An old style course that is improving with time. Needs cart path work and continued improvements to hazards. But it offers good value and management as well as patrons are pleasant always.

Not bad

The guy at the cashier was not there and that was a plus. The female at the counter understands courtesy and respect. Huh..

The Best Bang for the Buck

I thoroughly enjoy playing BGC. The clubhouse staff are fantastic. They are very customer service oriented. I like to walk and with the exception of hole #11 this course is walker friendly. The course overall is in great condition.

Cart Path is a Danger Zone

The Greens are in great shape but slow comparably

The Fairways are Fair shape but not soft at all. Tee Boxes in decent shape..BUT THE CART PATH IS A JOKE..You need a SUV cart to ride on them ..FIX THE Path Geez..
