Very nice course, was wet so cart path only was not pleasant. Totally understand, but was hot & unpleasant. We will be back 100%
Very Tough Course
Very tough but excellent condition. More staff needed as a society had been in and it was chaos getting a cart. Also more drinks carts needed. Long round too 4hr 40mins with a cart so give yourself time
Starter - Needs a Service Attitude
Had an unpleasant reaction to my sim asking for a 2nd Score Card. It ruined the front nine for us. And, I left a message for the Mgmnt to call me - still waiting for a reply. The place is great - the experience was a letdown.
Nice course, super friendly staff
Played 4 different courses last weekend in the Crystal springs area and thought Black Bear was second best behind Ballyowen. I'll be honest, price is steep compared to courses that I pay about $80-$100 in the tri-state area with similar layouts and amenities. I will say that the rangers were seen often, but we had no issue with pace of play.
Challenging for Beginners
Really fun course, it was my first time playing a Crystal Springs course and I was not disappointed. It has a good mix of easy and challenging holes. Layout is good, the holes are really far apart though. This is a good course for someone new to the game like myself. I shot a 52(it’s a 9 hole course)
Awesome
The course was I great shape from tee to greens. Had a great experience. Will definitely play it again.
Great round every time.
Black Bear is a great course. It is well maintained wirh friendly greens. The sand traps are beginning to be upgraded to be real sand, which improve the course to a top level.
Gorgeous and incredibly challenging
When people said this course was one of the most difficult in the nation, I didn't take it seriously. I should have. This is the hardest course I have ever played. Very narrow fairways, hilly rolling terrain, plenty of thick forest to eat your ball, and it felt like every other shot was blind. Great course, but very very hard.
Great Course
Beautiful course with many different hole layouts. Only issue was that bunkers were hard as a rock and didn’t even look playable on some holes. For the $ we spend playing this course, that should be fixed.
BEAR
One of the most beautiful public courses available. Except for some unkept sandtraps,s a perfect golf experience!
