I highly recommend this course to anyone! Very challenging but fun course with a wide variety of holes. Using the Golf Now hot deals made this a wonderful value. The staff was unbelievable greeted us with our cart on arrival and walked us through check to teeing off. We’ve had a lot of rain so it was cart path only but still a great round of golf and I look forward to going back!

Absolutely Beautiful Course

Wow! The course was beautiful and in great condition. From fairways to greens to bunkers, everything was pristine! Definitely had some tough patches of rough to play out of as well. The staff was extremely informative and friendly! Grease missiles were electric as well!

Awesome course!

We were greeted by the friendly staff as soon as we got out of our vehicle. I can not say enough about this course. It was in great condition, the greens are very consistent. The staff is the best we have ever dealt with at a golf course. We have played all over Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi and this is hands down in our top 3 favorite courses.

Course conditions immaculate

This course layout of fantastic. Very secluded. Greens were perfect, no blemishes. Friendly staff. Only complaint was that it was cart path only due to days and days of continuous rain, and it is not walker friendly due to extensive distance from green to next hole.

Highly recommend this Jack Nicklaus design.

This was a great course and a great price thru golf now. The only complaint I have is it started to rain when we are the 9th hole and of course we had to come in. We waited the rain out and could have finished our round but they closed the course saying it was too wet. However we were the only ones left and I believed they closed it because they didn’t want to wait in just 2 golfers

Thank you for the 5 stars, and for the review of your experience at Grand Bear. Our apologies that your round was cut short due to the weather. The safety of our guests and staff is the top priority at Grand Bear, and when in doubt we will always error on the side of safety. We hope you will give us another chance, perhaps when the weather is expected to cooperate.
