Common Questions


What makes the Birch course unique?

Birch is our most scenic nine, with plenty of elevation changes and standout forest and water views. The signature moment comes off the second tee box, which looks out over the lodge and the pond. The holes range from a long 600-yard par 5 to open, to a short 120-yard par 3 that plays over a pond at the 8th.

Which is the most memorable hole on Birch?

Many golfers point to the view from the second tee box over the lodge and pond. The par-3 8th is another favourite for the way it plays across the water, and the opening par 5 makes for a strong start at a full 600 yards.

Is Birch suitable for beginners?

Yes. Golfers of all abilities are welcome, and the scenery makes for an enjoyable walk whatever your score. If you are just starting out, our Head Golf Professional also offers lessons to help you feel more confident on the course.

Can I walk Birch, or do I need a cart?

You are welcome to walk the course with your green fee at no extra cost. A power cart is available to rent if you would rather ride.

Are there golf specials or packages?

Seasonal offers and stay-and-play packages appear on our Golf Offers page through the year. It is always worth a look before you book.

Where can I grab food during or after my round?

Grab a coffee at Fredrich Café, refuel with a quick bite at Caddy Snack between nines, sit down at the Wyld for a casual meal, or settle in for the evening at Fredrich Inspired Kitchen + Cocktails.
