Type: Public
Rates: Weekday $30-$36, Weekend $45-$55
Practice Area: Practice area includes a 10-acre lighted driving range with Bermuda grass tees, short-game area and putting green. The facility is open daily during the Spring and Summer seasons until 9pm.
Description: Daily fee public course designed by Arnold Palmer and located off the popular Birkdale exit of I-77, north of uptown Charlotte. Located on 200 acres of rolling terrain, carved between tall pines and natural streams, Birkdale is a challenging 7,013 yard, par 72 course made up of Bermuda fairways and Crenshaw bent grass greens, offering a true test of golf skills.
Notes: New for 2007: Birkdale has joined the Carolina Trail group of courses and the memberships & discounts can now be shared across all of them -- The Divide, Tradition, Highland Creek, Charlotte Golf Links, and Waterford.
B-Man's Take: I play here once or twice a season, mostly because it's quite a haul from my home in Indian Trail. I have enjoyed my rounds here, though the course has many challenging holes with some tough carries over trouble. Many holes have doglegs and a couple of short par 4's are almost drive-able. The par 3 holes are all pretty tough. Watch out for the 569yd par 5 5th hole where your 3rd shot must carry water to reach sucker pins in the front right corner. And good luck on the 436yd par 4 18th hole, which also has a tough carry over water and bunkers to a sloped green. This course is always in great shape and you'll get your money's worth.
