Great afternoon at Birchwood Park
Haven't played the course for a number of years, the facilities seems to have been improved, there wasn't a gym or swimming pool last time I visited. Unfortunately on the day we played they were having a power-cut so none of the buildings were open, only the golf could continue. The course was in excellent condition, the fairways looking freshly mowed in strips and the greens true to putt on. Only comment is the bunkers could do with some sand in them, one seemed to be in the middle of being renovated and had no sand at all, only the tarmac permeable base (luckily didn't go in it). Teeing of on a Thursday at 3pm we (2-ball) managed a 3h45m round, which we thought was superb on a very hot afternoon (30+), hardly saw another person on the course all afternoon. Talking with the Marshall afterwards he said we were very lucky as usually it's busy and rounds can take between 4 and 5 hours. Would definitely play again on less busy week days (outside school holidays), as would expect weekends to be closer to the 5 hour round mark, with queuing on tees. Well worth the money (£31) some challenging holes especially on the back nine, in particular the 15th (great hole), very happy with a 5 on this par 4.
