Rating 74.1

P.B. Dye-designed Black Bear Golf Club offers good value and a challenging day. Six sets of tees give you plenty of options. This 18-hole championship facility course, located within 45 minutes of the Orlando attractions boasts of a complete practice facility that includes a double ended driving range, as well as a 40,000 sq. ft. short game area.

Golfers at Black Bear can count on the Dye trademark touches which include sandy waste bunkers, undulating greens and dramatic elevation changes-in short, Black Bear Golf Club is most definitely a "do or Dye" golf course.

Many elevated greens make for a challenging round. Overall the course is in good shape - worth a play.

Good layout (except 18 is a little unfair for a finishing hole.) Friendly staff, especially the ladies in the bar area.

Great Course!

This course is now a must play for my trips to Orlando!

We liked everything about this course!

Some courses struggle to have nice fairways and greens but not Blavk Bear.

Aside from course conditions, everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our round. If we want a well stocked pro shop, they have it. If you want excellent food and drinks, you got it.

Look forward to being back this fall.

Fun course

We played as a 2some on a day where rain was possible so traffic was down. We got around in 3:40. Great variety in holes. Lots of undulations and mounding so some blind shots although mounding often funnels wayward shots back to the fairway. Numerous bunkers, some hidden from view. Bunkers were deep and because of heavy rains in the past couple of days were not yet cleaned up. Greens were generally raised and very small so accuracy important. Some patchy spots although they rolled true. Would have given the course layout a 5, but for the 18th hole, which has a pond across the fairway that is 100 yds to carry with no bailout possibility.

Could be nice

Pace of play was awful and we played at 8am. Nice layout but poorly taken care of, greens 3/5, fairways 3/5, rough 1/5, price 3/5. No beverage cart. Would never come back. Play deer island, same price and way better. This is nothing but a goat track.
