The back nine at Birch Creek puts a premium on driving your golf ball. Arriving at the 17th you will be happy to hear that it plays about one club shorter than the yardage. Play the par 3's at Birch Creek in even par and you can rest assured that you have accomplished a substantial feat in golf. As you make your ascent on the 18th at Birch Creek, remember to keep your ball out of the trees on the right. Assuming that you have successfully gotten yourself within 140 yards with your first two shots remember that an approach shot landing short of green or in the fringe at 18 may roll back to 60 yards for your fourth shot.
Birch Creek is a fantastic test of golf.
It is one of the few public courses in the area that will test every club in your bag. The greens are as good as any that I have played on. If you play smart and do not get yourself into trouble you can shoot very good scores at Birch Creek. If you do not do these things, the course can quickly make a good day on the course an exercise in anger management and patience. Birch Creek is open to the public.
