Black Bear Golf Club

Teeboxes fairways and greens in very good condition. Average pace of play. Great staff. Several challenging holes. Very nice practice areas.

The course is in good shape. The greens were ok, but not fast. The bunkers were either wet or hard, but it rained a lot in the last couple of days. Still a nice course, hilly and challenging

Always a wonderful experience. Staff is very friendly. Challenging course in great condition.

Green fees are a great value.

Too much walking from cart paths to greens, green side bunkers, apron areas, very undulated and it certainly wasn’t to maintain a manicured appearance, because it was just in average condition. Also staff tried to push us along because a twosome behind complained. There was zero substance to the complaint. Based on the score card they expect a round to be played in 4 hours and 12 minutes, our foursome finished the round in 3 hours and 58 minutes AND we had one walker. Too many other courses to bother with this one ever again!

Have played this course several times throughout the fall and winter months and it remains to be in excellent condition, one of the best in the area. Has lots of good healthy grass on fairways and greens, which putt very nicely.

Sad to say but the greens as poorly as the where where the best around .

Sad state of affairs for the courses in center Florida

Good layout but a turtle speed of play.

Greens were like worn out turf.

I enjoyed playing Black Bear. It is a great layout but very challenging. It was in good condition. This greens were very difficult. But all in all an enjoyable round.

It’s not the Ritz or the Waldorf - but extremely affordable for a great challenging layout.

Always a fun and challenging course. Greens are fast and roll good and will definitely make you think. Layout is great and staff always friendly and helpful. Put this on your list to try you won’t be disappointed.

Took us by surprise. It is a links course designed by P. B. Dye . Plenty of sand traps, elevated and undulating small greens with rolling fairways. We unfortunately picked a day that was 55 degrees w/20 mph winds which made it an even greater challenge on an already difficult track. We were still impressed by the course which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere!

Nice track, lots of rolling hills and lots of sand bunkers. Only water on hole 18, the work is the the tight Fairways and close to 100 sand traps/bunkers. All the greens are elevated, small, and fast. Not a good track for the high handicapper.

Not my first time on this course but have not played it in four years. I really like the layout, fairways nice, greens in good shape very very fast to putt on, not a good putter on greens this fast, not the greens fault but mine.

Anywhere off the fairways was rough and not well maintained. Many bunkers and all need some maintenance attention. A lot of players did not bother to rake bunkers, more rakes would help with that issue.

For me this course was a great value and a good challenge, going to play it again soon

Greens were faster than usual, and I have always enjoyed playing this course. However, with the check-in person not wearing a mask and with no screen between him and the customers they have lost this regular customer until after the pandemic.

Hope you have fun with your driver because after that the fun stops. Bunkers are tough even if they were raked but most were not. Very fast greens with lots of undulation. .

Another course that caught me by surprise. The designer must have had a serious attitude when he designed this course because it is reflected in the layout. Course management is a must. Aesthetically speaking, you won't be impressed. Nothing really exciting to see.

Greens were hard and fast. Fairways played soft with moderate roll. Well defined roughs.

Play from a responsible tee box.

Fabulous course and wonderful experience. Looks as if they are really making efforts to keep course conditions at top level. Loved it.
