keep your head down

The greens were in great shape and were firm yet held the ball. There were some fairways and tee boxes that could have used come TLC but overall they were well maintained. We were surprised by the number of blind tee shots and not really being able on several occasions, to know the shape of holes or an aiming point off of the tee. We enjoyed the weather and the day on the course.

Unexpected Gem

I went to the course the day before my tee time to hit some balls at the range and that made me wonder about the course. The grass on the range was nicely mown but not well kept and the angle at which you hit is odd. The range balls also left something to be desired. My fears were unfounded as the next day the course was in tremendous shape with closely mown green fairways with only moderately long rough with wonderfully true rolling greens that weren't too tough to read. I enjoyed playing this course and returned two days later to find the course in the same wonderful condition it had been in two days earlier. In addition, the staff was very helpful. Full marks!

Dormant grass

I've never played this grass when it isn't dormant so I don't know what it is supposed to play like, but it was more challenging than most courses I play to take some grass with my irons. The greens were fast and undulating with tough to read breaks. I lost several strokes due to my inability to read the greens and adjust to their speed. I enjoyed myself and would play here again at this price point.

Luck of the draw.

Luck smiled on me several times during my round at Bear's Best, from getting a few nice bounces back into the fair way to the beer cart girl showing up just as I ran out of water on this 105 degree day but mostly that luck was in the two-some I was paired with for the day. They are members at Bear's Best and were great about giving me good information about how to play holes, targets to aim at, and inside info like, "Park in the shade any chance you get. It's not good to get your buns toasted out here on a hot seat." The course, I was told was closing on Aug. 22 so my members said things weren't as immaculate as usual but the only issue I had was the condition of a few of the tee boxes, either too shaggy or burnt to a crisp. Other than that the course was in great shape. I most appreciated the practice facilities having not played in a while it was great to have range balls included in the greens fees, the chipping green was adjacent to the driving range for convenience and the putting green gave me a good feel as to what I would find on the course. I enjoyed myself immensely at Bear's Best and would recommend it to friends.

Nice Course

Bluff Creek is a well kept course, both my playing partner and I commented on the quality of the greens. The elevation changes offer some entertainment value and add some challenge to club selection. There had been quite a bit of rain the day before we played but the course held up nicely even though the cart paths didn't. The only item that we both noted was the condition of the tee boxes, grass quite long and not in the kind of condition the rest of the course presented. Overall, we'd both go back and play Bluff Creek if we found a deal like GolfNow's.

Spring Break Golf

The fairway grass was still dormant but that didn't effect play other than to make it tougher to see your ball in the fairway. Greens ran true but often had double breaks which increased the challenge. We were chased off of the 13th tee box by an aggressive goose but managed to par the hole with hearts still racing. The driving range was great, hitting off of grass always has its rewards and the options for targets was wonderful. We liked this course and played it a second day to see if we could master it after failing to do so the first day.

target golf

The fairways were narrow on many holes but if you were in the fairway getting to the greens wasn't an issue. Once on the greens, the undulation and slope required attention to detail to make a good putt. The 1st and 16th holes were a bit odd especially playing the course for the first time. Score would improve dramatically once course knowledge grew.
