The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course
About
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.

Great course layout
Always love this course . Playing conditions are perfect . Pace of play good .
Great Course and Customer Service
I odered a tee time for Sunday, August 30, 2020 as a single player. Upon arrival, it was discovered that the course staff made an error with my tee time, and it appeared that I wouldn't get to play at all. I travelled from the west side of Cincinnati to play this course for the first time. I was very frustrated with the situation, and expressed it as I walked out of the clubhouse to go to my truck and leave. To their credit, the gentlemen staffing the clubhouse, hearing my displeasure, exhibited excellent customer service in resolving the issue with me. I was able to get on and play, and had a great time playing this beautiful course.
Friendly staff, course in very good condition. Pace of play move at a good rate. Rough is not heavy, well cut.
Always have liked this course but staff was having a very grumpy day.
Always have liked this course, but staff was having a very grumpy day. On my arrival about 11:45am for a 12:10pm tee time I was greeted ok but then told under no circumstances was I to tee off before my scheduled tee time. I'm not sure what brought on this gruffness but I thought it to be rather rude. So I proceeded to the cart barn where after telling the cart guy my tee time was told to take that cart there. Again rather rude. I went to the practice green putted and went to the 1st tee about 12:00 where the 12:10 group was already teeing off. When I mentioned to the starter that I was told not to tee off before my scheduled time he said yeah those guys in there can be as******! I agreed and went on to have a very pleasant round until we caught up with some slow players, after that the round dragged on.
We do enjoy the Grizzly
I have played at the Grizzly for over 10 years. It is the course we probably play the most because it’s a good value as we live in Mason and it’s close to where we live. The course is starting to show some wear on some fairways and greens. We just got back in June so I don’t know how much play they got earlier in the season.
The people who work at the Grizzly are all very nice and very helpful.
Play a Jack Nicklaus legend for public course price
Played the same weekend as the Memorial at Muirfield, so fun to pay homage to Jack on one of his early courses. Distance and landing areas are fair, need to hit your spots and distances to score, as greens are smallish, irregularly shaped, full of undulation and fairly quick. A two-putt is not a guarantee. Fun challenge, I would return.
Fantastic course
Great course for the money... amenities are awesome. Definitely will continue to play here
Great course
Course is in really good shape. I enjoy playing this track.
