Since no one else replied I'll throw this out. Go to www.bngc.net and under the "Golf Course" menu and submenu "Course Tour" click on each hole to get a short hint on that hole. I think the same info is in the players guide you can get at the pro shop.

Other than that I hope you can play with someone who is familiar with the course. If not then my advice is look at the slopes and try to favor missing towards them as much as possible when they will help your shot bound back into play. For example on 1 and 13, your approach shots can be insanely wide right and usually end up OK but a little left usually ends badly. Same on 15 except favor the left on the approach, etc. You can hit some really bad shots at BNGC and still do OK if you hit them in a more or less "safe" direction.

When you go to BNGC look into their twilight rates as they have some good deals. As an additional bonus I usually get paired with members or regulars in the afternoon and they have provided a lot of insight into getting around the course. There are a couple of holes on the back with long green to tee hikes but other than that I always walk and enjoy doing so (a good number of the people I meet in the afternoon are walking too).

I've never met anyone who didn't like BNGC. Cyprian seem to be highly polarizing though, people tend to either love it or ardently hate it. Cyprian doesn't have great twilight rates but the Spring for sure is the time to play there. Avoid playing after they have aerated the greens as they don't top dress to fill in the punch marks but let them grow in naturally. And it's the same thing, if you play in the afternoon you'll likely run into members and regulars walking. Even more so than at BNGC, local knowledge is helpful in understanding how to effectively get around the course as both have lots of elevation changes with interesting things going on.

Thank you for the very helpful advice.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
