Briarwood Golf Course

I have actually never written a review for a golf course before, but today’s experience will make me write them every time. People need to know when a course is truly a good place to play, and when a course is not somewhere to spend your hard earned money. I’ll keep this brief. The pro shop attendant took 20 minutes before he even came to assist myself or 6 other customers waiting. He then proceeded to charge myself and my playing partner $10 more than what was advertised online and agreed to over the phone. I wasn’t sure if we could get another tee time elsewhere today so I begrudgingly paid. I then called Hinckley hills, booked a tee time and had an amazing afternoon. When I asked for a refund at Briarwood before leaving to play Hinckley, the cashier said “I don’t know how to do that” Not only did I over pay for the round, but I also gave this course money that I work extremely hard for, to not even play a round of golf. I cannot comment on the conditions of the course. However, given the treatment myself and my playing partners, I highly recommend finding another course to play that treats their customers honestly and fairly. I wish you all the best of luck going into this upcoming 2024 season!

The course was in surprisingly good shape and the people were very nice. Planning my outing here in the summer!

Check Briarwood out!

This was the best golf course my group has played at for this time of the year. The weather has been no help but the maintenance staff has done an extremely good job keeping up on the conditions of the course. The staff inside is very accommodating. Great time!

I had a great time playing Briarwood. The course was wet, but it's been raining a lot. They will be fixing parts of the cart paths this spring! Very exciting. Can't wait to come back when the weather is nice!

I highly recommend this course to any weekend muni warrior or a country club regular. The staff is helpful and very friendly. The course is in great shape. The greens are pristine, and the fairways are plush. It is a challenging, yet forgiving course with tons of fun holes. The 19th hole has every beer imaginable with tvs playing throughout. Definitely coming this summer!

I tried canceling my reservation via GolfNow on Friday 2/16 because of the upcoming weather advisory. It kept saying there was an error when processing so I waited until Saturday morning to try and cancel again, same issue. It was well before the 24+ hour cancel mark but of course after the 24+ mark it let me cancel. I called Briarwood and asked if they were open on Saturday 2/17 and the man there said it was closing down because of how much snow there was. He also mentioned not being open for the morning/afternoon of Sunday 2/18. I called Sunday morning to see how the greens were looking but the weather was still bad and I assumed they were closed. Would I be able to get like some credit from either GolfNow or even Briarwood since I paid for 5 people to come golf?

Staff was super friendly and course for time of year was in great condition

We played on Thursday, October 5 and it was a great time. I would recommend this course to anyone.

First time playing. Good elevation change, good variety, good mix of challenges hole to hole. Greens ran true, faster than they look. Like a discount pine hills. Overall fun round.

Negatives: cart paths are bumpy, low areas were wet even tho we haven’t had rain, overall conditioning not the best.

Would recommend for a no frills experience where you’re looking for a challenge.

Cart paths need major repairs It is uncomfortable to ride on current conditions.
There is no control over pace of play.
Fairways and greens were on decent condition

Used to play here frequently and decided to visit the course again yesterday. Very disappointed in the course conditions, standing water, tire skids around the greens, the rough is as tall and thick as the Open. Because of it lost many balls that couldn’t be seen in the rough. The carts were filthy with debris and old mud. Not going back anytime soon.

Cart paths are a mine field, and driving on the course is not much better. After 3 holes waited on every shot. Took 3 hours to play the back 9 even with a cart. This used to be a good course and they ruined it by seling some of the lan d and reconfiguring some of the holes.

golfed here with my buddies. it's one of our favorite courses in the area! friendly staff and challenging course.

we play here about twice a week. it's a good course. we're excited for their upcoming renovations this spring.

Overall a very nice course. I have played it several times. This time I am not sure if it was just the rain or some drainage issues but the course was extremely wet in areas! Don’t get me wrong I will be back again.
