The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Grizzly Course is a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Since opening in 1972, this challenging layout has been host to numerous PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA events. The golf course features long, curvy fairways lined with towering trees and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. The three final holes feature water hazards, which are also accompanied by a difficult array of bunkers. It offers a fair amount of difficult holes but overall the course is playable for a range of skill levels, which is why it is an appealing layout for tournaments. In addition to the two courses, the Golf Center also boasts an 11,000-square foot putting green and an Academy Course with four championship holes.
Also known as The City of Mason Golf Center - Grizzly Course.

stacked up on fairway! #Grizzly Photo submitted by todski26 on 11/12/2012
Nice Course - DON'T WALK IT
It's a nice course. Fairways are in great shape. They're doing some work on #9 so bounced us over to another hole on an adjacent 6 hole course. Asked the guy if I could walk. He probably should have said "Yes, BUT" the greens and tee boxes are miles apart and you'll walk through neighborhoods before getting there! By the second 9, I was cooked...definitely hurt my score.
The course is in great shape from tee to green. Hole 9 on front closed . Looks like they're doing away with water hazard that fronts the green area . Play academy #1 to replace 9 .
Great course
Course is challenging and tight. If you are the kind of golfer that isn’t strong off the tee, this may not be a good course for you. Trees line both sides of most fairways. Greens are small, very firm, and lightning fast.
Overall a great course and well-maintained!
Always a Safe Option
I’ve played the grizzly a couple times and can’t say I’ve ever been disappointed. The course has a very beautiful lay out but walking this course will seriously test you as it is incredibly big and winds through and under roads in the surrounding neighborhoods many times. If you’re looking for a traditional golfing experience that will leave you satisfied you can’t really go wrong here.
I never found myself stunned or blown away while golfing here but I do find myself instinctively saying “how about the grizzly” more than anywhere else since the consistency can be expected.
Great day for golf
Grizzly was in great shape. Course was wet but recommend to all. Great rate for spring golf.
Cart path only and the course wasn’t that wet. Got rained out after 12 holes.
