fairways.
The bunkers , well some of them had little sand and others rather a lot, possibly too much
Overall really disappointed
Adding new tee off markers and changing your website does NOT make this a good golf course.
I have been playing here for years but I've finally had enough so will not be back

Played Birdhills today. The course was in appalling condition. More mud and water than grass even on the fairways.
Course totally unfit for play even for winter golf., a complete waste of money and we walked off the course after 12 rather mud clay and very watery holes.
When we mentioned this to the starter his response was that there was rain last night, as if that's a good
excuse for them keeping the course open and taking your money.
The course should have been closed due to state of the course

Never again

We've been playing at Birdhills for years. However the state of the course is terrible in places.
No tee boxes watered
Fairways (which are on clay) cut too short summer and winter
Greens 4 out of 10 at best
Marshalls on the course to speed up slow play Non existent
On the board by the starters hut which outlines rules of the course , they forgot to add obey the etiquette of gof (especially slow play when there nobody in front on you for 4 holes.
I used to like this course but its definitely on my list of courses not to visit

Course in good condition

I was not expecting the course to be in such good condition after the weeks of wet weather, but it was in very good nick. You can see changes that the green keepers have made and there are some new bunkers also under construction which will be interesting. A very enjoyable round

Nice course with a good mixture of challenge including unsuspecting ditches until you've played a couple of times. Greens run true. Doesn't drain that well but good in the dry weather.

In the winter months it gets very wet. In the warm weather it is really good. with excellent greens. Bunkers need some work! Driving range is good also with many bays available. The bar and food are excellent and a reasonable price also! Sometimes it is slow going with little motivation for people to get a move on! That can be frustrating!

Course was not in great condition

This is a really nice course in the summer time but this time of year, it was a challenge, a lot of fairways water logged just off the tee box and greens were not in the greatest conditions either.
Its a shame, a lovely course.

I play here regularly, usually during the week when it is better value for money. It suffers with being wet in parts and at the moment it is a boggy walk. Strangely the greens are pretty fast and in decent condition. Play was fairly slow (3 balls 4.30 hours) as the course was busy in front of us but we didn't really wait for long on tees, it was just busy. Friendly staff, good beer

Dreadful greens

The course was always dull (like many of its era and kind, it was put together 30 or so years ago on an uninspiring piece of mainly flat land and lined with avenues of quick growing leylandii spruce with the odd square pond here and there) but up until a couple of years ago, it was always in pretty good nick.
Not any more.
The greens these days are basically unplayable with OK (if grainy and carpet like) grass covering 1/2 the greens with the other half bare. I'm not exaggerating - I mean dozens of bare patches on each and every green. Meaning your putts will bobble and jump and never roll true.
The managers and course owners will say that's a result of a) Covid and b) this summer's heatwave.
Uh huh.
So why are all the other local courses not suffering with the same.
When the late Blue Mountain course had a similar dive in condition and playability, the owners halved green fees out of sheer embarrassment.
Bird Hills should do the same.
RIDICULOUSLY expensive for the dullest course in Berkshire with the worst greens I've played on in 30 years.
Avoid.
Please.
