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.

Wet and windy

Had a great time even in 35 mile winds and rain on the last 7 holes. Fun course to play.

Do NOT Play. It is CURRENTLY unplayable. It should be CLOSED or FREE. The greens are HORRIBLE and it took 4 1/2 HRS long.

The GREED of this management is incredulous. There was no discount for this round even though the course is a MESS. I cannot tell you how bumpy the greens were.

The greens are horrible and the course should be closed. There was no NOTICE of this condition until we checked in. It was so bad I wish I had not played. It was a waste of my time. The holes in the green are due to the annual punching. They should have offered a discount or a receipt to come back later but they did not. Just BAD customer service! I will never go back because of the way this was handled. Course layout is not memorable in the least. I recommend you to never go here, especially at $45. Many other courses in the area is better for this price.

Great course even in Summer Heat

Enjoyed every hole. Challenging but in great condition for August heat. A little confusing layout, but fun nor the less.
