Rough was too high,due to high rains and not recently cut. Fairways just cut and a lot of loose grass. Many greens are damaged and were fuzzy cut.

Private course. Must stay at the resort to play this course, and the resort is very expensive.

Play as a member/guest not a resort guest for best price, or get a package deal at the resort. One of 3 courses each day is designated for BCCC members only with better pace of play. Greens were punched last week, so they discounted fee. Enjoy the elevation.
