Golfer Reviews
Bear Slide still a gem
Not sure I've ever seen the fairways in as pristine shape as today. Greens soft . . . maybe too much so? Regardless, this is my favorite piece of property in the state of IN. Walking in mid to upper 80s was a workout but we were ready for it. The closing holes were the tough stretch to walk.
Thanks for the great feedback. The crew really appreciates when I pass the comments along. Have to water a little heavier sometimes as our college and high school kids are gone. Not enough staff to back off on the water and drag hoses to hit the dry knobs etc. like we can when in the summer.
Hi, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear Slide Golf Club.
Beautiful course
Love this course set up with the front nine a links style course to the back side like a western (US) golf course. Plenty of tee options for the difficulty level you would like. Greens and fairways in great condition. Even in the world of covid the bunkers were in great condition.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great golf course
I play Bear Slide 8 to 10 times a year. The course is always in great shape with excellent greens. It is challenging yet very playable and has resulted in some of my best and worst scores.

Amazing Gem in Cicero
My wife and I played today and absolutely loved Bear Slide. Challenging yet fair. Wonderful condition and an amazing value. Highly recommend! Messed up the last 3 holes...B,B DB still shot 77. Thanks Bear Slide for a 3 hr round!

Nice course with good variety
I've played the course several time. I enjoy the contrast between front 9 and the back 9. The back 9 is more wooded and the front 9 is a little more links style. If I had one pet peeve there's a couple holes where you can be in the fairway and not have a very good shot at the green. If I hit the fairway I don't think I should need to hit a 30 yard hook to hit the green. That's being nit picky though, it's a nice golf course and I'll for sure be back.
Thank you for your review of us! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Bear Slide Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Painted Greens
Course was cart path only today. Many fairways were soggy. The greens were in good shape so not sure why they were painted .The course would have been much better if played with drier conditions.
Hi Tom. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Bear Slide Golf Club.
Thanks for the review. Only good because of the wetness? Most reviews have been great. Yea, that happens when there is 1.7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours which is why very few mowers were out. Not paint on the greens. There was a sign at the first tee warning of the spray application that was made. Most responsible applicators include spray pattern indicator dye in their greens mixes. This helps to avoid missed spots to protect against diseases, even fertilizer coverage, etc. It also helps avoid overlap, which depending on the product could be a bad thing for the turf or wastes expensive products. This particular product is a little more permanent as it also has a plant sunscreen to help the plants with surviving the summer extremes
Beautiful & Challenging
This course has a beautiful mix of links and parkland style holes. There are some good elevation changes with bunkers and hazards strategically placed. Course conditioning was excellent. The greens rolled true and at a good pace with just the right amount of nuances to keep you guessing. The staff was friendly & professional. The only negative is that the clubhouse is showing its age and doesn't appear to have been updated in a very long time if ever. However, the rear deck provides a great view overlooking the finishing holes and is a nice place to gather for a post-round beverage. A great overall experience and a must play when in the Indianapolis area.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round of us! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great Course for Casual Golfer
This course was a great course for someone like me who golfs casually. Playing from the White tees allowed for some mistakes off the tee but didn't punish to the point of frustration.
There are some very fun, challenging holes with some very pretty back drops on the back 9. Great course.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Yardage
AWESOME COURSE! You need a range finder, the course is not marked for yardage very well. Make sure you bring extra golf balls especially if you spray the ball a little. Visibility is challenging due to tall grass and mounds. Not surprisingly if you hit it in the fairway, you find your golf ball!!

How much more is needed? Every fairway sprinkler between 50 and 250 is marked. There are colored plates every 50 yards in the center line of every fairway. There are numbers painted on the cart paths every 50 yards. There are signs on 11 and 15 telling the yardage to the landing areas.
The course has a great layout with great sight lines which test every club in the bag. Must hit fairways and greens or pay the price. Greens were in pretty good shape that rolled with great pace. Enjoyed the round and will be back.
