Style Woodland
Par 72
Length 7014 yards

Jack Nicklaus designed the golf course at the Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run. The 18-hole, public course is touted as having one of the best layouts in the area. The par-72 course offers 7,014 yards of challenging and fun golf. Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run's design emphasizes strategy rather than power. Sand and water hazards add interest to the course. In addition to providing a great game of golf, the course also has picturesque scenery with the many oaks and pines that snake though the course. It has been named one of America's Top 100 Courses priced under $100.

Golden Day To Golf

This was my first time playing this course, but compared to others in the area that are priced comparable, it was way above them. The conditions were excellent in all areas. I teed off at 11:30 and the pace of play was very good. I will be returning and playing this course again.

Good solid course

GB at Indigo Run is always in good condition and a fair price for low country golf. It's not overly difficult and if you're hitting it okay then you can shoot a good score. Staff was extremely friendly and made good suggestions for local food. I would recommend for your next trip to the island!
