Black Bear Golf Club

Small fast greens! If you don’t land on a particular spot, 3 or 4 putts are good!

Course is in OK shape. It comes and goes depending on the time of the year. Greens were great. Pin placement on 18 at the top edge of a hill was a bit ridiculous, and you could not get the ball to stop at the hole before it rolled back down the hill.

Great layout. Good pace of play. Staff is friendly and helpful. After your round enjoy the « Adult Grilled Cheese « 

This course is in dire need of some TLC! The fairways were decent, but the rest of the course was overrun with weeds. The bunkers were mediocre at best. The greens had decent grass, but it was lumpy, soft, and slow. I played here once a long time ago, but I decided to play again based on the positive reviews I read. It’s a shame because the layout is really cool with a lot of elevation change, especially for Florida.

Played today at blackbear, I’ve read a number of comments in where this is not a traditional style Florida golf course. Although very true, the course is got a number of hills, which makes it challenging and yet allows the average golfer to think about their second and third shots.

Overall, the conditions of the golf course are not bad. The greens are extremely small and very slow. I’m not sure if the maintenance team isn’t cutting them due to the cooler weather, but we found these specific greens to be the slowest that we’ve played on in quite sometime.

Not 100% sure it’s worth the $60 based on the conditions however I would come back and try it again.

It’s totally different than your usual Florida golf course . We will play it again

I play this course 5 or 6 times a year and really enjoy it.

So during my past visit I decided to look at it as if I was a first-timer! As I walked from the parking lot I noticed that the landscaping has been largely ignored, and the American flag was shredded on the end.

As for the course, the fairways and greens were quite well maintained, but for some reason the bunkers are totally ignored. Most bunkers are ringed with foot-high weeds, with many bunkers having high weeds growing within the bunker itself.

NO course should have foot-high weeds anywhere! If I wanted that I'd visit Eagle Dunes!

Get out the weed-eater, clean up the bunkers AND the parking area landscaping and you'll be good to go.

I'll be back in November with hopes of those improvements!

Really enjoy this course, good value, solid practice area.

The 4some in front of us were recording their round like good/good wannabes. Not simply using phones but set up tripods and cameras to record every shot everyone made. They never offered to let us play through and with no Ranger on the course we finally had to skip a hole to get around them. This ruined what would have been a great round on a great course. We won't be back until I hear that this practice has been banned.

Hardest course I’ve played. I wasn’t hitting good, but still. Craters everywhere

tee boxes, fairways and greens in good shape. Worth the trip out to play.

Nice driving range with shot computers too.
