Golfer Reviews
Wet Start
As a threesome we went out early on a Sunday, and it was a wet start. With rain the night before and sprinkle coming down on the teebox, we were hoping the weather would turn around. After playing the front nine through wind and rain, the back nine turned out to be really nice day.
As for the course, conditions were pretty good. Course is very well kept, but the pace of play because of the rain was too slow. We were catching a twosome ahead of us and waiting on continuous holes. This is probably not the courses fault, but that's what happened.
Price - $60 (Sunday at 8AM) to ride 18 was about the top price I would pay to golf here again.
Love the layout
Love the layout. Course reflected excellent overall care, though a few minor blemishes on back 9 greens. I like the variety to each hole making sure you don't feel like you're playing the same hole a second or third time...like some courses. Would definitely recommend.
Greens
The greens are in poor shape all over the course. Between the bumps, dirty patches, and I repaired divots, it was hard to get a true roll.
Hot Deal
I have found this to be one of the best courses in the central Indiana. Always well maintained and in great shape. The only thing I would like to see changed is to soften up the greens a touch to help offset the quickness. All in all, a great course with a great price.
great corse
Greens are in great shape. Sand traps as well. Back nine is challenging
Excellent experience
Highly recommend. Course was in great shape and great layout. Will play again!
Beautifully kept up
Greens rolling exceptionally smooth...anything that started on line stayed true. Bear Slide has great character to it: no hole looks the same. Golfer must be prepared for many blind approaches to greens.
Bear slide
This course is beautiful and in great condition. It's a great amount of difficultly but can be played well. I think there should be GPS on the carts for this course.
Best in the area!
Honestly, I don't know how this course isn't a PGA course. It's THAT nice. It is very challenging, has tons of different hazards and obstacles to keep you on your toes, and honestly it's just flat out awesome to be out there. Unless you find a Hot Deal, it is a little pricey, but trust me, it's worth it. If you're in the central Indiana area, this is a course you've gotta play!!!
Challenging course, great conditions
Bear Slide has always been one of my favorite courses in the Indy area. It's a bit of a drive from Indy but that is one of my favorite things about it- it's in the middle of nowhere, there aren't houses on the course, and it's not usually very busy. The most common complaint I hear about this course is the stark contrast between the front and the back 9. The front is links style and being a long driver is rewarding. The back is almost all precision shots and placement is key. You have to hit GIRs out here to score well as many greens are raised and narrow. Up and downs are tough. Course was in good shape and I recommend this course to anyone within an hours drive.
My Favorite Central Indiana Course
Got to play my favorite central Indiana course early this spring and it was in great condition for April 12th. Pace of play was slow, but that is to be expected as a 2-some behind a few 4-somes and early in the season. Highly recommend playing the course this year.
Slooooooow play
I love the layout of the course and its usually in pretty good shape, however, this is the third time in a row where my round took well over 5 hours.
Fun and Challenging
I really enjoyed the course, played early in the season and course was in good shape, would assume as it gets farther in spring it will become in great shape. Tees boxes were together with white/blue in same location every hole so it was hard to determine exactly what you were playing as some were white location and other were blue. Very fun layout and greens were in good shape. Will play again.
like two couses in one
Bear Slide is a fun challenge. the front 9 are links style and the back is prairie style. the ball must be kept in play as there is unplayable rough lurking on every hole. it is a real challenge and probably too difficult for some players to score their hcp but for any level it is a beautiful place to play. highly recommend this off the beaten path course. one of the best in indy area.
Tournament ready all the time
Bear Slide is known for fast greens and always being in tournament condition. Today was no different. Greens putted quick and true. And, the sand traps were raked up to the collar. The kind of sand traps you see on TV that the pros play from. Great links layout with some water hazards and mild elevation.
Tough Course!
BearSlide is always a great course to play. Great conditions great variety of holes. It can be really challenging. The wind was blowing and recent rain made it very rough. I love playing her. .. just never score well.
Outstanding Test of Golf
This course is one of the best I have played. It is a beautiful and challenging layout. I highly recommend that you play this course.
