Fast play and fast greens

I play off the red tee so I was so happy to see the dock that you hit off straight over the water and up onto the green Fantastic wonderful views all around. The clubhouse grill has scrumptious food and a great selection of beverages. A wonderful day overall would recommend and plan to play golf again here.

Greens were awesome. A little fast, but rolled true. Fairways were in great condition. Will play again.

Tee to Greens

Tee to greens is a challenging layout with gullies and water. Greens are extremely quick and full of breaks.

Wouldn’t recommend playing this course

Came to Big Bear to visit and spend time with family. Figured Id go play 9 holes with my brothers. First off, to play 9 Holes was $55 which is a ridiculous price to play 9 Holes. Ive played 18 holes at way nicer courses for less than $55. We rented clubs because we weren’t from the area and the condition of the rentals were terrible. They weren’t clean nor taken care of. The fairways and greens aren’t in good conditions. The fairways aren’t taken care of and are super bumpy. You’re also required to wear Polos at this course which is ridiculous because Ive played nicer courses that don’t require you to wear a polo. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time and money to play at this course if you visit Big Bear.

Fun Course

Only a par 9 but with 4 par 4’s and one 5 par! Makes for a fun round, even had one raised tee box and a par 3 shot straight over a small lake. Also Grass conditions are fair/good. So would recommend playing if your up here.
