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.

Bashfuldan

Love this course, pace of play can be spotty at times. Sand traps are in a desperate need for some fresh sand. They are thinning out some of the old trees helping air circulation and course condition. Some tee boxes need some rework as over years, not all are truly flat. The veteran staff are all great and willing to work with you and help.

Early season round at the Mason Golf Center

GolfNow app. allowed us to pick a time when we could tee off ahead of many other groups and with no one ahead of us.

This allowed for a very enjoyable pace of play, but we could also hit multiple shots for an early season practice round to try to improve on certain parts of our games. 3 hours, 20 minutes to play 18 holes.

The course is really starting to green up, but it wasn’t soggy, and the greens rolled very well.

The perfect early season practice round with better than usual course conditions for this time of year.
