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.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us! Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round!
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.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round!
Thank you for taking the time to review us Mike. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Bear Slide Golf Club thanks you!
Good
My only knock on this course was pace of play. There are a couple of choke points on the course, HOWEVER there were two rangers out there today pushing play and we played in just under 4 hours. I don’t expect guys to run to their ball but of you are a 30 handicapper 7 practice swings isn’t going to help.
Played under 4 hours and knocking pace of play? When the course is full? In a group of 4?
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Bear Slide Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for the review. When the pro shop reports rave reviews, what in you opinion gave the conditions a "good" so we can try to address and get that to "excellent" the next time?
Fun Course in excellent condition
BearSlide is always a challenge. Every time I play it there are different lies with different shots. Greens are excellent with subtle breaks that are sometimes hard to read. Condition of the course is excellent. Definitely worth the drive if you like a little challenge in golf.
Hello, 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.

Great test of golf
I have always enjoyed playing Bear Slide. The course is tough but very fair. Large fairways with trouble if you venture out of them. The greens are always the best we play on every year. I rated the amenities a 4 but honestly don’t have need for them. The Staff is incredibly nice and helpful

Excellent course.
I always enjoy playing Bear Slide when I can get a good Golfnow rate. The layout is challenging but fair, the greens are excellent and it is a lot of fun.
