Employees

Employees both when booking & checking in were rude and sarcastic. My 3 friends & I will not be returning.

Great time

Course was very wet on the back 9 nine but still had a great time. Cart path only definitely slowed the pace of play but wasn’t that bad out there today.

Perfection

A little bit of a drive but totally worth the hidden beauty. This place is incredible. The layout makes you feel like it’s your own private course. We hardly saw anyone during our round. All the staff members were awesome and treated us as if we were members of a private club. The course was in great shape even following a heavy overnight rain. Multiple sets of tees make this stunning gem a challenge for any level golfer. Great shots are rewarded and trouble lurks all over. Greens and fairways are in fantastic shape for winter time. The food was great at the turn and the pro shop has a nice selection. All in all my family of four had a wonderful time during our round while on vacation and are so happy we found and picked this place. Well worth the drive if you are anywhere in the area.

Great conditions, a little slow

The course is in exellent condition. The front 9 played fairly fast but on the back 9 we had to wait on every hole. The staff was friendly and courteous.

BOY BOY BOY.

This course is absolutely fantastic. Stay out the rough though. Lol. Almost lost a ball today that roll just off fairway. However fairways and greens were great. Greens crew had done a great job. Greens were punched a week ago and ball didn’t have bad bumps at all when hitting putts. Definitely will be playing this agains for sure.

Better than the rest

The reason I'm able to play here on a regular basis is the golf now rate I find on occasion. Every thing about this course is why I search for that deal. I don't want to play anywhere else. Other courses have rude staff are overpriced and don't appreciate the customer. There are a few exceptions but not enough.

Good course bad management

Second time they wanted me to an extra $20.00 for my own cart. Doing these times if they overbooked carts they need to do better. I shouldn’t have to ride with someone I’m not sure who they have been around.

Scenic course in incredible shape

The Bear is extremely well maintained with beautiful fare ways and fast greens, it’s perfectly secluded which provides for a scenic round, and the staff could not be more friendly.

Great golf course

This was my first time here. Greens were in great shape and matched the speed on the practice green.

I spent too much time in the bunkers. My fault, of course, and the sand was soft and a fair test of shot making.
