Birley Wood Golf Club

Course is excellently prepared, not the most challenging. One or two greens not great (1st in particular). Unfortunately had problems with local players on a few occasions, which completely detract from all the positives.
When deemed to be playing too slow despite keeping up easily with the group in front (Which oddly never let you through) it is customary to have shouts of disapproval from the group behind while putting and even balls fired at you to speed you up. All this when playing a 3.5hr round which in anyone’s book on a busy Saturday muni is a reasonable pace.
So good course let down by the locals on numerous occasions

Congratulations Sheffield . We played the Fairways course at Birley Wood last Saturday and had a good days golfing. Etremely impressed with the course layout, lots of on course assistance i.e. rubbish bins,sand boxes and signage at every tee.Yardage and fairway markers plentiful and lovely putting surfaces.Everyone pleased to help with course information.A big thank you to all the staff for maintaining such a nice course

Ive played the course regularly and must give local golfers this advice.Because of its position and drainage this course is seldom not in play. In the winter months because of the quality of the greens,temps are seldom in use.It always seems playable ,when other courses have closed due to the weather.So if your desperate for you winter golf fix, always try Birley first,it always comes up smelling of roses.

I have played at Birley Golf course a few times now, I am a beginner at golf but thoroughly enjoy it. Having only been to Birley I cannot comment on other courses or compare but I think Birley is a great course.

With regards to Mr. Buttrick's comments 14/10/03, I am please to announce that directional signage is now in place at Birley Wood Golf Course.

Interesting course with wonderful views, nice mixture of holes. But could do with some direrction markers for strangers visiting. Greens and fairways in good condition. Prices reasonable.

Played this course on 14/12/02.
It was in excellent condition considering the recent weather. More expensive nearby courses are in worse condition than this. Credit to the groundstaff.
Only one complaint, there are not enough course directions.
Worth playing.

Being local to the course I have played Birley for approx 1 year. Compared with other, more expensive courses, I think Birley is excellent.
For those who are reading this..I'd like to make a personal thanks to the staff who do a great job it the course up-keep. If you haven't tried Birley yet - try it!!

This may not be one of the best golf courses but if your a jounior or a begginer this is a fine place to start playing good enjoyable golf. They make you feel very welcome with fees at a very low (below 5 pounds for juniors) not a course for the player with a handicap below 20.
It has a bar called the Fairways and recently money has been spent wisely on the club.
