The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Grizzly Course is a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Since opening in 1972, this challenging layout has been host to numerous PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA events. The golf course features long, curvy fairways lined with towering trees and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. The three final holes feature water hazards, which are also accompanied by a difficult array of bunkers. It offers a fair amount of difficult holes but overall the course is playable for a range of skill levels, which is why it is an appealing layout for tournaments. In addition to the two courses, the Golf Center also boasts an 11,000-square foot putting green and an Academy Course with four championship holes.
Also known as The City of Mason Golf Center - Grizzly Course.

You can definitely tell this course was very nice at some point, those days are long gone though however.
I paid 40 bucks to play on a hot deal and would not pay that again, course is in rough shape and the layout is insanely long. This is a challenging course but there are many that are much nicer in the area.

The course is in great shape . Maybe monitor groups to stay in position . Keep ball washers full . Plus some cold water stations on the course . Overall great value for the money .

Clubhouse attitude
Everything was nice about the course except the elderly women in the clubhouse that does the checking in. Their attitude started at a solid 7 upon walking in. Would recommend to someone maybe
We apologize for any negative experience you had with the elderly woman in the clubhouse during the check-in process. Thank you for your feedback and for recommending our course to others.
Fun except for Goose Poo! 🤢
The course was in decent shape, except for the bunkers were a bit rough, and tee boxes a little weedy. The greens were running great, and this has always been a fun course to play. However, they have got to do something about the geese / several of the holes are loaded with goose poop. greens and fairways. I know this is an issue for a lot of courses, but it is REALLY REALLY bad here and needs to be addressed as it creates a health hazard. Staff was super friendly and beer selection is great at the clubhouse. With a little more work they could get this course back to its past glory.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of the bunkers and tee boxes. We're actively working on addressing these areas. We also acknowledge the issue with the geese and are exploring solutions to ensure a cleaner and safer course. We're glad you enjoyed the greens, friendly staff, and beer selection. Your input is valuable, and we look forward to enhancing your experience in the future.

Winter play
It was a cool winter day in which we tee'd off at 37 degrees. It was breezy but not windy and temp rose to 50 by back nine. The course was a little soft as expected but otherwise in great shape considering it was early February.
Had higher expectations for a former PGA course
Guy at the check-in turned us off right from the get go. Acted as if it was Donald Trumps private country club. Course was in decent condition for January. Have to admit, not a big fan of the course. We typically play Elks Run in Batavia for same cost and the courses don’t even compare. I expected the course to be nicer for a former PGA course (70s). I will say though, their golf carts were amazing. New and the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in for a golf cart!!!
