Black Bear Golf Club

We love this course! But it's an hour away from us so we don't play as much as we would like. Yesterday was very disappointing because of the condition of the Fairways in the greens. Apparently the hot weather is taking its toll! We will not be back till next year hopefully they will do some repairs.

I have played black Bear many times and the new ownership has done well to keep this course consistently in pretty good condition. They have a temporary green setup on hole #6, and the greens were a little slow but aside from that I was very happy with the course. This is a staple for my weekly foursome. In regards to the slow greens, I excpwct this time of year, many courses will hesitate to trim real close due to the extreme heat.

I’ll play this course regularly!

Booked two tee times, three of our players backed out. 1 hr before tee time Illness. They charged my credit card for the 3 no show’s.

$172.

They told me I should have read the fine print.

The 8 of us normally play there 10 times per year. $4,500

Never again. Good management decision?

Course is in good shape. No issues with the greens or tees. Some of the bunkers could use some work due to the rain. There is a temp green at #6 - but just drive it, wedge it up and take your 2 putt par, at least you will have 1 par on your card. The rough is long, miss the fairway and you will have trouble finding your ball. The greens are very narrow and have plenty of undulation. Black Bear is fun to play, especially in its current condition.

The course was in great shape minus some of the areas on the sides of the fairways that are filled with weeds and void spots.

The pace of play was a bit slow, and finished in about 5 hours. The ranger did not help in speeding up play. Thankfully the beverage cart came around frequently..

I love this place, play here often and it is challenging. Course is in great shape compared to others around Central Florida, worth the drive

I had not played this course in a while. Hands down its the best course in the area. Great layout. They are working with some of the greens but once work is done this is one of the best courses around

I played black bear in the USGA Pub- links qualifier about 16 years ago and it was a great golf course in phenomenal shape. I just played again today and I'm sad to say that it has really gone downhill. The greens were so slow that you could barely get a putt to the hole and the rough is overrun with weeds. The bunkers, it looks like they've just given up on trying to keep there in shape. The pace of play was great because there was literally no one else out there. I really hope that they can get this course back into better shape because it truly was a fantastic golf course back in the day.

I had higher hopes but terrible disappointment. WEEDS Everywhere. Such a shame this course is not closing soon. It appears it should be shut down. !!!!

another course in central florida that won’t spend money to maintain conditions. greens are laughably slow. weeds and dirt around greens. hole 6 has a temporary green. so disappointing. won’t be back in awhile.

The layout is great! It's really open off the tee, except for well placed fairway bunkers. Then the raised green complexes are very challenging with unique shapes, multiple levels, and lot of interesting contours. Overall the course is in great shape!

Rough and bunkers needing some TLC. Many bare spots in fairways and rough.

This course has the potential to be top notch, it’s just poorly maintained.

1 green is unavailable so they made a makeshift one on the fairway. Very hilly course and had many very low lying areas that pool quite a lot same with bunkers

Unlike most courses here in Florida, this is NOT flat. Very hilly fairways will either reward or punish you. Well placed shots are a must. Greens were in great condition except for one that was being worked on. I haven’t played here in years and it was great to play it again. I recommend playing it.
