Good But Windy

The course conditions were pretty good, but the windy conditions made it more difficult. No fault of the course, just a bad day.

Love the course

The course is in great condition, from tee boxes to greens. The greens roll fine although they were just punched a week ago. The staffs are very friendly, challenging and fun course!

Love this place

Greens are. Little fury right now. Another 2 weeks with cut n roll after the punch which looks like it happened a month ago. Fairways lush. Great tee boxes. Love this place. One of my favorite tracks around.

Consistently Good

Course was great from tee to green. Yes the greens were punched but to maintain this gem it has to be done. The putts held fairly true regardless. One of my favorite courses and will remain that way. The staff is super friendly, courteous and helpful.

Great course

This is the third time I came back to Black Bear to play. I introduced two new friends to this course, they absolutely loved it. The course is well maintained. The tee boxes and fairways are perfect, grass around the green is trimmed perfectly for chipping. Green is also in great condition just a bit on the slow side. I played the black tee, it's quite challenge. Some holes are long, greens are small, definitely not an easy course for lots of GIR. I'd say this is one of the best courses in its area. Grill room is also well stocked, had beer and some sandwiches, no complain. Will come back play again for sure.

Greens were slow but consistent. Fairways were great. Bunkers are in summer conditions due to rauns. Would play any chance i could. Hopefully greens will be faster and bunkers better next time!
