course and greens where well maintained, didn't us the clubhouse, went on a twilight price after 4pm which was fine until around 6pm when all the crèche turned out as the club house closes around 5pm, there was several holes where there where 8 kids on the green messing around and on another tee around the same amount just whacking balls about as they pleased. would recommend a marshal after club as closed to stop this and keep the course in good condition.
would like to see a ball washer on some of the holes.
no ball washes on any holes

Fairways and tee boxes good. Greens slow, bumpy and patchy. Staff very friendly, some members were hard to talk to. People and dogs where walking on footpaths through golf course and didn't stop when you were on tee box. Dog meas on course. Not enough litter bins or a y ball washing facilities on course.

I play at Birley every week. The course is kept in top condition and the variety of holes mean a round is never boring. There?s also plenty of friendly round comparisons and banter from other golfers.

Course is the best one to play when the weather has not been kind although the greens on the par three are quite small when you consider the approach shots needed. It seems to be the busier one in the area and reflect sometimes on the pace of play because is always crowded. Not the longest course either but it is challenging. Needs a bar as pub is not very welcoming to golfers.

Pleasant surprise
First round here with my brothers and thoroughly enjoyable. The course is enough of a challenge and was in very good condition following a few days of rain. Friendly players and staff, with good etiquette shown by others on course. A steady three and one half hours for a threeball on an unfamiliar course. Will definitely play here again. The adjacent pub is very well stocked and serves decent food. They even let golfers park at the top of the car park which is very much appreciated. If you have not played here, give it a go - you may be pleasantly surprised.Reviewer Rating

Winter Beauty and Relatively Easy
This is a course which is very popular in winter as it drains so well. Some straight forward holes and a couple of challengers in 10 and a couple more on the back nine. Is busy at weekends and during peak times, but worth a visit. They don't do food but there is a very good pub right next door which does great food options. Plus although its in Sheffield its easy enough to get to in rush hour being not far off the M1.Reviewer Rating

Awesome course will be back
Been a member previously at this course. Always the best in the city for drainage and even though it was very damp and soggy it was a great experience, players repairing divots and pitchmarks. Joined as a member so will be aiming to bring that handicap down when the weather gets better too.(Round played: Nov 2019 - Score: 88 Handicap: )
