Birch Valley Golf Course

Birch Valley Golf Course is an 18-hole public course located in Sears, Michigan, designed by architect Paul Taylor and built in 1993. The course measures 5,962 yards from the white tees with a par of 72, offering an alternative red tee option at 4,370 yards. The layout features two nines of 36 holes each, with a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s distributed across both sides.

The course sits on expansive property and is characterized by large fairways that accommodate wayward shots, along with notably large green complexes. The course operates seasonally from April through October. While one reviewer praised the fairway conditions and accurate yardage markers, another noted the course design as relatively basic with some narrow fairways and limited amenities, including no on-site food and beverage options. The course provides cart and club rentals, along with a practice putting green. Overall reviews indicate decent playing conditions with varied opinions on layout design and amenities.
