Bear Slide Golf Club

I hadn’t played here since I moved to Florida in 2005 and I was not disappointed it’s still a great course

Bear Slide golf course is a great experience with a definite variety of holes and shots. The two nines are pretty much different from one another with the front 9 being more "linksy" and the back 9 more parkland. The course gets a LOT of play, but is in good shape for the most part. The greens were a little worn, but definitely playable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Lunch or a snack is affordable. This little gem might be a little off the beaten path, but is WELL worth your effort to play it!

Bear Slide is one of the top 5 courses the Indianapolis area without question. I hadn't played it yet this year, but I am glad I finally did. it is in outstanding shape and as good as anything that I've played in town. The staff is always friendly and professional. They are doing things the right way at bear slide

This is a wonderful golf course that is in excellent condition. Challenging course that offers different tee options depending on your skill level.

I Love Bear Slide because it’s a great test of golf. I’m a 7 handicap and like going here to see how my game can hold up.

still one of the best layouts in central Indiana-- conditions were tremendous and greens as good as any around

This is as always, one of the best courses in the state! Play it if u get the opportunity!!!!

Been a fan and customer of Bear Slide for over a decade. Course is currently in best condition I’ve ever played it. Greens are immaculate, even the 16th which I know is a struggle year in year out! Played early (before 830a) so pace of play was fine. Hopefully future customers are respectful and help to keep tees and greens in their current state the remainder of this season.

The course was in great shape. The starter was very helpful in getting me off the first tee a little earlier than my tee time, and he did a good job of managing everyone who was on the golf course. Teeboxes and fairways are in great shape. Greens are faster than most public courses in the area, but not lightning fast. They rolled very true. I look forward to going back.

This was my first time playing Bear Slide. The course was difficult. The layout was fantastic. Some of the Fairways were extremely tight. Some greens were fast, some were slower. Overall, I would recommend this course.

Amazing course and GREAT value. Challenging layout that demands you use every club in the bag. Greens roll fast. Only knock is that it doesn't hold water great...Cart Path only after rain.

Loved the course. Played with two people who had played course so made the layout better to understand. GPS or course layout on scorecard would have made it spectacular.

Said it before and I'll say it again, this is the best course around the Indy area. It is in phenomenal shape tee-to-green, especially after the rough winter. Even the notorious 16th I've written about before is in good shape. Greens were fast and true, rough was lush. Best I've seen it in the 3 years I've been playing it.

Props to the maintenance guy for presenting this masterpiece, but also defending it when players disregarded the cart signs and drove wherever they wanted near greens. Never saw that before out of a maintenance guy (as opposed to a ranger), but his direct style during the interaction deserves major kudos for defending his course from their ignorance.

Since you guys at the course are reading these, how about a Blue/White combo tee on the card?

Course was in great condition for this time of year. It’s a golfer’s golf course, no b.s., just a great course. I do wish you would cut the fairways in a different fashion, don’t like that half up, half back, but that was our only complaint.

Thanks

ps - the greens were lightning fast, which was amazing for this early in the year.

Very well laid out course. The greens were fast the fairways meticulously maintained and the friendliest staff I’ve seen in the state.
