Golf Girl CT

Always enjoy playing Golden Bear when I am on the island. Loved the layout and it is usually in very good condition. I played as a threesome with 2 other ladies. A 4th was supposed to be with us, but the starter decided to make 2 twosomes go out ahead of my group. I found that extremely odd and asked why he didn't put them together as a foursome. His response was they would be quicker and out of our way. Unfortunately, they were behind a foursome. We waited on the back nine quite a bit which is unfortunate. Plus, due to the way he let them out, we were 10 minutes behind our tee time. Not cool

Third Course Played

This was the best of the 3 courses played, staff courteous, course had a great variety of holes which requires some thinking.

Pace was good, this was the only course whare we were not pushed by singles, and two somes which we allowed to play through adding to our pace of play.

Thank you to the starter for teaming up any of the above mentioned.

Excellent time.

Nice course design, challenging but fair, good condition, especially post Helene.

Greens rolled nice. Only criticism was the actual hole cuts were very rough and did affect balls as they approached the cup.

The course is in good condition. This is not a difficult course, fairways are wide with very few hazards. Fairways turf is in good condition. The greens are big and contoured, very good condition and little on the slow side. Compares I think to Hilton Head National but a little less challenging. I would recommend playing this course, good value for HH, I'll definitely play it again.

One of the best golf values on Hilton Head Island

Always enjoy a round at The Golden Bear course at Indigo Run. It's a great layout, well cared for, and very playable if you pick the correc tees. We'll be back, for sure.

Nice course and plenty wide for duffers

Expected a tighter fairway course, but most holes had plenty of room. Did have a few strategically placed trees that got in the way of a couple of my drives. Greeted at car by Bryan who loaded our clubs and gave us info and directions. He then greeted us as we finished and cleand and loaded our clubs and chatted with us a bit.
