$85 for this course is way overpriced. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. Sand traps should honestly be called “gravel traps”—there are so many rocks that one swing could easily ruin a wedge. Greens are completely unfair. I’ve never played a course where the greens and pin placements felt this punishing. Even if you hit every green in regulation, you’re likely to three-putt on at least half the holes because the ball either rolls off the green or ends up 10+ feet from the hole. The pin locations are downright criminal. You can easily pay $50 at another course for similar—or even better—conditions. At $85, I expect close to country-club level quality, and Birdsfoot is nowhere near that. That said, the layout and scenery are excellent. Every hole is well-designed with scenic views throughout the course. Bottom line: I’d play here again for $50, but $85 is a hard pass.

One of my favorite public courses in the Pittsburgh area. Great layout and nice staff. Main complaint is the bunkers. A large percentage of them are in terrible shape. Course seems to be pretty successful so either fix the bunkers or get rid of some so you don’t have as many to care for.

Pretty nice layout, though the bunkers and some tee boxes need some help. Pace ofnplay was miserable, though. 4:30 on a Monday afternoon and it took 2 hours to get through 6 holes.
