The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

stacked up on fairway! #Grizzly Photo submitted by todski26 on 11/12/2012
Well maintained
Course is in great shape fast pace of play but on this one u could leave the driver at home
The course has gone downhill
extremely slow play
fairways and greens in poor condition9/1
Good variety of golf holes
Course in good condition except for marks on greens not repaired. Nice variation of holes with water, trees, target area, and rough. A fair course. Play was a little slow on Sunday.
Nice course
Course is nice, well kept and the greens were fast and true!!! Great deal for 39 bucks!!! Go play it!!!
best course played
was only able to get 12 holes in before getting rained out but got a rain for balance course was in perfect condition and staff was really nice.
Nice local layout
B9 much longer and more challenging than a rather pedestrian F9. Would be a great walking course if tee boxes weren't so far away from previous green. Rough was very dry, making for some crazy bounces.
always great value
always a great value. open yet some challenging holes
Always enjoyable!
This course makes it into our rotation at least 2 to 3 times a year.
With the abundance of good public courses in this area, when we decide to pay $45+ for weekend play we're a little picky. This course never let's us down.
Decent course no pace of play rangers
I've always liked this course but this was my worst experience on it. First a 3 some and a 2 some who were together teed off in front of us but by the 2nd hole they played as a 5 some. I'm a decent golfer but as a single was paired up with 3 guys who play once or twice a year. This is not a course for hackers as they all hit a minimum of 3 houses each along the way. Between the slow play, horrible golfers, and hard to find next tees (recently changed) It was not a fun time.
Aging Course but Exceptional Value
Played The North and West nine's on a mid-Sunday afternoon. What was once an immaculately mainained course has, unfortunately, not been kept up to past standards. Greens were slow-to-average and pretty pock-marked. The course plays extremely short from the white tees (6,000 yards) and is a little more challenging from the blues. Pace of play was excellent, and staff offered mobile water services (which was very nice). Overall, a fabulous value for the GOLFNOW price.
A very fun course to play. So really good scoring holes
Some fun par 4 holes with a good Birdie opportunities
Nice pace of play made for a good day
Challenging
Course is very challenging off the tee. But overall good. greens were true. OB is tight on the whole course dont miss the fairways or you'll be in a backyard taking a drop. great bar!!!
Used to be one of the best courses in Greater Cincinnati .
Best I have seen this course in years . Greens , fairways and traps well maintained . Woman and senior friendly because of lenght of holes . The blue tees played 6200 yds. and was all you wanted . Using Golf Now made it very affordable . Looking forward to playing it again .
No complains, enjoyed the course
First time playing the Grizzly. Good course with an old time feel. Drinking cold water from one of the old water fountains at the tee box on the back nine brought back memories playing golf with my dad as a kid. Best drink of water I've had in a long time. Enjoyed the course.
Good course with great value!
The Grizzly played easy and with good pace, and the value made the course all the better.
Course is fair for all levels of play
Course is long enough for the best golfer, yet is fair enough for the average golfer by having multiple tee boxes. Course was in very good condition and the greens don't have any level areas, always rolling so very few "straight" putts. A good challenge.
Great deal but little slow.
Course was in great shape. Play was little slow. Ranger should have pared up some twosomes to allow for faster play.
awesome course
awesome course, i'll go back again and also recommend a friend
Twilight Price is Perfect.
You can get great rates for a good course if you golf after 4pm.
Excellent Track
Excellent mature course. Greens were in great shape and putted true. They were a little slow the day we played. Fairways were in good shape and a little tight. This is not a course for a beginner. Will be back.
