Worth the Drive

One of the best around without a doubt! This is a challenging course that requires you to think and execute your shots! I live on the south side and the 45 minute drive was absolutely worth it, I will be back ASAP to play it again!

Crazy layout

The front 9 was good but the back nine is layed out like a mini golf course - goofy golf for sure!!! All 9 holes were blind shots and ridiculous! Wouldn’t play here again!

Haha! I love the response. "if you suck, you'll have blind shots." :-)

As someone who hits into trouble frequently, it's never the courses fault...

10 not blind to the landing area, then not blind to the green 11 not blind to the landing area, then not blind to the green. 12 not blind to the landing area, then not blind to the green. 13 not blind at all.

14 not blind at all.

15 not bling at all.

16 not blind at all.

17 not blind to the landing area, then not blind to the green.

18 not blind to the landing area, then not blind to the green.

If you don't get to the landing areas from the tee, or are behind trees, then yes, there are blind shots.

Great round

Only hitch on our round was the outing going on simultaneously. The guys in the outing were really slow, but conditions were tough, so it was understandable. I’m always amazed by bear slide, it’s always in great shape. Awesome day.

Great round on great course improved by brief threat of intense weather that cleared the course of the faint hearted— or perhaps people with loved ones. We stayed and played couple extra balls here and there it was so open. Friendly staff, challenging course that always gets me.

Exceptional Staff

This is a great course, but even better were the staff. From Pro Shop to Snack Bar the staff listened, responded and made suggestions to improve our day.

Greens just plugged (and we knew this) were the only issue on course. Tees and fairways in great shape. TLC apparent at every turn. Played in less than 4 hours. Traps were meticulously maintained which was a nice surprise as many public courses have trap maintenance on low priority.

Great course, slow play

This course is a must for central Indiana golfers and I was shocked with the slow pace of play on a Wednesday in early October. There were some very below average golfers in 3 consecutive foursomes ahead of my group and the round would have taken 5 1/2 hours and I had to leave on the 14th hole. I'll be back but will try to find a better time to play.

Great course

Bear Slide is a great course with many challenges and options of difficulty with the multiple tee options. Course was in great condition with some wear on the greens as expected this late in the season.
