Nice afternoon of golf!

Fox Bend was a great course for me, as it has wide open fairways and just enough water to keep me humble but not frustrated. It was challenging enough for me to make it fun but not overwhelming. It was disappointing to have three greens under construction and having to use temporary greens, but not a deal breaker. It was hard to know where those greens were when hitting to them, and putting was more difficult, but again, not a deal breaker. The regular greens were more contoured than they looked, which made putting rather challenging. Fox Bend gave us a fun yet challenging round of golf and we would play here again. Pace of play was really quick and we finished 18 holes in 3.5 hours.

Enjoyable Course

My husband and I played Blackberry Oaks for the first time and we'll be going back. It was a challenging course for both of us, as you need strategy, not power, to play well. There was more water on the course than I like but only one water hole really challenged me out of my comfort zone. Some of the tee boxes were really torn up, which was unfortunate. Overall, the course was very pleasant and playable and worth the long drive to get to Bristol. The starter was a really pleasant guy with a lot of good tips about the course. Nice people. Nice place.

Good day for golf

My husband and I had a gift card for a hot deal on Golf Now and chose Springbrook to play 18 holes. The pace was slow for many of the holes, but since it was a nice day (barring 20+mph winds), we just let it go and didn't try to play through. The course is really challenging for me, as I've only played a few years. But my husband really likes it. I prefer Naperbrook - I like the links style play and find it challenging, but less so than Springbrook. There were a few areas where the fairways were brown and sparse, but overall it's a nice course and we enjoyed our round.

Enjoyed this course!

My husband and I played several other Hilton Head courses before playing Golden Bear and this one was our favorite! It was in great condition with nice, green fairways and excellent greens. The staff was so welcoming and helpful. The pace of play could have been a bit better, but we finished in good time. We never saw a ranger to help speed up the groups in front of us. The course itself was very challenging to me (I've played for only 5 years) and challenged my husband as well, and he's played his entire life. We both scored well and enjoyed the challenges of the narrow greens. It was a great course to play and in better condition than other more expensive and elite Hilton Head courses that we played. Definitely recommend Golden Bear!
