I always get a lot of attitude with my hot dog there.

What’s wrong with Clark’s range? It’s been in great shape every time for me. I like that it’s not crazy sandy like Greystone.

Grass is incredibly high. They don’t move the ropes enough. They don’t sand the divots often enough. Incredibly bumpy. Inget that a ton of people don’t know how to make a proper divot pattern on a grass range. How about put up a big sign on tbe range to exhibit a line and not random divots?

According to the 2026 BREC budget, the golf program budget is $8.198 million, up from $7.1 million in 2025. One wonders where all the money goes.

I agree with a lot of what you said but not this. They’re not UClub worthy, but they aren’t awful. Atleast it’s grass and not on mats.

I’ve always wondered about that dead space bar at Santa Maria. I’ve been to some small arse town golf courses that have little bars. Your telling me the local BR golfers wouldn’t buy a few beers to make a profit?


I know nothing about this place, but a “few beers” isn’t paying the bills for a full on bar at a course. There’s a reason most private clubs require a minimum amount of spend at the club bar/restaurant.

Ok cool. Just use “ a few beers” to mean the definition of what is needed.
The place is packed 24/7. Beyond packed.
How do other golf courses run a bar? That’s what I’m talking about.

It’s insane. Alcohol sales are the highest margin product that golfers welcome buying. Both the cart girl and bar service in the afternoon would kill money.

She's so mean! I always make sure to buy something just so she has to do the job she's paid to do.

She sucks. The 50 passive-aggressive hand written notes piss me off too.
Again, this boils down to Raby.

This. The black lady is a massive bitch. She hates her job and her life. Half the time it’s closed anyways.

Just give me a glizzy with a smile

Brec collects a large amount of money. Funding is not the problem, but where the money is going is. And now the new guy comes in making a $250,000-275,000 salary?

He’s not a course superintendent. He’s over all of BREC.
