Bring your game

This track has always been a treasure. The greens are firm and fast. There are at lease 4 par 4's that are a good challenge and 2 par 3's that are an equal challenge so look at the card and choose your poison carefully for an enjoyable round. if you do, you will be rewarded with a great layout and get a good test of your game. Long but fair.

Awesome Course!

We hadn’t played here this year. That said, we have done ourselves a disservice. The course was in great condition and the greens were near perfect. The only bad spot on the course was the 17th green, which has partially burned out. There’s a section where there’s literally no grass. If marked a ground under repair there’s still room to make the green playable.

Beautiful course

A very beautiful course and well maintained. Definitely try and keep it in the short stuff or it will be impossible to get the ball out!! Definitely looking forward to playing it again.

Good shape, old but functional carts

I’ve played Bear Slide a fair amount and this round just happened to be a hot deal so it was super cheap and well worth it. The course is always in pretty good shape. But the normal prime time price of $107 is pretty ridiculous. Unfortunately most public courses in the Indianapolis region have become ridiculously overpriced. You can play most private courses in the area for less if you know a member.

Bear Slide, No Grizzly

Played 18 with my father and we both had a wonderful time. The links style course is challenging but approachable for a higher handicap.

Even though we caught some rain on the front 9, the back 9 was clear and the course showed its true colors. Beautiful fairways, neat bunkers, and greens that rolled true.

I would definitely recommend Bear Slide to anyone looking for great public courses in the Indianapolis area.

Mixed bag

The course, as always, was hard but fair. Greens (FAST!), bunkers, fairways, tee boxes, all in great shape.

The disappointment was that the course had no on course water, no beverage cart & on course port-o-let was out of order. The water jugs in the clubhouse were empty. Little things, I know, but for $95 you expect more. Will I be back? Oh yeah.
