Golden Bear Golf

Great day at Golden Bear, especially for mid February. Fairways were over seeded with rye grass and were green and lush. The greens were soft and reasonably fast. The only drawback was we finished late in the day and holes 16, 17 and 18 played directly into the sun.

Golden Bear is a "Must"

We had a foursone and we truly enjoyed golfing Golden Bear. It started at the clubhouse and their friendly attitude and helpfulness, got us started on the right foot. Once on the course it was just a great golfing experience. Holes can be scored, but shots must be made to make that happen. Speed of play was spot on four our group, and we had an excellend day for weather in February. For a group of flat-landers, seeing some gators out sunning was an added bonus. As we finished we were immediately helped with our bags and continued friendly service. Golden Bear is a must if you are in Hilton Head

Back after several years

The course is much better than I remember from about 10 years ago. First time out since mid November in Massachusetts, and playing here was a great experience.

Picture perfect

The course is always in good condition due to their winter over-seeding. It is challenging for the average player but not punishing. The staff is amazing.
