Golfer Reviews
Not a course for high handicaps
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.
Absolutely stunning
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.
Worth the Long Drive!
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.
Best Links Course
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!
Bear Slide pace of play
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.
Great 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.
BEAR SLIDE May 16th, 2015
Excellent Course and was in great shape. Enjoyed Bear Slide!
Great Value
It's a haul from Indy (50 mins from downtown), but we'll worth it for the price and quality. Slick greens, great layout.
Good track...
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.
Great Layout
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.
Good course for a good value
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.
Very Challenging
We played at 1:09 in early April, still cool, then it rained for a few holes. Cart path only was completely understandable because it was wet but the course still played pretty good. The greens were not just hit and sit but would actually roll out a little. Decent speed for this early and very true. We made a few nice ones. Definitely had fun and look forward to more rounds there this year.
Few suggestions
the golfnow advertised rate that is "such an amazing deal" is identical to the pro shop advertised rates right now. $30 w a cart before 1 during week. Also, they don't tell you the greens were just aerated and they still use the old punch hole technology which makes it impossible to putt on especially without any sand filler. It was not fun.
Beautiful course - just aerated so not worth the price
This is a very picturesque course. I didn't realize they had just aerated when I booked. While the course is fantastic and normally I would have rated it much higher, it's not worth the full fall rate while the greens are still recovering.
Great Course
I had played Bear Slide a couple time a few years back and enjoyed it. It is a decent drive from much of the city and I don't make it up that way often. The course was in great condition, the fairways were in excellent condition as well as the tees and greens. The 16th was showing some wear as to be expected from its location. Overal i love the course, the conditions were excellent and pace of play was great.
A great value.
Course in great condition and was fun to play. From the time I requested the tee time, checking in, playing the course and afterwards, it was a rewarding experience. I would recommend Bear Slide to anyone wanting a golf challenge.
Great deal beautiful course
Challenging course 2 of the greens were in rough shape greens are cut low and rolled which made them extremely slick. Overall a great experience. Person in the pro shop seemed annoyed that I bought on line.
