Black Bear Golf Club

Great course but another year that the crystal springs resorts has forgotten that sand goes in the traps!!! Nothing but dirt and rocks...horrible. Might as well make them grass traps. Guess if we keep giving them money they don't care what material it is

Great conditions-excellent shape.

The course is a very narrow and not a lot of room to work with. Specially since most holes are driving. Other than that the course was beautiful

Beware of the Par 5's and bring your Driver because you're gonna need it.

Played Black Bear on Friday, June 4th with 2 friends. Course was in great shape. Staff were very helpful. Enjoyed having a free bucket of balls before play. I highly recommend this challenging course.

The course and staff were great, slow play killed the day, but the Minerals Spa deal with the round is AWESOME.

good day for golf only drawback was the aerating on some fairways I know it has to b done just annoying

Given the time of year...12/27... course was plush and well groomed. Greens were in good shape.

Even after the heavy rains the night before the course was in very good shape. We had great weather and an all around great round of golf.

Due to late season the price couldn't be beat. Will definetly play again.

the elevated greens & tees with the narrow fairways & dog legs say you better pay attention . Play it longer then it says ,its all carry.

Leaves are everywhere. Lost 6 balls either in fairway or just in rough. Course was cart path only which should be disclosed before committing. As a resident of Crystal Springs I think all the course are over priced compared to others that are as good or better.

Played here for first time in a few years.
I didn't realize the course is so beautiful and layout is quite entertaining. But the greens were somewhat slower than I expected and bunker s had NO SAND which made it almost impossible to land and stop the ball from green side bunkers on to much elevated greens. Other than that, HotDeal on GolfNow is definitely worth it.

The fall foliage was in full bloom making a wonderful background for the rolling hills of Blackbear. Some of the fairways had quite a few leaves making it difficult to find the ball. But, it's that time of the year. Course was in great condition.

Saw it on Golfnow.com for 15 bucks so I couldn't resist it ! It was 48 degrees, windy and cold but the sun was bright so the rest didn't really bother me. Course was in very good shape for this time of year . Greens were SLICK - there weren't too many putts being left short ! First time I've played it in about 20 years because it's normally way too overpriced by the golf club but at Golfnow's prices I'LL BE BACK !

Start of Fall. Leaves o. Greens a minor prob but hard to maintain due to windy day

Course was very enjoyable. Staff was great and respectfull. We will play here again.

Beautiful views, friendly staff, and a nice course. I enjoyed myself and found the course to be not as difficult as I assumed. The bunkers are as hard as a rock, they should keep it soft and fresh. They didn't have a cleat cleaner. I get bothered by that, especially when they just cut the grass and it's wet out. Besides that overall this place is great and I will be returning. Usually I would have more to say about a course but I think this is one everybody will enjoy if the the round goes well.

Played on a Saturday morning with great golfing weather. Greeted by the staff upon arrival which does not happen often at other courses. They took my bag and put it on my cart and directed me to where the pro shop was to check in. The course is in wonderful condition after the little bit of rain we received. Greens were rolling great and the pace of play was spot on and we finished in our allotted 4 hours and 30 min. We were greeted by the player assistants on course to make sure our day was going well which was surprising since again most courses when a player assistant comes up to you it is to tell you that you are playing slow. Overall the day was fantastic and I would recommend to anyone to go and play Black Bear!

They stack everyone up with no gaps so the course backs up. Also as most courses are in the fall, they are doing serious aeration.

Not an "easy" course at all. Red offered a challenge but had its share of holes that allow for mid level players to feel comfortable too. We got s little bunched up at the end as a slow foresome backed up the group ahead of us, but we finished the track just before sundown. Overall the fairways were very nice. The greens needed to be better cared for especially since they made pin placements nearly impossible for this day ! If u have difficult pin placements, ur greens better be perfect to allow for precision putts.. That's my only real complaint.

I'd go back again and make sure it's an easier tee time to save the light.

Oh and the ranger by the 5th hole was SUPER friendly and I drove into the woods and lost my ball which he replaced as I passed by since he has a bunch he collected from around the course. That was very nice of him..
