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

While the course is under restoration, they have access to some temporary holes which adds new dimension to the course and it was in great shape. Staff is some of the best. They are simple one of the most professional and knowledgeable in the golf business.

Under Construction

Course is under construction, but they utilize their Academy 4 holes, so play was very well, except for having to try to figure out which hole was the next one to go to. They had you moving all around the course. Course is in good condition. Some crab grass here and there what they are working on.

Disappointed

I have been playing here for the last 4 years, today I was told I could not get the senior discount because I booked on line. I have never been told that before. Also 4 holes were closed, so had to use the 4 Acadamy holes that were not in good shape. But no break on green fees. I play here probably 20-25 times a year. Probably won’t be back.
