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
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.
Great Course
The course was in great condition for being right in the middle of summer and 94 degrees
Played this course passing through ohio. Course was in beautiful condition. Greens were quick and challenging. 10/10 would play again.
Short course, unfriendly staff
The course layout is very short. Staff books tee times too close together which results in slow pace of play, waiting for groups ahead to finish. Course was in okay condition with bunkers needing major work. Starting staff was very unfriendly and rushed us out only to have us waiting for the group ahead of us while on the 1st tee.
Fun Course - Mean Staff
The course was fun and we had a good time. Not a ton of trees or water, so it is easy to stay out of trouble if you miss the fairway. The starter came out halfway through the round and told us we were very far behind. This was not accurate as our cart said we were ahead of pace. He was threatening to have us skip a hole if we kept being slow. We ignored him and finished our round. We paid $65 to play a course and did not expect that treatment from the course staff.
On the other hand, the lounge had great food and the staff was freindly there. Happy we stopped there for a beer and food after the round.
Subpar course that used to be a top course
This course used to be fantastic and kept in championship condition. At the moment, bunkers are terrible and inconsistent (some are rock hard others have some ok sand), none are in great condition though. Greens are clean but on slower side, this could be due to letting the grow out a bit due to warm weather. The course is trying but it may be too little too late.
Horrible pace of play
Had to quit after a 3 hour nine holes, due to slow play in front of us. Of course I didn’t get a raincheck due to booking through Golf Now.
Nice course - always SLOW play
The GPS system on the carts was constantly telling us that we were way behind (30 min) but the rangers are not empowered to speed up play or enforce the rules. We waited on every hole about a 1/3 through the round. It got increasingly worse. The two groups in front of us were together and there were 2-3 holes open in front of them. They were partying and not paying attention to proper golf play or speed. Average to below average golfers..
Grizzly
After they repair and added irrigate ,the fairways were pretty dry..
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the frustration caused by the GPS system and slow play. We're working to enhance our pace-of-play management to provide a better experience. We appreciate your patience and hope to improve your next visit.
