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.

Course was in one of the best conditions I've seen this year.

Played here 7-8 times but this was the best condition the course has been in since it was new. Pristene is a good word for it. Since I played well, I loved the course and round., although intitutional knowledge is important for a good round. 12th hole may be one of my favorite. 1th may be my least favorite.

Friendly staff

I always have a great time playing Bear Slide. Great course, and maintained well. Only issue with the course is letting a six some play in front of my two-some on a sunday. Very frustrating when that backs up the whole course.

Fun Tough Course

Played from back tees. Have some room off the tee but must hit good long iron shots. Greens rolled well but speed seemed to vary hole to hole. Most greens seemed to be quicker then the putting green.

5 Stars across the board. I agree with it being a top course in the state.

There's not really much to say because words don't do justice. 5 stars in every category there is. A real golf challenge that forces you to hit all the shots. I wish I could play here every day.

Always in great shape...

I have played Bear Slide a few times over the years, and have always been impressed. The course is in great shape and challenges every level of golfer. It is not nearly as far from Indianapolis as you might think. Make the drive. It is worth it.

great condition, target golf on back nine

Course was in phenomenal shape in early July and very challenging. Requires well placed drives off of every tee - no room for error. Did not enjoy the "target golf" setup of the back nine. Outside of the lone par five, driver was taken out of your hand off the blue tees due to divided or short fairways.
