Define the word "better".

Both have pros and cons.

BRCC is old money, CCL is new money.

CCL is a harder course and better for elite golfers IMO, but I think BRCC is in fantastic shape and has a much more private vibe.

From what I understand BRCC is harder to get into with the excessive number of sponsors needed. But I hear it pays off in the long run as they maintain memberships well. CCL is promoting its membership to a younger demographic right now. Didn't know if they were hurting for money right now or planning to undergo renovation/construction which obviously needs additional funding. Looking to join either one in the near future.

My friend at BRCC told me they had built a nice "sports bat" not long ago and were trying to make it appeal to some of the younger members. He said it def has a lot of old crust arse annoying members

I heard yesterday 3k up front, 250/month. But you have to cut a check for the yearly amount.

ETA: for CCL

I'd join U club before I did that.

I'll give you layout, but condition easily? Come on. BRCC is in great shape. Wonderful greens.

Both are fantastic.

Golf clubhouse is tiny at BRCC. I grew up hanging out there though, so I'm partial and I think its very private and quaint and gives you everything you need.

However the rest of the club has been recently redone and is incredible. Their new sports bar/bistro and outdoor patio are fantastic.

That isn't bad compared to some of the numbers I've heard up here in Birmingham..

Easier

BRCC greens are very true, average pace, and relatively easy (minus a couple holes). I think they are slightly better conditioned than UClub (due to less use maybe), but not near as "exciting".

UClub greens can really add a bunch of strokes to your rounds, while BRCC are, in whole, much more attackable.

I've never played either, but if we're talking about living there/being a member, I'd go CCLA easily...if for no other reason than traffic around BRCC.
