Black Bear Golf Club

Course was very tough with the pin placements. Not fair and very fast. But we had a great time with the challenge.

Well greens were aerated and there was no notice in the booking! Fairways were fair but weeds and dirt anywhere else up tot he green.sure not a 55 green fee course. Was told they didn’t have the budget to compete with the course I compared them too! Oh well. If it was convenient then maybe 25 round but not a dollar more!

We were a 4 some and played pairs best ball. the course was great. It was out first time here.course was lacking restroom stops. There were a few porter potties. (the ladies did not approve).... the course was not busy at all which was great. pro shop was very well stocked. On our turn the desk guy rushed us and said we needed to pick up the pace. which we were not playing slow for a 4 some as we were play pairs best ball. We were still right behind the pair that was right in front of us. Other than that is was good. we liked the elevation changes and hilliness of the course.

Course layout was a nice change of pace from your traditional flat and straight Florida golf course. There were plenty of giant hills and deep bunkers that made the course challenging. However, the greens seemed like they were under major repair, and no one seemed to care about repairing their divots which made putting, un "bear" able (haha, new nickname for the course, "unbearable"). If you hit the green, just pick your ball up. The course could have good potential a few years from now when they get the greens sorted out, but the price they want for such a unkept course is not worth the effort. The staff is another good reason to pick a different course. Everyone seemed to act as if it was a private course and it felt like the "public" folks on the course were treated very poorly. Although at the same time the course did not carry any private course amenities, just some stuck up locals treating people poorly for being on their golf course with the owner being the most rude of them all. Judging by all the available tee times on golf now they have driven all their busiess away with poor customer service. I don't see this course being in business for much longer without some serious changes.

It had been many years since I played the course and had forgotten what a great layout along with the elevation changes it is. It had been raining many hours before the round but found the course drains really well so there was no influence experienced on the course. The staff at Black Bear are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Really enjoyed the round and definitely will be back sooner rather than later to play again even though my residence is about 80 miles away.

I didn’t know what to expect after reading some of the recent reviews. I’m not sure what they saw, but the course was in very good condition, especially for this time of the year. As always, the staff was welcoming and friendly!

Not sure what happened to this place

Had to be ran out of money

Nothing overseeded or maintained well

Minimum efforts to make conditions tolerable

This course is normally in great condition.

This time the fairways was brown and dried out. Greens where average.

Would not recommend playing this course until it comes back, If they would have over seeded the fairways it would have been much better.

The Bear was a good test, greens are very quick so be ware of the three putts,overall a good course!

Good golf course, shame people forget to rake bunkers

There is never a bad day on the golf course especially on a nice sunny day. But blackbear was not in its best condition having played their a number of times. Thank you.

Greens are not great right now but a lot of courses are having the same issue. I did get the price because of a HOT DEAL.

Several greens with virus patches. Rough could have been mown better.

Overall ok condition.

Afternoon rate should be about $25 not $37.
