Bear Slide Golf Club

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.

Thought it would be wetter since only april 1st-but in excellent shape. Tough but fair for an intermediate golfer

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shortly after moving to the Indy area last year, I was told that Bear Slide was one of the public courses that I should play. It is 70 minutes away but finally made it up there. With a 7 index I played the blue 6500 yd tees. A good choice. Fairways are generous with few exceptions. The course defenses are around the greens, ie if you miss one it is difficult to get up and down. Most par 3's are challenging due to small greens and/or water. Par 5's are quite manageable if you hit a reasonable drive. As far as staff, I arrived an hour early and said I'd like to tee off early if I could. I was told I needed to wait until my tee time. So I practiced for an hour and watched one foursome tee off during that time. Desk pro seemed like a "just the facts" kind of guy. So I rated staff as average at best. Course was in good shape except for 16 green which is in low area and was not up to par. Overall, I enjoyed the round and would recommend the course. There are too many other good courses closer to my home to expect I'll get there very often.

Well conditioned course, Very fair off the tee. A good mix of easy medium and hard greens

This is a very nice course. There was a mistake put into golf now and we were able to play this course for only $7 each. I thought the staff may scoff at it but they honored it without any hassle.
Thanks BearSlide

Played 8-31-14 arrived in a heavy rain, stopped 20 min. later. The course drained really well, set up is very nice, and keep the ball in the fairways and you are rewarded. Very nice course to play.

The weather was overcast, but it never rained a drop. The staff did a great job for us and the course was in great shape, with a comfortable pace of play.

Very nice course and it was in great shape. I played the blue tees and even though it was only 6500 yards, it was very challenging.

We had a great time. I like the interesting hole designs. It helped to have some partners familiar with the holes to offer some tips on where to hit.

I have lived in Indiana for 3 years and this is the best course I have played so far. The staff was so nice, and would even come check on you during the round. It is a very tough course and you may need a few extra balls, but I highly recommend this course to any golfer.

Bear Slide is a terrific course. The course has an excellent layout and and is very well maintained. The course really challenges your shot making ability and punishes you with hazards if you have a miss-hit. The other challenge of the course is that it plays longger than the yardage on the scorecard. You have to be driving the ball well if you want any hope of making par. If you have a relatively low handicap and want to challenge your game then Bear Slide is a great place to do that.

This course is 2 Different styles of golf. Front 9 is a links and back 9 is well different. Hole# 11 is a gimmicky hole. Keep it left at the rock. Also hole 17 hit it up the hill as far as the tall tree on the right. That will give you a good line in to the green. We also had a Hole in One on number 4. My guests will like to play again.

I drove from saint Louis to play this course after hearing nothing but good things from family. It surpassed my expectations! Great, fun, well kept course for all to enjoy!

Great course and since we played during the week it was fast. It was in great shape with lots of signage to help since it was our first time there. Would love to play again! On #11 aim for the rock, the signs are right.

An excellent golf course to play. Very challenging & fair with a nice variety of holes from front 9 to back 9, nothing boring or easy. You'll be glad you played this one.
