Not sure about the shape, but they have a clown show out there running things these days. I would call to make sure they don't book you in the middle of a tournament. Also don't be surprised if you get stuck behind a group of 6 "regulars" who won't let you pass them.

You're better off going to beaver

Brother played it two weeks ago. Greens were immaculate.

Beaver sucks. It's terrible.

Played it a few times lately.. It's in OK shape. Greens running a little slow So you can be firm with it. And for those saying Beaver sucks... Copper and Beaver are pretty similar except Beavers greens are quicker this summer.

If Coppers greens are immaculate I guess we play different courses and have different expectations.

Go to the Bluffs.

Can anyone give me which course within a 45 min drive of BR is in the best shape? Looking to buy a round or get a gift card for someone. Thanks.

It's in good shape. It's a value for what you pay to play. Sure the Bluffs has some incredible holes but is about double the price. I play both regularly.

It took beaver 6 weeks to get healed from a punch. That's terrible.

Not to mention their 4-ball was terrible. If I'm heading north to play it'll be at copper or bluffs

Played it yesterday. Greens are still good but edges are starting to get burnt. They should be punching soon IMO

He is correct. On Sunday's during a tournament it's probably just like being at Augusta national on Sunday during the masters.

Edges are burnt because they are bringing the greens back out to the original size. I was told over years they had gotten smaller.

Beaver is in Great shape, least in was for the open, best I've seen it. Copper is respectable, greens are ok little slow
