Black Bear Golf Club

The only drawback was that we found it difficult to get to, and that may put some visitors off, but once we arrived the staff were friendly and the course was in good condition. It has numerous mounds so you didn't know where your ball may end up!

We were excited to play the course until we found that all the greens were punched…bright note the course used the small holes. This was not indicated on the website or mentioned by the staff. I was surprised because of the full price green fees. The staff at checkout are not very friendly. On the positive side…good course layout and newer golf carts!

Played this course on a recommendation, the course is nice but with dry weather hard ground. Bunkers were sub par. If you like to hike to your T box definitely a place to go. Most had steep Hike with no steps on the white as that is where I played from. Greens and all the course needs water and some care.

Course is challenging for sure, at first glance it appears wide however many holes had steep sides or many bunkers. Speaking of bunkers, hard sand and none cared for sides with grass hanging and vines made it a challenge to say the least.

Pace of play was good, we arrived early and still waited for our T time, a foursome in front of us were quite slow but expected.

I’m glad to have tried this course and will try again after some rain for sure. Glad I have golf now and golf pass for the rates or I would have been pretty upset because it would surely have been to expensive for the quality you should expect.

Rushed to hit range balls to make tee time even though we had 20 min untill time time. This has happened multiple times. Won’t be back and won’t tell friends to come.

Relatively though course with undulating fairways, small elevated greens. Most greens were in good shape; fairways were hard due to dry weather for the past few weeks.

The greens were in decent condition but are very small. The pot bunkers are on every hole. Take your own drinks. There was no drinking water on the course and no refreshment cart.

Played Black Bear and had fun would recommend , I was just wondering why years ago there were a lot more nice courses on Golf Now and now there are very few ?

Played a couple years ago and the greens were pretty rough but they look good now

Like the layout of this course. Challenging but not over the top. Some of the Greens were a bit patchy and could roll little better, but overall the course was in decent shape. It has improved quite a bit over the last few plays here. Will definitely keep coming back!

Course is typical for winter golf in Florida on a course that is not overseeded. Fairways are tight. They are starting to get an invasive grass on greens, making them bumpy in spots. It is still a good course to play. I go back several times when in Florida.
