e.coli

It would have been nice when we checked in if they would have told us their water supply was contaminated with E.coli or even had a couple signs up other then just one on the men's bathroom mirror above one sink. I'm 5,11 not tall but the sign was above my eye line.

Always A Pleasure To Play Here

Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Greens were slow because they had recently been aerated. I'd expect the greens to be rolling great again by mid-April. The layout is one of the best public courses in Indiana easily. So much character. I'll be back again soon.

Interesting Course

Challenging course but fair. Front and back nines are entirely different, with front more links style and back more traditional. Greens were excellent and rolled true, and fairways were in perfect shape.

Excellent shape

The service and snack bar are very well managed and efficient. The course itself is always in tip top shape. Regardless if your are in the middle of a 60 consecutive day drought, or it is raining, or you are playing in late November, their maintenance staff makes the course perfect every time. The also have an excellent green fee for seniors. I play all over central Indiana and Bear Slide rates up there with the best.

No discount after aerification

I realize that it's the time of the year for aerification and top-dressing, but when we were charged $75 per player when we booked online, I thought maybe they had not started theirs yet. We were very disappointed to pay a premium price for less than premium conditions.

I have always been a huge fan of this course and the variety of holes it offers; just disappointed that the first timers in my group did not have the opportunity to experience the table greens it usually has to offer. I don't know of a course that doesn't offer discounts immediately following aerification.

This course has great layout.

Was a fun course to play. The only draw back was when we checked in, we were informed it was cart path only and greens were recently aerated. Unfortunate for us, because this course is truely a BEAR under these conditions Course was wet, causing the course to play longer, and requiring a lot more waking then if we would have had a pull cart. The course was in excellent condition except for being wet and recently aerated, has a great layout and was fun to play. Look forward to play it again when course conditions are dryer and green are normal.

2.5 inches of rain overnight does sorta causes wet conditions which is why there were very few mowers and other equipment out. It is aeration season at courses all over as well.

Great Course

We went on a very raining morning and the course was still in great shape. There were a few wet spots obviously but that can’t be helped with the amount of rain the night before.

The course conditions were still amazing and the combination of a great layout, elevation change, and some tricky hazards really made for a wonderful round of golf.

I highly recommend this course to anyone and will most certainly be back.

Must Play

The course could use a Marshall. We waited on every shot. There were at least two holes open ahead of the group in front of us. Except for that, it was a very enjoyable round. All the staff we interacted with was great. I played the course five years ago and it is every bit as nice now as it was then. I would absolutely recommend this course to the better than average golfers.
