Needs work
Great layout. Small, well protected greens. Greens were a little sketchy with some bare and weedy spots, Tee boxes had been overseeded and were in good shape. Fairways, as happens in late fall, were patchy.

Could be better
Fairways were fine, greens not consistent and some have some issues with weeds growing.
Greens were bumpy and typically slow.

Black Bear is back on Track!
I was concerned about course conditions when I played in September, but I'm happy to report that they have been working hard to correct the issues. It's very playable now, and I really enjoyed my round!

Worth Every Penny
Played BB today and thought I would rebut some of the reviews here. To be fair, there are minor issues on a few greens but it in no way deters from a great round. Fairways are excellent, the staff is even better. This course is fair and challenging. One of my favorites for a reason.

Great layout, can see the potential.
Very fun course, rough around the edges but great place for the price paid. Pace was a little rough groups were stack up following a high school tournament. A 2 some in front of us taking 8-10 practice swings, hitting multiple balls and looking at their putts from 7 angles, getting 10’s on every hole had 3 groups piled on the 16th tee. Still had a good time and liked the course all together.
