Briarcrest's greens are for the better golfer, it's not that they don't roll true, it's that they are harder to read. Briarcrest consistently maintains better greens than both the public courses and pebble creek.
When I say they don't roll true, I mean you get more hops because of inconsistent grass mainly. They are hard to read, but no harder than the campus course. The one knock on the campus's course is it is dead around some of the edges and they are addressing it.
The one thing I absolutely cannot stand about the campus course is the grass around the bunkers. They don't trim it down, and the course rule is if you can't see your ball it's an embedded lie that you can remove without a stroke, if you can find it. Apparently a lot of people have a problem with it, but the one higher up that doesn't is the one who has the most say about it.
I like Briarcrest, I just like the Campus Course more. The tee boxes are the biggest reason I think. Briarcrest's are absolutely terrible.
