The Grizzly Course is a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Since opening in 1972, this challenging layout has been host to numerous PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA events. The golf course features long, curvy fairways lined with towering trees and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. The three final holes feature water hazards, which are also accompanied by a difficult array of bunkers. It offers a fair amount of difficult holes but overall the course is playable for a range of skill levels, which is why it is an appealing layout for tournaments. In addition to the two courses, the Golf Center also boasts an 11,000-square foot putting green and an Academy Course with four championship holes.

Also known as The City of Mason Golf Center - Grizzly Course.

Clubhouse Closed

I was really shocked to see that the clubhouse and the kitchen was closed. It been nice to know that going in. I'm really glad I didn't need golf balls or tees or anything.

Our "home" course in the summer

This time the course looked pretty bad overall. A number of the fairways had brown or dirt spots. Holes 4-7 were cart path only and I agree with them doing this given the conditions. The whole course was wet and greens very wet as you got big ball marks when you got a ball on the green.

This is a great course and we really enjoy playing it but the conditions were not good today. I know the course gets a lot of play and leagues. The staff is great and everyone is very friendly.

I know my comments are not a surprise to anyone who's played here this week.

Worth the Trip

Nice course that plays tougher than it looks. Friendly staff throughout and well laid out course. Would have rated it higher but grass definitely needed mowing; we were losing balls in the deep rough while only 3-5 feet off the fairway. Would play again.
