Reader Ratings / Reviews
- Black Bear is a very good course that has reasonable prices for greens fees. The course has some room to hit off the tee but has several areas of trouble. There are very few flat lies, and the course is not rediculously long but makes up for it at the greens. very good course design and is very difficult for even a low handicapper. Has a Scottish links flavor to it with a lot of sand traps and only a few blind shots. The only negative is the greens are too fast with a lot of undulation that makes putting very difficult. Also, every green is fenced off which makes for a lot of walking up and down hills getting to your ball which can make for slower play. Overall - an excellent golf course to play and enjoy.
- 6 and a half hour round.
- calling in to tell that the pace of play is slow.
- them not responding and denying the fact
- being done with 16 holes and haveing the people come out to tell you that you are playing way to slow.
- haveing more people come out to tell you to hurry up or else we will escort you off
- waitin 15 mintutes every tee shot.
Dont come here.
