Quite expensive for a round of golf, especially when rentals are needed.

Noticed driver head was quite loose. Luckily another player in our group had the tool to tighten it

Satisfying Course

Course layout is tremendous. The pace of play was close to 5 hours. The greens and primary rough are fantastic, the fairways needed to be mowed, but were in good shape. My group pre-ordered food at the turn and wait staff chose to help sitting guest when our food was ready; he kept us waiting so long that half my group walked away to not lose our spot #10 tee box. Very frustrating.

First time playing Bears Best.

Horrid pace of play, Amazing design.

Mixed review unfortunately. First off, this is an awesome design by Jack, challenging yet fair. Great practice facilities, well laid out and easy to navigate around the property. Unfortunately, the pace of play was horrid, flat out pathetic. Should increase marshalling, for a premium course with a premium price @ $280 ISD shouldn’t have a pace of play of an overrun muni course. Would have loved this had the pace not been so horrid.

Good, not great...

The pace of play, for a weekday, was slow. There's something incredibly cool about this course and something off. I can't even explain the "off" part. I like the course but I don't love it. Mostly, it's been more expensive than I think it's worth. I got a very good price from TeeOff so I felt at $60 it was well worth it.
