This course even earns one star only because I got a hot deal on GolfNow and only paid $21.99. Had I payed full price of $57 for 18 with a cart it would have been the worst golf experience I’ve ever had. It’s clear the owners are not putting any money into this course. The “fairway” is as long as your typical rough at a normal course. The greens are the worst I’ve ever seen, full of pitting, making the ball jump all over the place and slower than anything I’ve ever seen. Making more than a 4ft putt would be next to impossible. No amenities on the course such as water coolers or drink carts. Bunkers were full of grass and not a rake to be found around the course. There’s not apron or fringe around the greens, but you can clearly see where they used to be before they let the conditions deteriorate to the point they are at now. Tee boxes are just crabgrass, trimmed down to somewhere between a first cut and rough height. You can tell that the bones are there for a beautiful golf club, but the owners must not be reinvesting properly. Even for the price, people were out there playing it, so they have revenue. I think the owners just need to take more pride in their product, or lower the full round price to something more representative of the course. I don’t feel like I got a great deal for $21.99. I feel like that’s a fair price for what I just played. But had I played $57 that would be the biggest ripoff. Unless you get a hot deal, play somewhere else.
This golf course is in rough shape. Tee boxes are a mess and greens are covered in divets. The bunkers were rocky and weeds covered much of them. The woman staff member in the clubhouse was quite honestly a bigger turn off than the poor condition of the course. She was rude from the start of our round to the very end. We were albeit a bit slow, but she came out and accosted us for not finishing yet even though there was another player out on the course well behind us. She made another rude comment to our group in the parking lot reiterating we were late even though she never communicated a time to be back at the clubhouse. We went out after 5 and let a faster group play through. We also had the sprinklers turned on during our round slowing us down even more. The lack of professionalism, rude behavior and terrible condition of the course will all be reasons that we will never play Black Birch golf course again. $22 for 9 holes can get you much better golf in other places throughout the state.
It's a great little place especially for beginners bc it's pretty inexpensive. It's a full 18 hole course in a pretty and rural setting. The only complaint I would have is that they don't always do an amazing job at mowing so it can often be very difficult to find your ball, so bring a few!
