Birdwood has been around for a long time but I had not had the chance to play it until last weekend. The course enjoys a well-deserved reputation for a fair, challenging, and well-maintained layout. The course is walkable although some holes have pretty good hikes between greens and tees. In keeping with old line Virginia, the course can be classified... More

Great course, great staff, great atmosphere. I expected the UVA/Boar's Head environment to be very stuffy but everyone was friendly and welcoming. Ask Ace, the starter, for a history and geography lesson. More

if you like level greens, look elsewhere. This gem rolls through piedmont country with lots of elevation changes, water hazards and risk reward dog legs. Not the longest course, but nearly every hole is a delight for the eyes and a challenge to your game. More

This has become a damn difficult track. Greens are Augusta slick and the roughs demand a wedge or so just to get out of--so don't get in them. The fees are too high for the layout--it is a good golf course, but not a great one. More

And with good reason. This is a fun layout except that you don't want to walk the back nine unless you like to carry your bag hundreDs of yeards from the green to the next tee! Holes are challenging, beautifully designed and well kept as only government money can afford these days. This beautiful course could not survive as a... More
