Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run

Nobody behind us, nobody in front of us. Smooth pace of play and gorgeous course layout.

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

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.

Very playable, would be nice to have yardage on cart, I did have a garmen and played with others who knew the course. Enjoyed the great conditions of the course and green complexes.

Thank you for a great 9 holes.

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.

Mike in the pro shop made our experience amazing! All the staff were incredibly friendly and course is in great condition.

Im not much of a review guy but this course deserves it. I visit from Maryland 2-3 times a year and this course is always one I play. The greens are always in great shape and fast which is the most important thing for me when finding a place to play. The rest of the course is always in really great shape and it’s a fun track. I’m a 8 HCP and this place always test that in a really fun way. It has and will continue to be my goto course each time I visit.

From the time we got there it was fun! We were greeted by a guy named BK (BRian was his real name and he gave us the ins and outs of the course.). Then the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The course was outstanding and we created great memories there.

I signed up to play here with my son on GolfNow. I sent my clubs and shoes to the club via ShipSticks. We arrived at least 30 minutes before our tee time to find only one staff member in the pro shop and a line that was 6 people deep. By the time all those in front of us checked in, we only had 10 minutes until our tee time. I told the staff member about our reservation and my clubs sent by ShipSticks. My clubs were nowhere to be found. He told me they had arrived, but had no explanation on where they were. I quickly had to pick out a rental set that was too short for me (I’m 6’-6”), but some balls and play in my tennis shoes. We had to hurry to get to the first tee with no warmup. We were greeted by a starter who told us how to order lunch at the ninth tee and out of bounds rules. We noticed several staff outside (starters and marshals) and could not understand why another staff member was not assisting in the pro shop. Seemed like a poor use of resources. The course was an okay layout and could be fun to play earlier in the season. The greens were slow and the traps had heavy gravel that sprayed onto the fringe and greens from shots played from there.

The highlights of our round were the nice couple from Colorado that we played with and the responsiveness of the guy in the clubhouse that prepared our lunch at the turn. I had previously played a Nicklaus course in Colorado and unfortunately this experience was not even close. I contacted my home pro and he was able to track down my clubs. They were picked up by a courier a day before I played without an address shown where they should go. I can’t believe a resort course would not have a more organized system for guests traveling to play their course.

Staff was super friendly. We played as a foursome the day before thanksgiving. Course conditions and pace of play were excellent. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hilton head.

Primary issue!! Have the ranger do his job. At one point on a Par 4 we had one group on the green, one on the fairway and two waiting. You have to do a better job of controlling pace. One group ahead of us was a five-some ( on a Saturday!). The 5/some was not the problem but that is a definite perception issue. We had 12:40 Tee-time and we finished in the dark.

Love this course condition/layout. We will return.

Nice course, nice layout, tees and greens are ok. The greens were about 90% recovered from aeration.

Have played Golden Bear many times and thoroughly enjoyed it, When we booked this time no one told us that it had been recently over seeded and was cart path only, This created great difficulty as my husband has difficulty walking. It actually ruined our day. I think this info should always be included.
