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.

    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session.
