Birkdale Golf Club

NOW OPEN FOR PLAY: Birkdale Golf Club is excited to announce that during the course closure all green side bunkers have been renovated with beautiful new sand. Our tees, fairways and greens are in fabulous condition. BOOK ONLINE or call (704) 895-8038 for your tee time.

TEMPORARY PARKING LOT: Birkdale Golf Club will be using its temporary parking lot for all golfers during final construction phase of the development project taking place on the former practice facility land. When entering Birkdale Golf Club from Birkdale Commons Parkway, follow signs to temporary parking lot located near the end of where the driving range used to be. We will provide shuttle service throughout the day back and forth from parking lot to clubhouse. Golf carts will be available for golf course only and will NOT be allowed in the temporary parking lot. Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled tee time to allow enough time for the shuttle as well as the check-in process. The entrance immediately adjacent to the clubhouse is for construction traffic only. Walking to and from the temporary parking lot is NOT permitted. As a reminder, the practice facility is permanently closed.

One of Charlotte’s best golf courses, Birkdale Golf Club is now OPEN FOR PLAY as of November 9, 2023. The temporary closure for a master planned development project resulted in clubhouse renovations, beautiful new sand in all green side bunkers and the complete redesign and Hole #9 into an exciting Par 3.

Birkdale’s new Hole #9 is a beautiful par 3 utilizing the original teeing locations for the previous par 4. There have been additional tee locations set across the creek access. The gently sloping green is protected by both a bunker on the right and a newly exposed creek on the left. Golfers will find the new hole both challenging and visually pleasing as they finish the hole on their way to the back nine.

Arnold Palmer Signature Design

From his historic playing career, as leader of Arnie’s Army, to his growth of the game initiatives, to his golf course design skills, Arnold Palmer was a true ambassador of the game and legend in the golf business. Arnie has designed more than 300 courses worldwide, but the only signature design daily-fee course in the Charlotte area is Birkdale Golf Club in Huntersville, North Carolina.

Located on 200 acres of rolling terrain, this 18-hole Championship golf course is carved between tall pines and natural streams. Birkdale Golf Club is a challenging 6,725 yard, par 71 course made up of Bermuda fairways and Ultradwarf Bermudagrass greens. The course layout features four sets of tees, a number of elevation changes, which are appealing to the eye and adds to the challenge. Well positioned water hazards require players to use every shot in their bag.

Palmer used four sets of tees at Birkdale to mix length with game strategy. Several holes feature watery approach shots into well guarded greens and a couple of short par-4’s are almost driveable. The 569 yard 5th hole brings this all together where your third shot must carry water over a rock-faced wall to a long, narrow green. Birkdale Golf Club has been hosting this true test of skill for every golfer seeking a golf experience in the heart of southern charm in Huntersville, North Carolina.

The golf course has been voted the “Best New Golf Course in North Carolina”, one of the “Top Five Public Courses in the State” and Charlotte’s “Best Public Course”.
