Fantastic all around
I took my 12 year old out on a Saturday morning as our club was closed for a tournament. We usually avoid public courses in the weekends because they are always jampacked and pay players usually ridiculously slow. Bear trace was an absolute jewel. 10 minute teatime and Rangers keeping place of playing it a wonderful experience. The course conditions were pristine. The greens were wonderful and well-maintained. It was overall an amazing experience.
Beautiful golf course
The golf course was in great shape. The staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend this golf course
GO TO COUSE WEBSITE FOR TEE TIMES
I payed $75 on Golf Now and when I got to the course I had to pay another $65. The payment to Golf Now is 10% of the golfers fees. The guys at the course said they are trying to get off Golf Now. Look them up online and reserve there or call the course!!
Terrific golf
We travelled down from Canada and couldn't have been happier. Pace of play was excellent. Conditions were amazing. The final 4 holes were amazing along the water with deer running out in front of us. Would definately book here again on our next road trip.
best golf experience in the states
the golf course is in a perfect condition and the views are spectacular the stuff was very friendly and helping me with a lot of questions I will highly recommend to anyone who is interested to come.
Excited to go back
Loved this course! The staff was incredibly friendly and the layout was beautiful. Only negative I had was the greens and bunkers weren’t in the best shape but they warned us ahead of time and have a plan to fix/repair them. Excited to go back and play when they reopen this fall.
Great course
Awesome course. Not too long but does require course management for longer hitters off the tee. Very friendly staff and course is in great condition.
Sand traps
Some of the sand traps were in terrible condition especially for a course charging almost 70$ a round
Hot time at Tim’s Ford
Great design by the Bear and his son. Classic greens with plenty of challenging pin placements.
I usually play this course about once a year when I go on vacation. The foursome I played with two were beginners one hasn’t played in years but we had a wonderful time and experience.
