Black Bear Golf Club
Played On 09/01/2017black bear
First time playing course after hearing great things for several years. Drove 45 minutes to play. Course had interesting rolling style of layout. However greens were unplayable and didnt putt close to the quality they were known for. Pace of play was very slow and no rangers were present. The temp was over 90 degrees and there was only one hole had water with cups. The rest were either absent of potable water or didnt have cups. Overall very poor experience on what should have been and amazing experience.

I am sorry you felt the greens were not up to "par". Our greens are for the most part very healthy, we have been forced to not cut them down as much to avoid getting burnt out. We had one broken water cooler on the day in question which has since been replaced, our apologies. We offer complimentary foam cups of ice you can take with you and fill up around the course. Every 3-4 holes we do have cooler stations.
As the temperatures cool down we will be able to cut the greens lower and bring them up to the speed you were expecting!
As far as pace of play goes, we have our pace set at 4 hours and 20 minutes. If you finished within this time or were playing at a pace that would finish in this time we would not have had an alarm to notify of slow play. I know playing as a twosome it often feels like you are playing slower than you really are when the rest of the course is foursomes.
We hope to see you again to give it a shot on a more comfortable day and bring two friends to make it a foursome!
