Best course in the area

Travelled to the area and have played a handful of courses. This one is by far the best if you’re willing to pay more than $50-60 for 18. Superb conditions You won’t find anywhere else in this area. Layout was great, greens rolled true and fast can’t wait to play it again

It was that good

Course was fabulous.
Played with a couple of club pros from Toronto. They made the trip specific for this course, and could see why. It was probably in the best condition of any course i've played, anywhere. was challenging and interesting, and a stunning layout. would come back anytime.

Best Course, Best Value.

A private course layout offered at a public player"s cost. This course was built and designed to the standards of the best private courses and is always ranked in the top public courses in Ontario and in Canada. Challenging to all levels (the back tees will challenge the best golfers) with interesting elevation changes, and a combination of links and woodland environments. It does not get overplayed with tournaments and is therefore in excellent condition. Great practice and teaching area. This is a destination course for anyone who enjoys a great course and a beautiful setting. The money was spent on the course, not on a fancy clubhouse, though the facilities are fine.

Black Bear Ridge is by far the finest track in the Quinte region.....perhaps in all of eastern Ontario.
Impeccable turf conditions and excellent course design make BBR a world class golf destination.
Super fast and very smooth greens are its greatest asset.
The elevation changes provide great scenery and challenging shots .
Green fees and power cart for under $100 make BBR the best value you can find for a primo track...if it was in Toronto the green fees would be well over $200.
If you want golf at its very best go to Black Bear...this course is top quality.
