Better than you think.

The challenge of Blackbear is the elevated greens which were also quick. Number 9 green had some bad patches on the lower front otherwise ok. Greens overall could use better grass coverage. Traps were excellent although a few have erosion problems. In all traps you are allowed a free drop closer to the hole but in many cases that is unnecessary. A fun course in better shape than some have said.

Very slow

There was a tournament. NXXT women. Walking. Very slow. 5 hours. Redtail should not book groups right behind them. Leave at least an hour behind the last group. Or better yet, let the golfing public know what's going on before booking a tee time.

Great Course but

One of the best courses in the area. Fairways are spotty with some hardpan or sandy areas but overall not bad. Greens had been recently sanded so there are working on them. Greens are challenging when right. Some of the bunkers were not fit to hit out of. Will play there again.

nice course

Interesting layout. Conditions were good. A few bare spots in fairways but not many. Greens rolled well. Moderate speed. Traps in good condition. The only real water hazzard is 17, a par 3. Tee box was closed so you chipped on from 30 yards away. Number 12 also had a temporary tee box for a 110 yd shot for everyone. While it was not a big deal, in the interest of honesty, these changes should be known before you play. Nice that they're working to make the course better.

Fun Course. Not Easy. Good condition. Friendly staff. One complaint. Got stuck behind a sixsome on the 9th hole. Luckily they let us through on 10. That should never happen.

best service ever

We Played on a 100 degree day. They gave us a bottle of water at the start of the round. Then 3 times during the round a ranger checked on us. He offered ice, water and cold towels. Never seen anything like this.Thank YOU!

improvement needed

Pelican Bay had been improving but it's sliding back. Tee Boxes need to be cut. Sandtraps are hard. No rakes as well. Greens are ok but there are some bad spots. If you hit off the fairway, it can be a challenge to find your ball. Fairways are mostly good. Interesting course that needs better maintenance. No water to drink. No restroom facilities on the course.

Course improving

Course is interesting and conditions are improving. Tee boxes were poor but fairways and greens were ok. Carts are provided with a rake to help keep traps in good shape and they were. I live nearby so I play here occasionally. If you're within 30 minutes, course is worth a look. Staff is very friendly.

Great Course. Poor conditions

Used to play this course a lot when I lived nearby. Beautiful course. Scenic. Very challenging. Course needs a lot of work. Fairways are horrible. Greens may be ok at some point. Recently aerated. Staff is very friendly. They need to improve conditions before I recommend it for play.

Big improvement

I had played this course before and knew not to expect much. But that has all changed. From tee to green including the traps, this is a very well maintained golf course. Staff friendliness was always exceptional and still is. If you haven't played Pelican Bay for a while, you should try it again.

golf course wasn't the only challenge

So there's a gate to access before entering the property. The only problem is that you need a code. So I call the golf course. Voicemail! Not a good way to get started. Finally, a helpful person in the neighborhood knew the code to open the gate. I was greeted by a very friendly golf course employee who brought a cart and provided valuable information. Course is very interesting and challenging but it needs work. Some of the greens had bare patches with sand. The Bunkers were kind of hard and needed some work. The rough was also difficult as balls could disappear not far from the fairway. There were no rakes for the bunkers. There was no drinking water either. Pace of play was not much of an issue as there were not many people playing. However, we were held up a bit on the final holes by a fivesome. If it's still open to the public, I may try it again in the fall.

One of my favorite courses. Greens were pretty good. Traps in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes were looking a bit ragged. Otherwise. Nice neighborhood course.

Beautiful course needs work

Played with my cousin on a picture perfect Saturday. Very few players on the course. The course needs some work especially the greens. Many of the greens had sandy places where they were being treated. The greens ran fairly well all things considered. The lady in the pro shop said they were short on help especially in the maintenance area. Need a job? This may be the place for you. Very nice people here and a pretty course to play. I will play again.

Great course!

Beautiful course. All holes feature water but not always right in front of you. Greens were smooth but a little slow. Staff was super friendly. They even give you a free bottle of water. What a nice touch on a typically hot Florida summer day. Make sure you pick the right tees to play from or it could be a long day.

Fun course. Friendly staff

I have played here before. Last time the greens were like dirt. Now there is grass but still a little rough. Course is interesting with some water to cause problems if you stray too far off line. Tight in places but otherwise fairly open. One hole on the back requires a carry over water to get to the green. Price is right. Staff is super friendly. I would recommend this course if you can tolerate a little rough around the edges conditions. On number 2 there was a sand turtle in the fairway bunker. Interesting.

Impressed

Third time playing this course. Conditions were very good except bunkers had water from Sunday's rain. Lots of water hazards but they can for the most part be avoided. Employees were courteous. One negative. I entered the golf course through the east gate. Somebody tell the security guard at the gate to be a little more pleasant. No smile. No enjoy your day. No eye contact. Not a good way to enter the community. Somebody needs to talk to this woman. I arrived at around 11:50am on January 29th. Otherwise a great day!

quirky

Lots of water. Some tight holes. Greens looked horrible but putted fairly well. No rakes for the bunkers. Staff was friendly. Other golfers were not. People who live on the course overly protective of their property. If you don't want golfers near your property, don't live on a golf course. I would consider playing again but cannot recommend to others.
