A little dark, but black bear in a dark tree, hole # 6...appropriate for Black Bear Golf Club! Photo submitted by relivgolfers on 09/29/2013
Interesting course
Always play the bear when visiting Orlando area. Memories playing the Bear with the Lake County golf league and also playing the bear with my wonderful wife who passed in 2021.
Nice day with my friends
Greens were in good shape but a bit slow took a few holes to gauge speed. We were very surprised to see one green totally gone, hope to see it recover in near future. Fairway and rough were very playable. I fine this is one of my favorite courses to play for the many different shots you have to pull off. I will return it's a good tract.
Black Bear
This is not about Black Bear booked thru golf now had an emergency come up couldn't play Golf Now refused to give refund will never book thru Golf Now again
The Bear
Haven’t played Black Bear in 3 months and I was very happy with the work the owners have put into the course. It was good 3 months ago but it’s even better now. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are really good. The green on hole 6 is the only real issue, but it’s one that has been around for a long time and they are working on it. I always have a great time playing there and look forward to my next round!
1 and done.
Needs major repairs. One green is absolutely unplayable. I'll tell you here because course won't. Picked up my ball and drove to next hole. Course should be charging $20 to play at most.
Da Bear
Great course to play!! Very challenging and very nice course. Really enjoy playing somewhere that's different and not like most courses around. Only one bad green, it was under severe maintence and was extremely sandy. Other than that everything was great!! I will defenitly play there more.
Upgrades coming
Course in good shape except one green on the back nine. Fairways are great! Always been a course in consistently good shape. Looking forward to their TopTracer driving range being completed.
Challenging course.
Considering the heat the course was in good condition.
Great course
First time playing @ Black Bear. Very nice course . Very well maintained, super nice people especially the owner. Will definitely be looking into playing there again .
Needs work
Have played there many times actually had a couple of golf tournaments I put together there, The course has been going down hill for a few years now, They use to have the best practice facility around, but even that is not what it use to be. They are wasting money on Trackman right now instead of putting money into the course where it is needed, the fairways and tee boxes are okay but he greens are terribly slow, the sixth green is nonexistent, I hope this course comes around because it can be fun.
Awesome Track
Course was in great shape.. #6 green is the only blemish on the course. They are installing TrackMan, should be completed mid to end of July. Fun to play. Typical Pete Dye course.
good fairway turf
Fairway turf mostly good. off fairway weedy.
Some greens damaged and patched. Otherwise painfully slow needing cut and rolling.
Fair value to price.
Course Conditions!
I've played the course before the 6th hole was looking great now its a problem all over again. What's the issue with the 6th hole? The course overall wasn't bad most the holes needs rolling grass was a little to thick on the greens. I hope management reads this review there is no water or washrooms on the course. It should be illegal to run a Golf course as hot as Florida gets without having any water or an ice bucket on the cart to put bottles of water in to stay cool and hydrated on the course while playing golf. I hope management will at least put ice bucket on the Golf cart they have "sand" buckets. Where's the ice bucket? It was hot out today had a great "Father's Day" round despite not having an ice bucket on the cart for ice to keep things cold.
