Greens urgently need improvement

The greens here are pretty awful - full of unrepaired pitch marks and mixed, uneven grasses.

Please get the green keepers at related nearby Brea Creek GC to take over the greens at Birch Hills. Brea Creek has such excellent quality greens, some of the finest in OC!!

What is title meaning ?

It was nice and happy to play.
Only problem is too much traffic, and too far from home.

Fun practice course

Price is reasonable and course is fun to play. Greens take a lot of abuse and most people don’t repair ball marks on green. Fairways a bit ragged and greens could use more water.

Always pleasant - greens need work

A lovely short course, a bit slow but always pleasant. The greens are in need of re-seeding in many places, and players clearly don’t always repair their pitch marks.

People play too slow

Took us almost 4 hours to finish the 18 holes. Same as the regular 18 holes golf course.
I love this course and the conditions of the course. However, the par 3 courses should be finished in 3 hours.

Sunny day hilf

Always nice to play short game @ Birch.
To many ‘twosomes’ which really slows pace of play. Also suggest they put more ‘benches’ out there. Need place to rest when walking/waiting since pace is slow

Good shape, but,….

We “seniors” walked with pull carts. The course needs to add more benches at more tee boxes. A total of 4 benches for the 18 holes.
W

3 on front nine. 1 on back nine.

Better before the remodel

The course was ok. Went after the rain. Grass needed to be cut and the bunkers were so hard we pulled balls out rather than playing. Not to mention some had lakes in them. Some people on the course were rude. For the price you pay with cart might as well play at a better course. Didn’t finish the back 9 since we were stuck behind a group walking that was very slow with 5 players.

Good but pretty wet

Doing the best they can. Conditionings are very wet. Some traps have a lot of water in them

Golf Now Failed to Notify Me of Closure.

I showed up an hour early for my tee time to be told the course was closed due to weather. I asked why I was not informed of the canceled tee time. I was told that they notified Golf Now. I blocked time out of my day for golf and was turned away. HORRIBLE.
