Great Bear Golf Club

Always a great time and exceptional Value. course was in great condition from tee to green. Only negative...they let too many twosomes out.

Course conditions were good. Greens seemed a little slow. It would be nice if fellow golfers would take the time to repair divots and their ball marks on the greens. I can't tell you how many greens were full of unrepaired ball marks. Disappointed that cart person was only working until 4 pm. We were only at the turn. Other than those minor issues it was a very enjoyable afternoon. One of the best courses in the area!!

I was a single got sent out right after a group of 4 and had a group of 3 sent out right behind me so that was kind of annoying but all in all everything was fantastic course was in great shape will def go again

This is the best conditioned course I’ve played in a long time. The fairways are like carpets and the greens are fast.

I will definitely play here again and ya can’t beat the price of $35 on Golfnow is the best!

Always easy to find guys to play this beautiful course...Golf Now Hot Deal price of $31 is well worth the hour ride...Will definitely be back soon.

This is a great course period! all that I expected and more!

For the Poconos this was a very fair course for everyone. Course was in fairly good shape but for the price I expected way better. Guys working and checking us in were about as cool and respectful as I could ask for in the covid situation. Overall a good experience but won’t go back for that price.

Drove all the way from long island because I was headed up to the Delaware river anyway. Pricey round at $85 for a Sunday afternoon in the Poconos. Course was in nice shape. A few tee boxes not level. Greens were true but kinda dry and still some aeration beginning of June?? Surprisingly, for a Nicklaus course, there really was not one memorable signature hole. Kinda plain. Pace was brutal. Somehow there was a 5 some (4 in carts and a walker) playing ahead of several 3 somes. Wound up with 5 groups on the 18th par 5... yes 5 groups on one hole and you could see all of them from the tee lol. Not a bad track if you're in the neighborhood.

Really enjoyed the round! Only 6 golfers playing beside myself I guess because the temperature was 45 and cloudy but no wind. I drive an hour and a half from North Jersey to play this wonderful course! Great layout challenging and well taken care of not to mention the great price $33!

Excellent layout but greens look like they were aerated a week prior so a bit bumpy. Proshop staff very rude right from when we first entered the proshop. They seem bot to like to much golf now clients in their facility is what i got from all this..... love the course but would never come back

First time playing this course after having heard about it for a few years. The layout is very good. Not much water at all but each hole presents its challenges. A few blind tee shots, especially early on the front nine. The layout demands you shape the ball in either direction if you want to score well. There are classic Nicklaus left to right doglegs, but also some holes where you have to draw the ball.

Fairways and greens are in good shape with the greens being sneaky quick despite the ball marks and high foot traffic. Fairways are generous but most of the holes narrow as you get closer to the green. Depending on the pin positions, you have to be very precise with your iron shots to avoid trouble around the greens.

Only complaint is pace of play. It was horrendous, five and a half hours. The rangers came by a few times but did nothing, which I don't understand. On the fifth hole a good pace came to a halt as there were three groups on the tee. Absolutely ridiculous. From then on it was very slow. The group in front of us had a guy who could barely hit the ball. He had no business being on a golf course, let alone one as difficult as this one.
