Did not finish round
Will not play again if this is the norm .tee time 1145 all good we were only on #16 at 5 o'clock could not take it .when we drove back to clubhouse a group on 17 fairway just teed off no one on green and not a sole anywhere to be found on 18 this 4 some backed up course for hours . Group ahead of us tried playing thru to no avail
Outstanding Course
Absolutely loved this course, I’ve played Cascades and now this one at Crystal Springs. This is easily the nicest 18 hole course I have played to date(I’m a new golfer). Greens are good and fast(really fast) with fairways in great condition. The front 9 starts out pretty wide open with long straight fairways and gets narrow with many holes including a dog leg or two in the back 9. On top of all of this the scenery is absolutely beautiful. This is going to be my new home course starting next year.
Great Course, country club service and amenities on a public course.
Good track great greens
Nice layout and certainly flatter fairways than Crystal Springs. Probably the truest greens I have played in a while snd fast too. Overall great experience except for some slow play ahead. Going to be awfully pretty as the leaves turn as well
Sand Bunkers
The bunkers are disgraceful for a good course like Black Bear. It has been in this condition for several years. Some bunkers are filled in with new sand, but there are too many bunkers with dirt and rocks.
Always challenging
Love this place, but haven't played it in years. I was surprised how much it's changed over the years, a lot of housing has been built around it.
Same, spectacular holes though, same maddening mounds, tight holes and tricky greens. Quarry par 3 is still breathtaking and fun. The course plays a lot longer than it seems, many uphill greens require a forced carry..
The course is in great shape, but the cart paths are really beat up.
Pace of play was good, a lot of travel between holes keep groups spaced.
Not much for food after the round though, the one restaurant was booked and bar was full..
Pace of play
Couldn’t get 12 holes in, in four and a half hours just sad. ☹️
First Experience at Crystal Springs
This was the first Crystal Springs course I’ve ever played, easily the best course I’ve played too. I’m a beginner golfer so I haven’t exactly played very many courses yet but this is perfect for all skill levels. The course is narrow but forgiving at the same time. The fairways and tee boxes are in great shape, greens are super fast and the staff is great. I will be back at this course before the end of the season.
Great course
Black Bear is one of my favorite courses. It is well maintained and provides both a challenging and friendly mix of difficulty. I recommend it to everyone.
