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.

Slowwwwwww

We have been in a league here for years . They send out high school golf teams in front of us…. THREE HOURS and TWENTY MINUTES LATER WE FINISH( NINE HOLES ) Absolutely ridiculous . You would think leagues would have priority, apparently not . Other than Jack the management team here is a joke . Andy one of the pros , complete clown.

Bottom line you take care of league players , they pay the bills. Not one ranger out there to address this situation.

The Grizzly & the geese

Course in ok shape in general but still a lot of goose poop in misc. areas. Not much to do about it but if you’re sensitive to it you might want to play elsewhere.

Clubhouse attitude

Everything was nice about the course except the elderly women in the clubhouse that does the checking in. Their attitude started at a solid 7 upon walking in. Would recommend to someone maybe

good course, not friendly starters

Like the course a lot but last time we went the starter on the back 9 said that we played the front 9 "too fast" and have to wait for 5 groups before going off the back. Thankfully the group coming up next told us to go in front of us and agreed that was a ridiculous statement.

Fun except for Goose Poo! 🤢

The course was in decent shape, except for the bunkers were a bit rough, and tee boxes a little weedy. The greens were running great, and this has always been a fun course to play. However, they have got to do something about the geese / several of the holes are loaded with goose poop. greens and fairways. I know this is an issue for a lot of courses, but it is REALLY REALLY bad here and needs to be addressed as it creates a health hazard. Staff was super friendly and beer selection is great at the clubhouse. With a little more work they could get this course back to its past glory.
