A little dark, but black bear in a dark tree, hole # 6...appropriate for Black Bear Golf Club! Photo submitted by relivgolfers on 09/29/2013
Typical Winter conditions
Almost did not go after reading some reviews. I found the conditions normal for Florida in winter for courses that do not overseed. Greens putted quick and true. A few had some issues, but it did not affect play. Fairways had some grass, but lies were tight. Rough was not high. Will definitely go back.
Typical winter conditions
Course is typical of non overseeded courses in Winter. Fairway grass not growing, Tees and greens had grass. Greens putted fast and smooth, but were hard. Do not know why the bad reviews. It was a good value for $30-60 price range.
Black Bear
We have played Black Bear for many years. We love the course and although the course was not at its best, management has always done everything they could to keep the course at its best.
Great course!
Black Bear is an excellent course,, best in the area!
Needs work
Have played this course 3 years ago, it wasn't very good then and now its worse, you can see they are putting some work into it with sod in some places, the greens were surprisingly okay, just be ready to roll your ball to get a decent lie in the fairways
Course is terrible condition!
I have played here before and enjoyed the challenges of this course. It tests your course management skills. However, our 4some playing this course on 13 January for $50 dollars each seemed too pricey for nothing special. Only the teeboxes and the greens were OK. Everything else is barren soil and patchy grass areas. This is isn’t winter related, this condition is care related. They aren’t taking care of the course. I will not go back to it until after I hear decent reviews from other players.
Great course, but not for a beginner. Tough pin positions.makes it very tough. Don't think they were fair as the had a lot on the crest of slopes.
Not for your beginner
Course was very tough with the pin placements. Not fair and very fast. But we had a great time with the challenge.
Felt obligated to warn
Well greens were aerated and there was no notice in the booking! Fairways were fair but weeds and dirt anywhere else up tot he green.sure not a 55 green fee course. Was told they didn’t have the budget to compete with the course I compared them too! Oh well. If it was convenient then maybe 25 round but not a dollar more!
Fair and Simple Assessment
I've been playing this course for years. It has certainly seen better days.
Simply put, 4 star layout with 2 to 3 stars in ALL other areas. Honestly, it's in the same shape as all the other courses in the area (red tail, eagle Dunes) which is great at all. Greens are packed damp sand with no grass creating predictably horrible rolls. Fairways are mainly dirt and dried grass. More to talk about but you get the point.
$25-30 is a fair price to pay. Anything more will leave you disappointed.
The greens were not aerated (last Aerification was in April 2023. We always notify our customers prior to booking and then for the next 2-3 weeks after) . You may have seen some spiking that is a maintenance tactic that we do approximately every three weeks. Whereas this MAY be visually noticeable, this action in no way affects the roll of the ball. This is a necessary process that keeps the greens healthy and to allow air and moisture into the ground, especially this time of year.
