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.

Course is under repair . New irrigation . Tee boxes and fairways thin . Greens in great condition .Looking foward to course conditions in spring .
I liked that wooded area on 16 was cleared away.
It’s so much nicer now.

Waste of $55 not worth the extended time of play
Pace of play was terrible. We were on the 1st tee box when a group of 5 roll up saying they were the 930 tee time and it was 10:00 already. The starter let them play in ahead of us even they were 5some and 30 minutes late.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Nice Course
Really nice public course. With the most friendly and enjoyable Course Ranger around. You’re appreciated Mr. Reed!
Course not worth the money anymore
This course has gone downhill over the past few years. One of the holes was completely closed. Two more holes were being worked on with construction equipment running down the side of the hole. Course layout is very confusing with construction and lack of proper direction markers. Didn't hear the severe weather alarm at all when a thunderstorm rolled through. Won't be going back to the course anytime soon.

Not what it used to be
First of all, I enjoyed the day. It has been 15 years or so since I last played here. While my memory may not be the best that far back, the course was not up to that past standard. The tee boxes were not good at all; mostly weeds or dry areas. The Fairways and Roughs were fair but the greens need work. A combination of people not fixing ball marks and dried out dead areas made this not what I expected.
I like the course layout where the shortness is balanced by the tightness. Greens did putt true if the above mentioned problems were not in the line.
I'm glad I played there again but it would not be on my regular rotation.

New ownership course has gone downhill
I have played this course for 10+ years and have never seen it in this bad of shape. I really like the layout and it's a fun course but after not playing for a few years I came back yesterday and the prices increased quite a bit and the course conditions have steeply dropped. A lot of the fairways are dead, the bunkers are mostly pebbles and rocks and the course is dried out badly. Hopefully they can put some money into the course bc for those rates I won't be back any time soon.

Course is under repair Summer 2022
The ball really carried in the fairways- they were pretty dry... Which explains all of the irrigation equipment laying about. There are some areas that are ground under repair as they install the new watering pipes and such. I played from the white tees because I wanted to work on my long irons, which made this course fairly easy.
