The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course

Glad I had a cart, lots of distance between the holes. Course was in decent shape, pace of play is awesome

I liked the course better before they chopped it up, but it still makes for a nice day of golf. Hey guys, fix your ball marks.

Fairways are not as good as in previous years. Pace of play are excellent.

The course was in great shape. The best I have ever seen it. But it was very busy and play was slow.

This course was built 40 some years ago. It is hosted LPGA events and senior events. From Jack Nicholas tease it only measures 6500+ yards. So I played the back tees and enjoyed every minute of it. Par threes were very challenging from there. Some par threes reached over 200 yards. The course over all shape is in great shape. A little confusing at the bag drop off and you practically have to give your left arm to sign out for cart.
I played very well even par through 17 holes and then there's number 18. 18 is a par five with water in front of the green if you want to reach the green in 2 you better get a blazing second shot. Otherwise it layup to 70 yards and a nice Sandwedge to the green.

Play the back tees it's well worth the experience. Get your moneys worth and have a lot of fun. Bunkers are everywhere. It's a typical Jack design. Wide fairways and very protective greens.

Played grizzly first time in 25yrs yesterday at 7:20 am. Pace awesome, greens putted perfect 12 one putts from everywhere and Andy (golf professional) and support staff where very friendly. Most enjoyable round w son and weather was perfect as well.

Spending a long weekend away from home I found the time to treat my son to a round of golf at The Grizzley. Having played several Nicklaus courses around the country, adding this to the list would be a nice adventure. I made the tee time through GolfNow and ventured to the course

Upon arrival, we were told that our rental clubs would be available at the Cart Barn so we went to retrieve them. A very grumpy man with no degree of customer service handed us two sets of mismatched clubs in a set of bags that were filthy and aged. When I inquired about different clubs I was told no options were available. Problem number one.

The course itself was fine, tee boxes and greens were well maintained, although the rough could have used a cutting. Problem 2 was the clubs provided were so bad, our games never got into a rythym. After mine holes of frustration we returned to the cart barn to inquire on other club options. We were instructed back to the Pro Shop where we were offered a Calloway option but by that time we were too frustrated to take the offer. On the positive side the pro did return our rental fee.

Lesson learned, ask about club rental option before making your tee time. It is the difference between a great or awful golf experience.

We made the turn in 2-1/4 hours. tOok 2-1/2 mroe hours to finish. sO pace was slow. sTaff very frreindly, course in oks hahape.

Course is in excellent condition, pace was very slow on the back nine (almost 3 hours)

Great course for the value. Course and bunkers were in excellent conditions. Greens were great

Great service Gabby at the bar is always awesome.
Course in good shape, group of hackers in front of me crated for a longer than necessary day.

Course was in good shape, greens rolled very good! They need a ranger on the course as pace of play was slow, the group in front of us was 2 holes behind. Course was a bit short from the blue tees, but still had some challenging holes.

Houses extremely close to all holes. Fairways and greens were in pretty good condition. Staff in pro shop and grill not so friendly. Enjoyed the day, but expected a lot more.

I play this course several times a year and always enjoy it. The weekend pace of play however is usually slow so weekdays are recommended. I decided to play on the spur of the moment this Sunday and was able to get a tee time on GolfNow.com. I went on line at 11:45am and got a 1:12pm tee time for $27. I was hooked up with a twosome who paid $42 each. Not bad!

Course is always in good condition. Although I support a good walk every now & then, I wish they would pick certain days & not allow walking due to the distance btw some of the holes. If you haven't played here yet, I highly recommend it.

This was an extremely good experience. The course was in great shape from the greens, fairways, and even bunkers. I will definitely be playing here again

I enjoyed the course. The layout was enjoyable and it was in really good shape. The greens were tough but in great shape. I can not wait to play there again

very few courses around Cincinnati are as nice for the money. I have played this course several times and haven't had a bad experience yet. The fairways can be challenging because of the houses but not overly difficult to find off the tee. Water hazards and sand traps were strategically placed and in great shape. My only issue was I found many sand traps which some contained medium sized rocks, nothing you want to swing your club over. Water is hard to find here while playing I suggest bring at least 2 bottles of water with you. The guy that drives around the water came around on the 12th and as we finished up on 18 so load up on the turn. Staff was friendly and made delicious food at the turn. Course conditions were good, greens were well maintained. For the price it's a solid deal and I will keep going back.

This used to be a nice course. It not terrible now but its not as nice as it used to be either. Everything around the property looks worn out. The greens, the fairways, the tee boxes etc. Bunkers are improved but this course has a ways to go if it ever gets back to what it once was. I likely will not return unless I hear things have turned around. Its a shame because this course has the potential to be one of the better ones in the Cincinnati area.

The course is in great condition, the sand traps are fluffy but have a lot of fairly large rocks in them. Be prepared to lose at least a couple of balls if your precision is not absolutely on...
