Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run

Pace of play was a problem. Tee of time 12:32. Quit after hole 13 at 4 hours. We saw a ranger probably 3 or 4 times but nothing got better as the round went on. I did go in the clubhouse and spoke with the gentleman at the desk to explain our issues. He was understanding and did give me 9 hole rain checks for our group. Never really got an explanation why play was so slow. We live in Indigo and have never seen it this bad at Golden Bear.

We came to Hilton Head for our 2nd annual girls’ golf outing. Although, our group was a little smaller this year, we still had a foursome. This course was challenging, but not too hard, in fact, I scored better than normal. I would definitely come back and play here again.

Greens were a little bumpy but rolled ok, fairways were a little chewed up but reasonable for October.

Superb course in HH. Got teamed up with 3 great golfers of varying skill level. Pleasure to play the course. Pine straw will hide balls and stay on fairway or the rough will make it a long long day and take some balls.

Golden Bear is an interesting golf course on Hilton Head Island. Price point is good. Very good conditions. Pace of play is terrible. No range ring in place.

Course is in great condition. Quick greens, nice fairways. The only thing missing is GPS on carts. I enjoyed it enough to play again the next day. I would recommend this course when you are on the Island.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was good and the course was in good shape.

Average course, the starter was nice and informative a few holes in we get a drive y from the course marshal and says we are on the “naughty list” for pace of play. But we didn’t seem to be holding up the people behind us. As we made the turn once again our pace of play was commented on so we asked if the group behind us could play through. They marshal stated yes they should since we were 6 1/2 minutes behind schedule. I’ve never been to a course where 6 minutes is an issue, but we were in no rush and went in to get a drink and use the bathroom. Came back out and the group behind us still had not came through so I’m not sure we were the naughty slow group. A average course but there’s plenty to choose from in the area and the overconcern about pace made it a place that I will probably pass on next time.

We were backed up three groups deep on every single hole we played. It was absolutely ridiculous that they let it get so backed up! When we finished over 5+ hours later the guy we spoke with said they had a tournament group and two bachelor groups playing and he apologized for the slow play! Won’t be recommending this course to anyone.

We had an 11:04 tee time. We did not get to tee off until 11:30 with a group of 24 golfers in front of us. We waited substantially on every hole. Finally after three groups behind us quit their rounds early and it was 4:30 (5 hours} and we had been waiting over ten minutes while the group in front of us searched for ball, we quit and skipped the last two holes. There was a group searching for balls within tee shot on 18 when we got there. 18 looked like a great hole and I was sad to not get to play it. Thus we will never play there again.

We had to sit and wait at every tee box with at least three teams of golfers backed up at each tee box! There was no Marshall to keep play going and waiting as much as 15-20 minutes to hit a golf ball is ridiculous! It took us over 5 hours to play the course with a threesome. When we finished up the man where we dropped off the cart apologized for the slow play and said he didn’t know why they had scheduled a tournament and two bachelor parties in amongst regular golf play. Will not be recommending anyone to play here for sure.

We teed off about 20 minutes late. Starter said it would open up after everyone got started. He estimated a 2 hr/7 minute front 9. It took 2:45. 2 or 3 groups waiting on holes. Not good. Over a 5 hour round.
