Bear Slide still a gem

Not sure I've ever seen the fairways in as pristine shape as today. Greens soft . . . maybe too much so? Regardless, this is my favorite piece of property in the state of IN. Walking in mid to upper 80s was a workout but we were ready for it. The closing holes were the tough stretch to walk.

Thanks for the great feedback. The crew really appreciates when I pass the comments along. Have to water a little heavier sometimes as our college and high school kids are gone. Not enough staff to back off on the water and drag hoses to hit the dry knobs etc. like we can when in the summer.

Trophy Club a knock out . . . beautiful. Golf Now rates unbeatable anywhere in

finest piece of property I've seen in central IN. great condition, greens rolling fast and true. I would play regularly if 10 miles closer to civilization but worth the trip.

Normandie Zoysia Struggling

Great layout and greens in good shape but, wow, the zoysia grass in the fairways was in rough shape. it was all going to seed and maybe they need it to. perhaps that is only way to restore lots of bare spots in the fairways.

Pebble North Rocks

Finest Greens in the area. Course has recovered beautifully from the hot/dry stretch and is in great shape. They are reconstucting several bunkers which when accomplished will only add to the aesthetics and challenge of this forgotten gem. Golf snobs may thumb their nose at this one but I know better.

Our favorite track in Central IN

Bear Slide is a GREAT layout. Off the beaten trail . . . and picturesque. Part links, part forest . . . a tale of two different nines. Each hole memorable which is my barometer for a course of significance. Clubhouse build remains elusive but the course itself offsets the absence of glamourous facilities. Range and practice areas are EXCELLENT also.
