Black Bear Golf Club

It appears to get a tremendous amount of play and maybe that explains the terrible conditions of the greens. Green speed was fast but they were very very dry (which is a little strange considering the course was CPO due to all the wetness). The dry greens seemed to show every spike mark and that made the greens impossible to trust a line.

Did not enjoy playing alone.Had a 1230 pm starting time and was told at noon that I could go out right away since there was a group going out later.The greens were painted and did not have any grass.I like kwick greens but this is stupid.The rest of the course and the layout is nice.

Ever had 45 putts in a round? I did at Black Bear. I should mention that I am a 3 handicap and was, for the most part trying to make each and every putt I faced. Try 18 on the Stimp Meter. It was ridiculous and coupled with the wind (15 - 20 mph) and some tricky pin placements it made for the worst kind of memorable day. I actually liked the course layout but the greens spoiled it. Would I play it again? Why bother?

Very slow play, course condition was good for March, I would suggest an early T time and expect a 6 hour round. I probably will not go back and play this course.

The area was in the coldest stretch of days in "decades". Course allows for the early "let it rip" shots that go off line, yet will test you with shots requiring accuracy.

Started out as cart path only , but later went to 90 deg. There were at ties 2 groups at the tee box one in the fairway and one on the green. Left after the 16th hole, and almost 5 hrs. of play.

Pace of play was great. For time of year conditions of course was good. Greens rolled true. Staff friendly and professional.
Snack bar help was very helpfull. Nice enjoyable round of golf.

fairways were still somewhat green for time of year; greens were remarkably quick and were blue-greenish in color, presumably from overseeding. very nice layout and enjoyable experience although would have preferred carts on fairway rather than cart path only. no GPS, but, yardage insert provided at clubhouse was most helpful.

94/100. was a nice course and great people. Course let me experience the course without a bit of rush in my play at all. will def. be going back.

Have played this course in the summer but never in the fall. Course was in nice shape, completed round in 3 1/2 hours. Staff was friendly & will play here again.

A very nice course with interesting holes and friendly staff. Very reasonable distance to carry fairways for seniors, thank you. Fairways in good condition and greens putted true. Nice weather day in early Nov. brought out lots of golfers which made play a little slow but didn't take away from an enjoyable experience.

Good course lousy drainage. Played after a previous days rain, still very wet with water pooling on most shots. Not their fault lowlying area. OK course for $42 wouldn't pay more.

Staff was very friendly courteous and very accommidating. I liked the layout of the course. I will come back and play the course again.

Great challenge for a long baller,
thick rough
nice finishing hole 18

A very enjoyable course. Layout made it a very interesting round, in addition to my hole-in-one on 13. Will definitely play it again when back in the area.

We actually were rained out on 29 Dec but was rescheduled to pay on 1 Jan. Staff was extremely accommodating with rescheduling the tee time. Would recommend the course to my friends.

Played while on winter break. Had frost delay in am but got out in timely manner. For a lot of rain course in good condition. Greens were in great shape. I guess due to delay and warm afternoon round backed up on back nine( we were second group off in am) I m assuming due to starting off groups on back nine. Delayed an otherwise great pace of play would play again

Overall a good value. A challenging course for the intermediate golfer. Water and tree lined holes allowed for a challange on almost every hole. Was not crowded and was able to get off as a twosome with my best friend, Marvin. We had a great time and would recommend to others while in MB.

Tee time was 130 and we arrived about45 minutes early. We were greeted as if we were regulars and got out on course right away.i only get out a few times a year and found the course just right as far as level of play. The greens were in good shape and not set up to be so fast that the slightest putt went 30 feet which I appreciated.

A great value, not crowded, and a super friendly staff.
