“Lots of fun shots of this golf course. Strategic with tee shot placement on many holes. Great little short course also."

“Davis Love's redesign opened in 2019, and this course bears little resemblance to old Birdwood. The new course is an open tree-limited design with large stretches of fescue bordering most holes. This par 71 layout requires a wide variety of shots, and from the tips it can be a monster. All four of the par 5s are terrific (two are reachable), the par 3s can be a real challenge from the back tee boxes, and every green from #8 onward has some unique characteristic. From the 8th tee box you can see 14 holes on a course that is mostly isolated from housing. The facility has has a 6-hole par 3 course and the practice green, which is near one acre in size, has an 18-hole putting course. The zoysia fairways are the best I have played in the state of Virginia, public or private."

“If you have not played this course after Davis Love's redesign, you need to get there. He did a great job routing the course along ridges, over hills, through dales. It is difficult but it won't beat you up."

“Beautiful remodel on great piece of land. Made excellent use of rolling hills, creek, and large trees. Tough from back tees but worth going out of your way to play."

“Davis Love and his firm did a great remodel. The new course has lots of variety with numerous classic touches. Every hole is distinct and interesting. The carries over water are challenging with many risk/reward decisions. The short course is also exceptional. The holes there are short but resemble the big course and present a great practice option."
