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
Good change of pace
I liked the layout of this course, which was different than many of the courses in the area. P. Dye layout with a links feel. Only water in play on one hole of note. Lot's of elevated and small greens made good iron play and chipping a premium and where most of the difficulty of the course is. It was not in terrific condition, but played well regardless, with generally good lies and true rolls on the green (though a bit slow). I'd definitely play here again and thought the value was very good. Staff was friendly.
Great course, great time
I try to play different courses in the area and have been meaning to play here. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to play here. The staff was friendly and helpful, even had the starter come look for me to help guide me to the first tee. I got paired up with a player who not only has played here a few times, was knowledgeable about the placement of the pin and the best way to play the holes to maximize the shot. Overall I had a great time and can’t wait to go with friends to play again
Fun Layout with Poor Greens
This has always been a fun golf course for me. Probably I have golfed it 70 times over the years. New management has improved the fairways, greatly raised prices, and done nothing to improve the marginal to poor greens. Yesterday the greens were very slow and had crab grass in spots. Fairways and tees were in good shape, and the practice facility is very good as well.
Course has some unfriendly & terrible staff members
The staff is very unfriendly and not worth a conversation. Our group felt threatened by their approach and despite many attempts, they were coming at us as we were non white. Golf is a game for everyone and the greats of the game have proved that. We felt insecure through the round as one of the staff members was rude and clearly out to make it difficult for us to play. He was completely the opposite with other groups. Don’t go there if you are a non-white.
Foursome had fun
Enjoyed the round. One players first time. Liked course. Couple of greens needed attention. # 6 green seems to be a continuous problem.
Course is being air rated and sanded. Prices are too high for these conditions.
Dare the Bear
Great track, good condition. , actually great condition when compared to their competition
The Bear
Good to very good condition. Wasn't busy at all for a noon weekday time. Nicer fairways. Greens were good - but have been better. They do a good job here. I'll be back for sure.
Black Bear
Good course some green was dry and made it run fast. I’m sure it be corrected. When the price comes down somewhat I’ll be playing there more often even though it’s a ways from home. It’s worth the drive.
This course has a great layout
Other than the greens being a little rough and bumpy, the course (tee boxes and fairways) was in great shape. Will play again in the future.
Wide open course that challenges you with rolling fairways and small greens.
I had an amazing tike playing this course and will for sure return soon. The course has a links style feel, but with relatively small greens and that were the course really test you. Very hard to lose a ball here, but also has fun and challenging approach shots. If you want to freely swing your driver and work on dialing in the irons, this is the place.
Pretty good
Fairways in decent condition. Greens were nice. Tee boxes could use a little work but overall a great day. Would return anytime.
Nice Course & place!
Have to say:
- awesome greens keeper
- nice layout
- clubhouse is stellar
- price is fair!
Kindly,
