This would have been a serious dress code violation just a few years ago. Another concerning issue is the lackadaisical attitude of the proshop bag boys, they brought our golf bags out and they practically threw them into the rack as we waited for our golf cart. And when they brought the golf cart out it was unclean.

It only slowed at the Par 3s but quickly picked up again. Shout out to the front desk, they were really helpful since it was our first time playing this course. We were fortunate to also be partnered with someone that played here many times so he gave us tips on where to aim. As other reviewers mentioned, it is a little pricey.

It's one of those courses you want to play again, because you'd know better where to aim and what club you might better use. Maybe next year! It's next to a Goleta high school. We were out on a Friday morning, and so was the cheer squad and marching band, practicing for a game that night. We couldn't see them, but they sounded great on the other side of the hill and trees

Drove up from LA to Santa Barbara for a day to celebrate my wife's birthday. Decided to play here…read morebecause I actually enjoy par 3 golf and it's easier for my wife to play. Golfers know what they are getting into with golf courses like this, so no need to criticize the upkeep. The greens are fine, the tee boxes are fine. It's obviously not a country club. But it is definitely a really fun, challenging golf courses for beginners and advanced players as well. 2 holes where you have to hit over 2 fences guarding a water run off trench- really interesting. Then all of a sudden there's 1 regulation par 4, narrow drive. The driving range is excellent. I was surprised to see a chipping area as well. Great friendly staff on top of it. Whenever I am back there I will be back to play.

I am inclined to say 3.5 star review but can't give it a 4 so i'm rounding down to a 3…read more I went here for a full bag fitting to see if my equipment was the best for me, or to see where I could improve. I made an appointment for 10:30AM with Steve and drove the 1hr to get this fitting started. Fitting-I think we started 10 mins late as he was finishing up with another client. He did check up on me when i arrived and let me know we would be getting started soon. Friendly guy, asked what i was trying to accomplish and we started trying some things. I made the mistake of saying i wanted to try more players irons which ended up scratching all the game improvement irons. We tested a few combos and decided that my current set was best. Next we moved on to the Driver. We tried 3 different manufacturers and ended up with a Ping G430. We then checked out my 5w and also a 4H since I struggle to hit my long irons. We didn't mess with my 5w and ended up on a paradym 4H. The fitting itself was fine but i was disappointed because the site makes it seem like they'll show you video and tell you all these details which will help you make the best decision but instead it felt like a really dialed down experience. Hit stuff, check some number, move on. I never really got any big feedback, "spin is here with this club, we really want to bring this down" or just different shaft combinations, all the new heads etc. One of the main reasons I came here was because they advertise how they have all the latest from the biggest manufacturers but we only tried a couple. Maybe my swing is just not great or Maybe steve is just dialed in that trying other things just wasn't going to do much. Maybe it's up to me to ask that we try everything they have to offer? either way I wasn't mad about the fittings. Steve only charged me as if fitting driver, which I assume is because that's what we spent the most time on. Overall I'd say we spent 1 hour on the fitting and , while not fully satisfied, i was fine with it. Where my rating comes from is they buying of clubs and after. I ended up purchasing a callaway 4H and a Ping driver on 5/27. I understood that Monday was a holiday and Steve said it usually takes 2 weeks to get the clubs. I was hoping to get tracking since my clubs were going to ship to work. I emailed Steve a week after and no response. A few days later I called and he said that they normally don't do tracking but since i was in santa maria, he'd follow up and send it once he received it. 2 weeks rolled by and nothing, I e-mailed again and no response. Finally I emailed one more time asking if there had been a delay or if something was on backorder, and if it was to cancel the order because i could get the clubs locally. There was nothing custom except the grips. I understand the supply chain can be crazy right now but the lack of communication was unacceptable, in my opinion. It takes 2 mins to say "working on it no shipping yet" or something. Maybe my 2 clubs wasn't that important to care about? I finally got my driver on the same day, I had sent this last email, and packing slip said the club was ordered on 6/10. A few days later i received my hybrid and said 6/8 order date. Not sure what happened, if they were too busy and took a week to place the order or if the packing slips were wrong but the lack of communication was a deal breaker for me. I'm in sales myself and understand that work can get crazy but to be unresponsive for 2 weeks and just ignore e-mails is unacceptable. I'll be staying local with all my golf needs.

I worked with Steve for the past four months to improve my distance to compete in long drive competitions. Steve listened to my goals and we started attacking it to get longer and longer drives. We have gotten my longest drive up to 389 yards on the Foresight. Steve has been an exceptional instructor and I highly recommend him. I have not worked with Trevor, but I have heard great things. Definitely try the swing eval if you are on the fence and then you can decide to get clubs fit or to buy a lesson package.

But, it is more of a retirement community and later, we ended up moving out. Probably the best time of the year to be at Birnam Wood is Easter. They have an awesome brunch, complete with an Easter egg hunt for little kids. But it's fun for non-kids too: my sisters and I really enjoyed the petting zoo and the food is amazing. I know that Birnam Wood may not be hosting their Easter Banquet this year because of COVID-19, which is so sad, but I'm sure that it will be back next year and the many years after.

The rest of the brunch menu was good, but nothing extra special (just the normal breakfast food). Although, I definitely appreciated that they had Cholula available to put on your eggs! The four stars is mainly because the service was just OK. It took more than 15 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered. When the food arrived some of it was missing. While that's not terrible and they remedied it right away, it did bring it down a notch because there wasn't that extra attention to detail. All that said the grounds were well kept and it has truly wonderful real estate. Worth a visit during a trip to Montecito!
