This was my 1st time playing this course. It was a beautiful fall day. A bit windy, but it was really a great day to hit em. Didn't hit them great (89), but the course, the staff, the cart lady, the other golfers in the group, were all just awesome! I was really curious about the shotgun start, as this wasn't a tournament, but it really worked out well and the pace of play was excellent. I hope I see other opportunities to play this nice, scenic course.

Today was the best "weather day" in a 10 day stretch for our area. I could not think of a better way to spend the day. The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. The fairways were outstanding as were the greens. Not sure why we never saw a snack-person on the course, so we had to wait until the turn for food and drinks. Aside from that, it was a perfect day all the way around.

No need to say much more. Aside from the greens, everything else was pretty wet; not the best of conditions.

I played decently and the .weather was perfect. The fairways were decent but the rough was rough, and worst of all, were the greens. All of the greens looked terrible; like they were sick or something. They rolled fairly true but we really damp and sickly looking. I don't think this course is quite right just yet.

Had a chance to play Lakemont on Saturday. Overall, the day was pretty good. I did not hit em as well as I would have liked, but, I did beat up on my good friend. The course had a good bit of residual wet spots. I struggle to hit out of muddy and/or wet fairways, and that was quite evident today. The bunkers, which I found with great regularity, has some of the best sand I have ever had the pleasure of hitting out of. Again, overall a good day and a nice course to play when found in the below 60 dollar price point. Also, there was a very nice "cart lady" named Alice. She is truly a plus for this course. She is very friendly and although she is slight in stature, she does a great job of squaring away golf gear, before and after a round; hats off to you Alice, and hats off to SMGC for having her in your services.

Everything was perfect I just hate the fact that non residents had to pay a resort fee on top of the regular fee to play there ...other than that great course great folks.

This has to be my 1st negative/poor review. I typically won't post the poor ones, but today, I make an exception. This is without a doubt, the worst course I have ever played. The customer service was bad; the carts were bad; the course was bad (aerated and weeds everywhere). I had to drive my playing partner out onto the course in order to use the restroom before the round. There is no driving range. The greens, although recently aerated, were terrible. The aeration was probably a positive thing. This was my first AND last time playing here. A very big disappointment and if I could rate it less than 1 star, I would.

The last time I played this course, it ate my lunch. Today, I took a little time to get familiar with the greens and that seemed to be the difference. The course was perfect; from the tees to the green. The greens are probably the fastest and smoothest that I have ever played. However, they rolled true and that is a plus. I had a very early tee time on a Tuesday; didn't see a cart person for drinks and such, but, I was moving at such a great pace, I didn't mind that one bit. There are signs absolving the course from any covid related liability or death, but, I have seen and heard this to be happening in numerous other places. Practiced safety first, so, I didn't have a concern here. I don't normally pay over forty bucks to golf, but truth be told; I'd pay that again for a course in such great condition. If you are in the area, give them a try. I plan on being back in the near future.

Wow! What can I say? I was supposed to play another course today...but I ended up playing at Grand Bear...I was NOT disappointed. As a matter of fact...I played 36 holes. The course was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. The staff was awesome...even the guys who came out and greeted me at my car were professional and courteous! The nice lady on the beverage cart...Teresa...made regular checkups on us to insure that we were well taken of. If you are ever in the area...this course is a must play.

Great day for golf...played well...course in really good shape!
