Good Luck
I wish new owners the best of luck!
Very friendly and much has improved since my last round of golf out there. Had fun.
Thanks
Cart paths on some holes need help side area of some greens just dirt. Overall I like the course and Rob
Nice and improving
Great course! Only improvements - greens should be down sized a little. Course needs better signage. Club house is getting a face lift which looks nice.
It’s back and better than you might imagine…
After a 10+ year hiatus we decided to give Black Bear another try after hearing that new owners had taken over.
It is back and super enjoyable. Probably the best golf value in Northern Michigan.
This course is a nice northern Michigan course.
Played this course for the first time and found it very challenging. If you don’t stay in the fairway it will make you pay. Course was in good shape and they were making it even better. You will not find a better value for your money. Will definitely be back.
Wonderful surprise.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 19 hole round at the New Black Bear! New owners have made, and continue to make, significant improvements. They have a vision for the future that will benefit the golf community and beyond. Hats off to the New Black Bear! We will be back!
Wow
Not sure what this course was like when it received the lower reviews, but this course was great. Keep up the good work! I will definitely be back.
Keep improving the place
Great day. Course starting to show signs of fall creeping in. Best value play in northern Michigan. Will keep coming back.
Rolling hills/ picturesque
Such a fun course to play and everyone on the ground were friendly and fun to chat with
Beautiful Course
Very scenic course - course is in great shape
We had an awesome time playing here
Very Nice Course!
Black Bear Golf Course was booked thru Golf Now.
The price was great and we wondered if it would live up to the website description.
It did!
The course is challenging but fair.
It offers hills, trees, sand traps, water, and undulating greens. On the front nine several greens were recently sanded.
On the back nine they were great.
The staff was friendly and quick.
This was an enjoyable round on a very nice course.
Great Course, Affordable Price
The greens were punched unfortunately when we played, but this is a great course which has undergone quite a bit of improvement it seems. With a bit more love, this will be a fantastic course.
Most improved
I played this corse for the last 3 years
The new owners should win an award for the most improved corse definitely will be playing this corse a lot more in the future
