Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run

Every time we play this course, there seems to be some type of issue with the staff, one time it was kicking my son of the course because he did not have a collared shirt (he was 9), or this time.

Course was over seeded but we were not informed; cart path only. I played with 5 others from other cities. All had issues. Carts were geo-fenced and stopped multiple time along the actual cart path. Staff were called, reset the carts and then they stalled again. This happened multiple times. Then they just stopped picking up the phone.

They knew this was an issue, but when I asked for a new cart, they just finally put it on VIP. It really wrecked our round again. Guy at Cary return did not say anything when we returned the cart to him.

We played Harbourtown yesterday, everything was amazing, but for Golden bear, seems like they are struggling, we don’t even have these problems at other courses we play all over the world and we play a lot.

Middle of the road course.

Conditioning was so/so and expected better with Jack's name on it.

But for price was decent in HH.

Played a round at The Golden Bear on vacation. Proshop staff got us set up with nice rental Callaway clubs and balls. Course was not un ideal condition because of recent over seeding that was still coming in, but this is a nicely designed course that is challenging for a mid-handicaper, and pace of play was excellent - 3:45.

Fun and challenging course that I enjoyed getting to play. The greens were phenomenal. The fairways and rough were also in very good shape. Some tee box areas were pretty bad but mostly in good shape. Was very disappointed to have cart path only, according to the course due to overseeding. The only other part of the round that could have been better was the tee boxes were combined a lot and made you play at a mystery distance in regard to inputting your round for handicap purposes.

Beautiful day beautiful course bad timing. It had just been overseeded so car path only. This was unfortunate because it was an EXTREMELY long round and we waited on every hole. When we made the turn, there were 2 groups on 10 and we continued to wait. We never saw a ranger on the course which was also disappointing.

Go course layout but tees and fairways were very poor. Would not recommend

Overall I thought the layout was great. The course was just over seeded so it was cart path only so it made for a longer round. All in all this was well worth it.

Took almost 5 hours to play, carts were cart path only. Tees were all chewed up since the markers were all together at the back of the tee box.

We booked on line. No notice on the GB site that I saw they had just over seeded and so cart path only would be in effect. I booked two foursomes at $900.00+ Why no notice? Screw the golfers even if they’re all 80 plus. We didn’t complain cause that’s not our thing and we wanted to play…but were we annoyed… you bet!

If I would of known the course was cart path only due to over seeding, I would on not made the reservation. 12,000 steps and slow play. Did not finish round due to slowness.

Pace was very slow due to cart path only for overseeding. Didn’t see the need for this type of play as the wide tires on golf carts shouldn’t affect seed on the fairways.

So sad a elderly foursome ruined the day for at least 16 of us. Tee off at 230 and qas unable to get 14 holes in. For the price it's mind boggling there isn't a Marshall. So sad wont be back and that's to bad.

Course was in good condition and greens in great shape. The course marshal badgered us for six of the front nine holes threatening to make us skip a hole to catch up. There was no one pushing us and the foursome behind us was over a hole behind. I am all for keeping the pace of play up but it seemed over the top when we were over a hole in front of the party behind us. I just wish we could have enjoyed our round without the constant harassment. One of our group skipped the back nine ias she didn’t feel comfortable playing. The rest of the staff were great but the older marshal with a dark tan was out of line and created an uncomfortable experience.

Nice layout, good condition & friendly staff

but pace of play was very slow. 5 plus hour round.

Some greens kept carts 100+ yards away.
