Bear Slide Golf Club

Had some friends down for the weekend got an awesome deal @33 dollars a person. Great course. The pro shop is not fitting of the #6 course in the state. Staff was friendly

Fun course . Good conditions and great pace of play. Worth the drive from downtown.

Truly enjoyed myself on this course. Fairways are forgiving, Bunkers are well maintained, greens are fast, and the sandwiches at the turn were fantastic! I'm surprised the carts don't yet have gps though for the price of a round.

I was very glad I went with people who'd played the course before and played the whites. Certainly not a long course but the dangerous spots are hidden from the tee. It helped to have someone tell you where to put that first shot. I would have easily hit 9 extra strokes if I was on my own.

This course reminds me of The Fort. Lots of variety, elevation changes and variety in the view.

Really fun course. Interesting layout. Greens were fast and rolled really true. Tee boxes in great shape and nice fairways. The staff was very friendly. My new favorite public course in Indy.

Great Pace Of Play

Nice Course

Nice Value

I also posted earlier in the season on this course......

It is a good bit north of town, but worth the commute to get there. There are just a couple of holes that feel stuck in there in the design, but the other 15-16 are fantastic in design.

For some reason the aeration from the spring is still in the healing process and ever so slightly bumpy, but it is almost up to tip top shape......This course generally plays firm and fast which I enjoy and it is coming into form.

Great pace of play and peaceful location all about the golf.....You don't have to play in someone's backyard here. This is a "shotmakers" course and you have to put your ball in position and control spin to score here.

Excellent practice and warm up facilities here.....

Always a great course to play

Bear Slide may not get the public kudos more well-known top tracks in the Indy area receive - Purgatory, Prairie View and the Trophy Club to name a few, but it belongs right up there. It's a good challenge, especially with the wind up, well-maintained and has a lot of variety in its makeup, especially the back 9. As with several other area courses right now, the greens are a little firm and not holding much, but they roll well.

Anyone would do well to make the drive and play this excellent course.

Have played here numerous times over several years...... It is a great layout with the exception of about 2-3 holes that seem stuck in there that don't make sense.

It's not in horrible condition, but I've played here twice this spring and it's in the worst shape I've seen it for this time of year. By this I'm saying the greens matter much to me as a single-digit handicap. I always came here knowing they would be fast and true. They punched the greens this spring and they are still bumpy. Also, they haven't gotten to in season conditions by putting water coolers out, etc.

Don't stay away, but not at its best currently.

A destination golf course near the Indianapolis area. Open links style golf on the front with some fun challenging holes that require some strategy. Pick you tee box wisely as the course is a par 71. Back side gets a bit more challenging. The course, on this side, becomes more of a target golf course and favors the accurate iron player. Hole 11 seems to need a rework but is a fun hole if you can hit the green in regulation.

For April, the course was in very good condition.

Quality layout with some really great golf holes. Well manicured course with enough challenges for advanced players to enjoy.

It would have been Great, a 5 star for sure but they were doing some grounds work, (I know it has to be done, new irrigation and drainage and not knocking them for it... on the contrary) Watch out for the bee hive!!! It was awesome, you could hear them in the tree, freakin awesome. I bet if I played it again I'd give it 5 stars.

The course was in great shape for November golf in Indiana!! Play was quick. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were very good as usual!
Played white tee boxes which are right at 6,000 yards. Very challenging holes into the wind!

course knowledge important must be on the correct sides of fairways to have a playable shot to green, 17/18 right then left, make sure to play tee that gets you to 150, marks stay below hole , a challenging course but enjoyable will be back for sure

Links style courses are fantastic as long as your rounds are not 5-6 hours long. Too many people dpending time in the heather looking for balls.

Many hill and banker makes this course challenging. But I could enjoy very well.
Green was air ventilation timing but enough to play.
I can recommend this course well.

Great layout with lots of challenge. Courteous staff. My only advice is to the golfers who come here. This course can be mean if you pick the wrong tees. Put your "pride" aside and tee it forward for an even more enjoyable experience.

Good outdoor practice facility. On the course: Good fairways and Fast greens that were in great shape. A changing golf course, where you can score well.

Ended up with an extra day on a trip to Indy so looked around for a nice course to play. Considered a few others but this was relatively close and looked good. The weather turned a bit overnight and at the start it was pretty cool and more than a little breezy. Sun came out and layers came off on the 2nd nine. Paired up with a couple locals which really helped as there were some holes that even with my GPS and the nice guidebook on the cart it would have been tough to get good aim points. Fairways were all very good. Greens were quite fast and pretty smooth/true although a little thin - I would give that a nice. That would be really my only minor knock on the experience. Great layout, great visuals, great variety of holes, lots of elevation changes. Longer hitters should possibly play the blues but the whites were a pretty good challenge. Anyone that plays from the blacks here is a pro or crazy long. Pace of play we great. The GolfNow deal was with a cart and it would be a tough walk with some distance between green/next tee and just the elevation. All in all it was a great day of golf on a very, very, nice course. I recommend it highly and will certainly try to play it again - ideally with the same guys that I paired up with this time.
