Black Bear Golf Club

I've played this course a few times and I note that drainage is an issue. I note that many shots from the fairway are from wet muddy soil which affects the shots. The greens range from good to fair. There are spots of repair on many of the greens and some are cut shorter than others. Some allow for rather consistent ball roll but others do not as a result of their condition.
Overall it was a good experience as I like the slope and the challenge of keeping the ball in the fairways if you have any hope of a decent scoring opportunity.

Nice Staff , very helpful . Course was in great condition.
The grill after the round was just as good .
Highly recommended .

Thank you

Black Bear Golf Course is very good to excellent.
Course conditions is very good.

My wife and I played this course a week after Hurricane Sandy hit our area and all things considered the course was in really good condition. Fairways were mowed and tee boxes were nice.

We both got serious about golf this year and are high handicappers and we found this course to have a great balance between challenge and forgiveness with some straight forward holes as well as some blind tee shots, doglegs and nicely placed bunkers.

Our only complaint was that some greens had a lot of un-repaired ball marks which did cause us some trouble on a few puts.

For the $16 green fee, it was an awesome value, but we both said that it would be a worthwhile course at the more regular pricing.

The course has great scenery, I had really enjoyed playing there, would love to play there again

Long enough for a big hitter but reachable if your not. Greens need help real bad. This is my first time playing it. But it seams this place was a great course not to long ago.

Received a good value on Golfnow and based on recommendations tried the course. Overall a good course, reasonably challenging and pretty course. Only opportunity for improvement is the greens need to be made more consistent. Some are shaggy and others fast.

they really need to attend to the greens, for the price you pay the greens really need to be kept up. they where really bad shape,but otherwise the course is great.

Nice course with very good conditions. Sand and moguls in spots, plus a few narrow fairways make the course a good challenge. Much more of a shorter shot makers course than a Wild Turkey which is longer but more open, but not as difficult as Crystal Springs. You can find some excellent deals on weekdays (which is when I play) making it a bargain.

Good for intermediates, pretty course with alot of wild life. Actually saw Wild Turkeys, Deer and a big Black Bear. Greens needed work, otherwise good course.

greens in horrible shape and they still charge full price...last time i'm playing there

Good set up on the course, nice layout, good pro shop, bar and grill. Tee boxes and fairways in very good condition. Greens a big let down, very sandy and some greens were unplayable.

Overall I think this course is decent I might have second thoughts about playing it again at full price. Played this course twice this year and unfortunately on the second go around we found it to be very slow (5 hrs plus) and we barely finished before it got dark out. Appearance of the club house is nice and well kept, refreshment cart made a few stops during our round, a very nice feature. First time out greens were in good shape but not the same on the rebound, new sod on some greens and not rolled very well, made putting very difficult.

I would recommend everyone to play this golf course. Course overall was in great shape some greens were on their way back from heavy summer play. Very enjoyable round of golf. Would play again.
