Undulation throughout the fairways create a challenge and a natural rolling type of terrain. In traditional Dye style the greens are slightly contoured with subtle rolling surfaces, seeded to bent grass. There are currently only a few golf courses in Hawaii that have climatic conditions suitable for the superior putting surface that bent grass provides. Turf types for the balance of the golf course include bermuda grass tee grounds, and the blend of Kentucky blue grass and tall fescue throughout the roughs. The contrast created by the bermuda grass fairways and the tall fescue blended roughs provide a well defined target for the golfer to aim at.
Smallish greens are the ultimate in shot making challenges.
Golf greens at BICC are designed to allow the ball to bounce onto the green surface allowing a variety of shots to be played. Hazards around the greens include the lakes, stream and numerous sand bunkers and grass surrounding the surfaces. Subtleties surrounding greens are a uniqueness of Dye architecture and of Big Island Country Club. Golf courses strive to be unique and to be in harmony with their environment. At BICC we have succeeded in providing the golfer with the most challenging of golf courses in an unbeatable surrounding.
