Black Bear Golf Club Great Place to Play a Round

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.

Another Great Day at Black Bear

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!

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.

Needs work

Great layout. Small, well protected greens. Greens were a little sketchy with some bare and weedy spots, Tee boxes had been overseeded and were in good shape. Fairways, as happens in late fall, were patchy.
