EXCELLANT but slow

From Bailey, the starter, to Mike, in the Pro Shop, to the Golf Superintendent, who can't wait for spring turkey season, the staff expresses how glad we came to play in the middle of 'no-where'.

Course is wonderful, minus the thin grass. Very hard to chip and putt true.

Now, the pace of play needs attention. We played in 5 1/2 hours, finishing at dusk. One more group finished after we did. Then, lights out. No rangers in site. The "Billy Bunkers" workers were no problem. Soon, the traps will be GRAND too.

Wet but wonderful

Course was wet after rain deluge. Pick the right tee and you will have a wonderful time. Holes were not similar to other Nicklaus courses. Cut out of wilderness, Desoto National Forest. No houses, plenty trees and elevatation changes. Amazing design. PLAY THE GRAND BEAR!

Grandest Bear

Jack really did justice to the game of golf! Play well and be rewarded. Hit bad shots and you will be penalized. I played in February so the grass was not fully there but I will return in the spring/summer/fall to play again! Thank you to Ian for being extra accommodating. Everyone there was lovely.

Great layout that needs more maintnenance crewmwn

I've played Grand Bear several times since it first opened. It's a fantastic Nicklaus layout andit will challenge your game. There are several tees to suit your length. They are installing "Better Billy Bunkers". Unfortunately, they only have 10 maintenance crewmen to maintain the course. The greens really needed to be rolled as no putts rolled smoothly. Still, the course is in good shape and I will play it again.

Great Track!

Probably the best value is south Mississippi. Layout is challenging with greens that are quick but fair. The golf staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Play this track!

Golf & Nature's Finest

I visit Biloxi twice each year. My golf group would choose another location if not for The Grand Bear Golf Course. This is an absolute must play for golf & nature lovers. It is among the finest in this country. I live in Tampa Bay & would choose Grand Bear over any of the 200 here.

Grand Bear

Always a nice experience, wish it was a little easier to get to, wolf play it more often. They had just recently punched the greens and sanded them. Probably wouldn't have played them until they healed a little. But still a nice round of golf at a great Golf Now price. Would recommend this Course anytime.
