Golfer Reviews
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.
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!!
Hi, 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.
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.

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.
Golf Now rate? Thanks for the positive feedback on the course conditions. It isn't easy and the Golf Now Rates are killing us.

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
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round of us! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
