Bear Slide Golf Club

The course was in excellent shape. We had not played the course for 6 or 7 years. The book on the cart helped but even with it you can get into a lot of trouble quickly. I will go back with mental notes I made and hopefully be able to shave a few more strokes off with better course management. My foursome enjoyed the challenge but this course can humble you if you miss your intended fairway targets and lay ups. Greens were as true and nice as I have played on this year.

Loved the layout and conditions despite the rain at the end of June. Only hole that had an issue was 16, where they are doing some repair work on the green. But its a fun, challenging course and worthy of its reputation.

The front 9 is pretty straightforward, but it's really hard to know how to play some holes on the back 9 until you've seen them. I'd like to have mulligans on at least 3. The book on the cart tries to help, but you really have to see these holes to play them correctly. Having said that, it's a fun course, and I'd like another crack at it now that I have a round under my belt. Good shape considering the rain, nice folks.

Great layout and alway in great shape. Best value for the money in central Indiana.

I usually play Bear Slide at least a couple times a year. The course was in good shape and the staff friendly.The only downside to the round was getting stuck behind a foursome that was playing excruciatingly slow. I was part of a twosome and with no one in front of us played the front nine in 1.5 hours. We met another twosome on the 11th tee who were behind the foursome. The foursome made no effort to let anyone play through and the twosome we met claimed a couple group had "already bailed". A ranger came through about hole number 14 and evidently said nothing to the group because nothing changed. We stuck it out and it took us just over 3 hours to play the back nine.

It seems like this is my private course whenever I play. Hate to write about how good it is for fear of not being able to play in under 4 hours but want them to have plenty of green fees to continue to pay for this well maintained and challenging course. Great value, fantastic staff and challenging course.

I played when there was a forecast of 50% chance of thunderstorms... after 3 days of heavy rain. The course was wet, but very playable. The best part of was the fact that fewer than 8 people were on the course when I played. I was able to complete the round within 3 hours. Despite the conditions, the course was in immaculate shape. I'm definitely coming back, that's for sure.

This course provides many levels of challenge based on the tees you choose. Course condition and amenities are excellent.

We live 10 minutes from this course so we were pleased to find a deal on Golf Now. The course is in good shape and is a real test of golfing ability. Wide fairways but a considerable amount of trouble if you stray or lose focus. The heather is ever present and the sand traps abundant.
It is a course you need to play again to realize a lot of the trouble. The back nine is a lot of target golf with some tricky holes.Lost 2 balls but found 6!
I am 66 and played from gold tees and had all I could handle on most holes.
The course was too tough for my wife who is about a 28 hcp. Too much trouble and hard for her to carry some trouble areas.

Beautiful course on good condition. Greens were still recovering from aeration but rolled ok. If you live in central Indiana this must be on your courses to play list.

I took a four hour ride down to Cicero Indiana to play this nice Layout course. Was impressed by the condition of the fairways and the senic look of this course. But the one thing that kept me from giving this course a perfect 5 was the greens here. for such a nice place to visit, this courses greens every one of the greens had massive Divots on them, which made putting tuff. and the fact I fixed on average 6 ball marks on every hole. I holed out a 41-40-81 from the tips or back tees here. Has the right mix of sand, water, and rough, but I found the fairways to be a lot wider then the video on Utube I watched. Not a hard front nine at all, but the back got fun and has a lot of elevation changes. But I met 2 great guys I got paired up with, and we had a great time playing this course. I would recommend this course highly if in mid Indiana.

Love Bearslide, best true links course in the central Indiana area. Challenging holes but fair. greens are alway true and bunkers are well maintained. Tee boxes are level and multiple tee boxes let you play to your skill level. Watch the online video score card on the course website for valuable insite and tips on ball placement. Only negative is no storm shelter on the course and a couple of greens are in need of maintainence due to what appears to be flooding or disease and patrons need to learn how to fix their divots and ball marks. Fantastic experience will play here again!

Pace of play was held up by one or two groups, staff was informed, nothing was done to speed up pace of play, very disappointing. Pace of play should have bee 3.5-4 hrs for the round instead it was closer to 5 hrs.

Very good course which is in great condition. From the back tees this is a difficult course.

Great Course! Tougher than I had imagined. For the price, it was one of the nicer courses I've played in the area. Have played similar courses for $80-$90 per round and this one was $55 through GolfNow.

Excellent Course and was in great shape. Enjoyed Bear Slide!

It's a haul from Indy (50 mins from downtown), but we'll worth it for the price and quality. Slick greens, great layout.

Hard to get a better bang for your buck around the Indy area. A great course for low handicappers with the tips being around 7400 yards.

This was my first time playing the course. I enjoyed the layout. It was difficult, but there weren't a lot of hidden obstacles. Greens are coming back from being aerated, but still rolled very well. Practice area was also nice.

The two nines play a bit differently with the front being more links style and the back with more target golf. The course was is really good condition when we played and with the GolfNow rate it was a great value. I recommend this course to anyone in the area.
