Player Reviews: Cautionary Tales

While Birches/Woods at Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club boasts an impressive course design and layout, player reviews paint a concerning picture. Many reviewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the club's management and board of directors' financial decisions, which have resulted in plummeting property values. This has led to a controversial $15,000 buyout fee that members are required to pay when resigning their memberships. One reviewer aptly summarized the situation: "What the club chose to do to compensate for the downfall was implement bylaws that forced members…to pay a $15,000 buyout fee." Another reviewer advised potential members to "read the fine print" and be aware of these hidden fees.

Regrettably, there seems to be a lack of positive reviews highlighting the course conditions or the friendliness of the staff. Based on these negative reviews, it appears that Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club may not provide the most enjoyable experience for golfers seeking excellent course conditions and friendly staff interactions.
