Mid-week round

Course in good shape. Heavy rains left casual water on some holes. Sand traps are going to take a lot of work.

Challenge

A bit of a drive but worth it to Dare the Bear. Challenge yourself. Bring plenty of balls. Repair your divots and take care of the place for others and for future play! This is a nice course let's keep it that way!

Must play

I highly recommend this course for value and challenging layout. The course is in great shape tee to green. We played early and got around in just under 4 hours. Everyone from the pro shop to the starter to the beverage girl was pleasant. This is one of my go-to top 3 courses now.

Great As Always

Course is always in great shape. It was full due to it being a weekend and great weather, so the pace was a little slow. 4 1/2 hours. But that’s expected. I will always come back to this one.

First Time Playing

Hills Do Exist in FL

Had an amazing round of golf. We ventured an hour north of Orlando, FL and were transported to a stunning, hilly, challenging course reminiscent of Pennsylvanian courses.

This family of four loved the challenges of the course, the picturesque setting and the company. Kiddos are free after 1 PM with a paying adult - #winwin.

The Pro Shop Staff was super friendly and helpful. My only critique of the course is that unfortunately, we were unable to recharge with a quick meal between the front and back nine (and the attitude of the bar staff was lacking the pleasantries we received with the other staff.). Meal stops are critical when playing with kiddos who don’t have the stamina as adults, but we snagged a hot dog and adapted.

We thoroughly enjoyed the course, scenery and conditions and can’t wait to return!

Great Conditions

Played Black Bear today and the entire course was in exceptional condition. A bit rainy but needs a course warden. A 4 some jumped in front of us on the 4 th hole. We waited every hole till we finished. They never offered to let us through even though there was nobody in front of them and people behind us were quite annoyed
