Birdwood Golf Course

About Birdwood Golf Course

You'll find this public track tucked away in Charlottesville's rolling hills, and while it doesn't get the attention of some of Virginia's marquee courses, that 4.6 Google rating from over 250 reviews tells you everything you need to know about what locals think. The routing makes excellent use of the natural terrain, with elevation changes that give you some legitimate risk-reward decisions and views that remind you why this part of Virginia is so coveted. The conditioning consistently punches above its weight class for a municipal course, and the greens have enough character to keep things interesting without being unfair. What really sets Birdwood apart is the value proposition and the fact that you can walk it – increasingly rare benefits that make this a perfect choice for your regular rotation rather than just special occasions. The pace of play tends to move well, and you'll encounter a mix of serious players and casual golfers who all seem to appreciate having access to quality golf without the pretense or premium pricing. If you're looking for a solid test that won't break the bank and actually welcomes walkers, this should be on your list.
