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
disappointed
We've played the Bear many times over the
years. Very disappointed with the condition of
the greens. Slow, bumpy. Little clumps of grass on the greens very poor to putt.
Very unique for Florida
This golf course is very unique and the fact that it is lined with Hill everywhere lots of different elevation which we typically don’t have here. Most places are very flat. The pro shop was full of supplies in goodies. The bar was nice clean and active. I’ll definitely be back. It was one of my favorite spots that I have played. If there was any downfall, the greens were a bit bumpy but this time of year I would expect that.
Poor Condition
The greens are in poor condition., fairways not much better. We ended up leaving after a few holes. I get with the freeze, it presents challenges but charge for a round of golf accordingly and maybe let people know. Another golfer approached me and said he was never coming back. Didn’t understand why until we got out there. Ended up playing elsewhere with playable greens.
Disappointed
Fairway good.
Greens full of poa. If u like PLAYING PLINKO on the greens, go to Black bear. I’ve played golf for 55 years. Never saw a layout like this. I wouldn’t bury my worst friend there.
disappointing pete dye course eustis fl
fairways were dormant and bare in spots- greens had a lot of weeds and crab grass . some bunkers didn’t have rakes.
It appears to be uncared for
Pete Diabolical
Great layout, elevation changes and smaller greens. Only negative was some poa or weeds showing up on the greens
Needs TLC
Black Bear is such a nice course. Unfortunately the greens are far from optimal, too much crab grass and bumpy making it difficult to make putts. I hope management is able to bring them back because the layout is gorgeous. Fingers crossed..
A link course
The layout is ok for a link course, the green is not good, rest course condition is just average
Black bear
Finishing hole leaves a bad taste. Blind layup tee shot to long approach over water. Played into a 20 mph wind. Not fun.
Great course but greens are in bad shape
Always a fan of this course and the staff. Unfortunately there is an inundation of weeds on the greens. They are very bumpy and our group was frustrated watching three footers bump off line.
Hopefully they can get this under control because it is a challenging test of golf.
Unfair greens
Small fast greens! If you don’t land on a particular spot, 3 or 4 putts are good!
Not bad conditions, but not great.
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.
