Challenging and Long
A beautifully maintained course that is long and challenging. Offers something for long ball hitters and those with precision.
An Enjoyable Course
This is a challenging but fair course, in great shape. Although the pace of play was slower than I would have liked, it was all in all an enjoyable experience.
Great experience
Conditions are great, practice facilities are great, greens run true, however the greens are slow and very soft. So good for most skill levels but not ideal for better players.
Staff Friendliness
I couldn’t be any more pleased with the staff and how nice they were. As a single golfer, I never expect to be given priority nor different treatment than a 2,3 of 4 some. The staff offered to pair me up with other groups. They went as far as asking a large golf trip group if it was ok that I joined one of their groups of 3. The snack shop gal was phenomenal! I would come back here if I ever found myself in the area!
Fun Course!
Second time playing there and unfortunately did not get to play Grizzly :(. However, the Kodiak / Black Bear was just as nice as the first time. Had a bunch of rain the day before and it was cart path only and it made out for a longer round. I get it though! I’ll definitely be back as long as TeeOff provides great rates and MORE options PLEASE. As these local courses start to penalize locals change and increase rates so it’s unaffordable TeeOff is the ONLY way I’ll get to play them.
Very fun track
I got to play Kodiak and Black Bear. Both were a little different but very nice track. I look forward to coming back and playing Grizzly!
Enjoyable
Played here for the first time on a very windy Tuesday in May. I really liked the layout. Interesting, challenging, but fair. The day we played was a tough day weather-wise, but I had fun. I want to return in more summer like conditions to really be able to enjoy the routing.
Early May
Hours before we started it actually hailed in Mayso it was cart path only no biggie. We didn't run into anyone the whole round due the quick storm. The course was in greatcshape, super fast greens, well maintained fairways and bunkers. The course is nestled in The Bear Trap Community so your not going to get the wildest or most scenic layouts but still a very pretty course.
Nice staff and nice course
The course and people are nice. “Cartmaster Steve” is the best.
