Gator at Golden Bear Photo submitted by fusselbe on 11/07/2012
Good morning round
Last day of the holiday weekend. I had the course to myself. The course is in good shape, usual fall/winter conditions, greens are in great shape. Pick the correct tees and this is a very enjoyable and challenging round of golf.
Beautiful Course.
We are never disappointed when we play Golsen Bear!
Good conditions, good twilight rate
Really liked the layout, course was in good condition. Greens were consistent, fairways in nice shape, several water holes which I like at a beach course. Affordable twilight rate (for HHI, still pricy compared to back home courses) after 2pm and was able to finish in 4 1/2 hours… book early to get the 2:00 time. Staff was friendly. Driving range was good.
Fun course .
Typical of HHI this is a flat, narrow, shortish course with some water but very fair even for a high handicapper.
Don’t waste your time or money
Staff was cold and unwelcoming. Pace of play was 5+ hrs. Don’t waste your time or money playing this course.
Enjoyed Course - Slow Play
Enjoyed Course....Very Good Condition.
Helpful Staff: Starter was able to get us out prior to scheduled start time, at our request.
It was a very busy week in Hilton Head - RBC Tournament in progress so expected many golfers and there were. All in took a 5+ hours to complete the round, and it was slow. None the less, would definitely come back for another round. Thanks for a great day of golf.
Beautiful Course!
The course is in mint condition, an absolute beauty! Lots of wildlife including gators! Will definitely make another trip to this course when we visit again. The only negative thing I can say is we were told cart girl would be coming by and that never happened. We thought no problem, we will refill drinks at the turn, clubhouse and all back doors locked at 5 pm. Had to golf the whole back nine with nothing to drink. Luckily it was a beautiful day in the 80s.
Indigo Run, The Golden Bear
Excellent course. Paid 150$, not sure it’s worth that, but it seems to be the going rate around there. Fairways and rough were in the most excellent shape I’ve played so far in my life. Greens rolled so slow that you had to blast even 6 ft putts, so I wasn’t impressed with them, but all in all… great course to spend 4 hours on.
Golden bear
Beautiful course, well maintained. Amazing and attentive staff , very classy
Very good condition
For early in the season course condition best I’ve played on Hilton Head Island
Overall a really nice course
Course was in decent shape, considering it is April. A few weed spots on the green. Got a good deal on GolfNow or value would have been much less. Haven't been here in years, but they used to have GPS on the carts (before it was common place). Did miss that. Nice to have a beverage cart on a Tuesday! Overall an enjoyable experience.
Only nice person was the cart girl
Staff very unpleasant from check in to starter .
Was told our pace of play was slow and we should pick up pace. Our group was slowed down by a fundraising solicitation for Veterns . We were trying to donate.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and the discomfort caused by our staff's approach, especially during your kind effort to donate. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we'll work on improving our interaction and sensitivity towards our guests and their contributions to good causes.
Nice course
Greens were in great shape. Fairways a little thin in spots. Pace of play was 4:45, too long.
Thank you for your feedback on our greens and fairways; we're sorry to hear the pace of play didn't meet your expectations. We're continuously working to improve all aspects of our course for a better experience.
The pace of play is killing golf
The round took over 4 1/2 hours. Way too slow as we waited on every shot.There was a very slow 4-some and then a single ahead of us. Why would the starter allow a single to go out in the middle of the day? The rangers need to step up & do their job. They need to force slow players to pick up the pace.
Thank you for your feedback and for noticing the good condition of the course for the time of year. We're glad you found value in our offerings and enjoyed the beverage cart, and we'll consider your thoughts on the GPS for future improvements.
