Difficult course
If your into VERY difficult golf courses...the type where the holes are sometimes unfair then this is the course for you. The course is very nice...well maintained. It is designed to be difficult. Every hole is a pending disaster. Most holes are designed so a slightly off shot kills you in the hole. I did not enjoy the course because of this...being as how I don’t hit perfect shots every time. If your up for the challenge (punishment) though then give the course a whirl. Don’t say you have not been warned though.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Thanks for the positive review of course conditions. We work really hard to get there. Sorry the course design did not suit your game. It can be difficult but it is not even ranked in the top 20 in the state for difficulty. There are 7 sets of tees available to try to help players of all skill levels have a more enjoyable round as well as 80 acres of mowed and maintained rough, which is a lot for most courses, to help with the wayward shot. Hope you give us a try again.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating of us! We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Bear Slide Golf Club!
Great course
Course played challenging. Shot placement is a premium. Ask Pro for course layout book. It makes a difference if you don’t have GPS. weather was 75, sunny and mild breeze. Greens were fast as well as fairways. Rough was longer than I expected penalizing shots, hence shot placement is a premium. Enjoyed was challenged and enjoyable. Will play again. Friendly and courteous staff.
Hernan, 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.
What could improve to turn the good course conditions to excellent? Pro says overwhelming rave reviews. Sorry you though the rough was long but 2.5 inch is average
Great course
My favorite place to play in the area. Great layout, and the price is right.

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!
Great course. Local knowledge important.
Pretty warm and very windy the day I played. Shot selection is very important on this course. Especially on the back nine. Definitely rewards the player that can control his distance. A lot of doglegs and yardages that will leave you between clubs. Greens were firm and pretty fast but rolled true and had little to no bounce in them. Fairways and rough are in perfect shape. Bunkers looked nice but I didn't play out of one so I can't tell you about them. Looking forward to playing here again! Great layout and conditions!

Not worth the price or drive
The actual course is pretty nice. You can find better value closer to town and find better service. Course was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon yet the ranger decided to folllow us the entire front 9. Also, we were pushed out of the clubhouse at the turn despite traffic being light on the course.
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game and will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Bear Slide Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Country Club layout without fancy extras
Course is always challenging and always in excellent condition. Even open on nice days during the winter.
This is all about golf. Pro shop is excellent but no fancy clubhouse. The head pro is almost always on duty.
Conditions are always great but you never see workers out on the course.
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Bear Slide and hope you'll come see us again soon!
Open for play
Golf Now shows the course is closed until April 30. NOT TRUE. Open for play every day. Call for tee times.
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Bear Slide!
One of the best
Can’t even begin to say how great this course is. From the beginning on the practice facility to the final beer after 18, it one of the top public courses in the state. The course is always in great condition. Mark and his staff are friendly and will always work to get you through a successful round.
We're glad you enjoyed your time at Bear Slide, thanks for leaving us such a great review!
Different front to back
This course is great, you have two different nines, which are both in great shape.
Thanks for leaving us a review, Harris. We're glad you enjoyed your time at Bear Slide, and we hope you'll come see us again soon!
Thanks for leaving us a review, we hope you'll come see us again soon!
Thanks. Why only good when everyone has been nothing but complimentary for weeks?
Solid Shape for September
Bear Slide is still one of my personal favorites. Course was in very nice shape for this time of year, though someone had a little too much fun with the sprinklers and really soaked it in front of us. But, they put the work in there and it shows. Well worth the accolades it receives, and worth a go if you're in/near Indy.
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Bear Slide. We look forward to seeing you again next time!
Hi Bellyflops, thanks for leaving us a review. We hope you'll book another round with us soon!
Outstanding!
From the time I rolled onto the course until I left, my experience was first-rate! The staff was friendly, the course beautifully laid out and immaculate. Each hole was a unique test. Many holes had a park-like beauty. Greens were fast and true. What’s not to like?!!
Hi Stevo, thanks for leaving us a review. We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent Course and Conditions - Great Staff
The course was in excellent condition, great staff, nice starter, good amenities. My only compliant is the short grass fairways felt like hard pan. We haven't had much rain, and I am not used to those types of fair ways, but I bladed a few (yes my fault), but I had to consistently play the ball back and one less club because there was no taking divot and the ball wasn't fluffed up. But I would play this course again!
Thanks for leaving us a review, we look forward to seeing you again next time!
Thanks. In 17 years this must be the first complaint about firm fairways. When pretty much 100% of single digit handicappers prefer firm and fast conditions with tight lies to get spin this comment from a single digit player is rare.
Hello, we appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will make sure to inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Bear Slide Golf Club!
