Birkdale Golf Club

Arnie would probably not be real happy with the condition of his course today.

I was able to snag a $35 deal with the GolfNow app and got on for a 130p tee time. I got paired with a guy named Clint who had just retired and moved from California to Denver NC.

He had played before & we're about the same age so it worked out good. He was able to offer some guidance on how the course plays.

I'm sure when this course was first built in 1997 it was considered a premiere course. Not so much today as the years have not been kind.

The tee boxes are good, the fairways are good but the greens were in very poor condition. There were bare spots, unprepared divots and ragged patches. The front nine was much worse than the back.

I really didn't care for the layout and design of this course. Way too many green side bunkers and the green design and pin placement made it very difficult at times.

The Staff was nice, the Starter was great, the check in was smooth and easy and the facilities seemed OK. There is a driving range and a small practice putting green area.

On one of the holes on the front nine, balls that are hit from the driving range and are off-line come into the fairway which is very frustrating.

I doubt I play this course again. I was disappointed since I had heard so many great things about the course when it first opened.

The greens are in terrible condition with weeds. Cart paths are in bad condition

Haven’t played this course in 3-4 years and was shocked at the green conditions! Shaggy and missing turf on many of the greens. Other areas of course were typical for Birkdale.

Will not play again until they fix the greens!

Not sure what's going on with the green's but they are in pretty bad shape.

Wide fairways and small greens. I love the layout with a few short par 4s where you can layup off the tee or really go for it. Fairways in good shape, a few bumpy spots on the greens but rolled fairly quick, bunkers washed out. I do enjoy the course overall if you can get a deal or twilight rate.

Great layout just doesn’t seem that this course has been maintained very well.
Greens were good and bad. Apparent fungus or some disease on many greens.
Looked like leaves had been in bunkers for days and no rakes.

One of my favorite courses in the Charlotte area. Great course layout and friendly staff. Some difficult holes and some good scoring opportunity holes. Conditioning is great, little patchy on the greens but nothing too bad at all and doesn’t take away from the experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Course was in good shape. Enjoyed a round with some very nice gentlemen that let join their group. I’ll be back!

Great layout and well kept. On weekends does get a lot of traffic.

Met family last minute. Had a great day. Pace of play was great and nice difficult course. Recommend to anyone

Booked my round through TeeOff. Payed over $30 up front for “taxes” that were supposed to be applied to my green fees. The course apparently has no association with the app and would not honor what I had already paid. Ended up paying $90 to play a $59 course.

Very good layout, Affordable , good value for your money, Ok fairyway, poor green conditions
