Frequently Asked Questions

With 27 holes at Birchwood Farms, which nine should I prioritize for a truly memorable round?

You've got three distinct nines here - The Farms, The Woods, and The Lakes. If you're looking for the signature Birchwood experience, we highly recommend combining The Woods and The Lakes. You'll find the most dramatic elevation changes and stunning views of Lake Michigan on those two, especially from holes 4 and 14.

When is the absolute best time to visit Birchwood Farms for prime conditions and fewer crowds?

We always steer golfers towards late May or early October. In May, the courses are freshly green and vibrant, often before the peak summer rush, while October offers crisp air and incredible fall foliage without the mid-summer crowds. You'll get fantastic playing conditions and a more relaxed pace either way.

As a non-member, how can I secure a tee time and experience Birchwood Farms' renowned courses?

Birchwood Farms is primarily a private club, but they do offer limited guest play through their 'Stay & Play' packages with local partner resorts. Your best bet is to inquire directly with the club about these packages or secure an invitation from a current member. Don't expect to just walk up and book - planning ahead is key.

What unique amenities or dining experiences should I explore at Birchwood Farms after my round?

After you've conquered the greens, head straight to The Overlook Grill. Their patio offers unparalleled sunset views over Lake Michigan, making it the perfect spot for a post-round drink and their excellent walleye dinner. It's a fantastic way to cap off your day, and honestly, the views alone are worth the visit.

Is playing at Birchwood Farms a significant investment, and what's included in the typical guest green fee?

Expect Birchwood Farms to be on the higher end of the spectrum, reflecting its pristine conditions and exclusive atmosphere. Guest green fees typically include your cart and range balls, but caddies are an additional, worthwhile expense if you want local course knowledge. We think the immaculate course conditions and overall service make it a worthwhile splurge for a special golf trip.
