Bear Mountain Golf Course

Opening day, 38 degrees, clear skies.

The course is in fabulous shape considering the long hard winter. The Greens are slow and still need to fill in some aeration holes. Fairways are green and mowed short. The bunkers are full of sand. Mostly narrow fairways lined with tall pines and a creek type water hazard full of growing willows running throughout the course which makes driving a challenge. If you play golf and visit Big Bear... Bring your clubs and enjoy the golf.

We went late in the afternoon to avoid the heat and it was great. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Be careful selecting your clubs! The ball really flies in the altitude.There was a couple playing pretty slow ahead of us but we were enjoying the scenery and it did not bother us.

Fun mountain course that had several challenges that made it fun.

A bit pricey for a 9 hole or 18, but it was a good experience, nice staff, and good time.

I booked a tee time for 03/30/18. I drove over an hour to play and when I showed the course isn’t open for the season yet. Not sure why golfnow would have tee times listed for a course that is not open. Still waiting to hear back and receive a refund. Not good business!

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon for a reasonable hot deal price. Wish the course was 18 holes. Would have liked to keep playing!

We liked this golf course. However too bad it isn't 18 holes.

Had a great time on this course. Staff was very friendly.We played at 5pm and finished at 6:30. Will play this course many more times in the future!

Enjoyed this course and the cool weather...the atmosphere and the scenery is fantastic!!'

Great 9 hole course. Played it twice for 18. Greens were perfect as were the fairways. Good shot placement helps a lot. Stunning views.

Just needs some tlc I think & would be great & friendly staff wouldn't hurt anyone

The course is in very poor condition. The green on no. 3 had a tarp covering it and there were gopher holes all over the course. I've played this course when it's had better days.

I spent a lot of time looking around at all the great Mtn views. The course isn't surrounded by a ton of homes. Fast pace of play and wanted to stay all day. The 8th hole was epic. I really liked the pond in front of the Par 3 green. My ball seemed to fly a few yards further, due to the thin air.

Did not expect a fantastic course, but the green was extremely horrible. It was like fairway.
Overall course condition was okay.
If management keeps the greens like this, no recommend this course to play.
One minor thing was cart sign up procedure.
I thought the driving electric cart here is very dangerous, due to either cart itself or course.
Had to take very long to sign up for cart thru computer which is not almost useless.

This is the second time we have showed up only to find out they aerated the greens. Some greens had so much sand you couldn't see the grass. The course should notify golfnow that way the customers have the option to book or not. It was like putting on the beach

I was pleasantly surprised with the course conditions. Fairways were great, greens were also in good condition. Course is short but tight on many holes so accuracy off of the tee is important..

I used Golfnow.com to book both 9 hole rounds on my week long visit in Big Bear. Both times I got a very chilly reception in the pro shop..

Great course to play in whenever I come up to big bear in the spring and summer. The fairways are always taken care of and in great condition. The rough is challenging at times but makes it fun. I gave the food an average only because I have yet to order their food. But I'm pretty sure it would be good.

9 hole course is in very good shape... with some challenging holes especially #8..blue skys, peace and quiet, and fresh air...visit the grizzly bear family at the zoo too while you are in the area...as well as Captain Anchorage for prime rib and Hacienda for Mexican food. Both fantastic restaurants. It was a great weekend in the mountains, and a definite mulligan "do over"
