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.

The course was absolutely wonderful, the staff very friendly and accommodating

My only complaint is we were sent out as a fivesome when there was no ryme or reason for it. There was no group ahead of us and we were holding up the twosome behind us for twelve holes. My suggestion is a fivesome should always be a last resort.

Nice Course

We stayed in Biloxi and played this course. The staff and starter were very friendly. The course was in great shape and fun with a slight challenge. I would recommend this course if you are in the area.

Best Golf Experience I've Ever Had

Without question, this is the nicest course I have ever played at. From the moment we arrived, it was a first-class experience, We were greeted by the starter, Doyle, who gave us all the ins and outs of the course since this was our first time playing there, He then brought us to Hole 1, and this is where the fun really started. Every part of the entire course was in immaculate condition. Tee boxes, fairways, greens, and even bunkers were in incredible condition. The layout of the course was great. The fairways are fairly open which will allow for some forgiveness off the tee, but it is challenging in the way that it forces you to use all of the clubs in your bag. Also, every hole is secluded from all other holes so you don't have to worry about balls from another hole flying into your fairway. If you are looking for a great course to play, this is the only one you should consider. 5 stars in every way for me.

If there is a better course in Mississippi...I don't wanna play it!

Wow! What can I say? I was supposed to play another course today...but I ended up playing at Grand Bear...I was NOT disappointed. As a matter of fact...I played 36 holes. The course was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. The staff was awesome...even the guys who came out and greeted me at my car were professional and courteous! The nice lady on the beverage cart...Teresa...made regular checkups on us to insure that we were well taken of. If you are ever in the area...this course is a must play.
