Great layout

Fun and challenging.... the back nine was my favorite. I found the greens to be pretty quick and if they hadn’t been roughed up due to rains and heavy footed golfers, they would have rolled terrific. I would definitely play again and again but at $65 it is a little more than I can routinely budget

Worth the 2 hour drive!!

Played on July 4th with my son and although it was a 2 hour drive it was well worth it!! Everything is first rate starting with the practice/driving range to the cart/cart paths to the friendliness of all the employees!! Fairways are fairly generous (except a couple of holes on back 9) and greens are medium to large and rolled perfect+ you could hold a green with a well played approach shot!! We were extremely impressed with the layout and flow of the course.

Wished we’d played it sooner than now, but we will be back again & bring some buddies along next time. To get a GN Hot Deal is a steal.

Trust me it’s worth the drive!!

Great course - Conditions are great

I always enjoy Bear Slide. It can get a little wet with rain, but with the recent hot weather, it was perfect. I really like the layout of the course. There are some weird holes on the back, but keeps you on your toes. Definitely recommend making a trip up to this course when you can. If it gets windy, it can be a tough course. Without wind, it is challenging, but fair.

Challenging but fun

Course layout was challenging but fun. Front 9 was a links style while the back 9 was totally different. I will definitely be back.

Excellent Course, Great Value

Great layout, fun to play, excellent condition and superior value for the money. Front 9 is links-style and back 9 is parkland. Nice to have some elevation changes in the middle of flat Indiana. Subtle yet challenging greens in just about perfect condition. It's a pure golf place - it's in the middle of nowhere and the clubhouse and facilities aren't much to talk about (although the staff was great). It really does deserve its very high ranking on golfadvisor.
