philip ,,,,if u do go ,small tip for you, may help , on hole one ,you can not see the flag ? , tee off over water to the trees dead ahead about 280/330yds (about 3 hits for me) and try and stop about 20/30yds from the trees ,then its 100yds right up a small hill to the flag , then off to hole two tee over water again , its great ,enjoy it

peter, not the type of 1st tee i like blind tee shot over water to a par 5 but its good to get the easy ones out of the way 1st, sounds like they get the money back of you buying balls that you lost in water...

hi kyle, look forward to your input about the course,(ask how much the balls are )......... enjoy birchwood its a good course and always in good nick.....cheers
