Challenging Course

I think this is the 4th time playing Black Bear over the past few years. Course is quite challenging. Some of the sand traps appear to be not well maintained and some greens had some patches of weed although cut short enough that this was not an issue. Overall I would say this is not really a course for beginners.

Nice day

Golf was OK except for the condition of many of the greens. Seems they have some sort of disease and a few were in pretty bad condition. If they get the greens fixed I would rate the course as good.

A bit too expensive

Prices at this course seem to have gone up since last winter and the course and conditions of the course don't justify an increase. Wife went to the washroom and she said it was disgustingly dirty.

Greens need work

We have played here a few times while in Florida. However this winter the greens are getting in pretty rough condition with lots of areas of no grass. Overall we like the course but the greens are a negative for us.

Relaxed play

We always enjoy playing at The Oaks as it is a fairly casual course. Not a course on the pro tour but we enjoy it because there isn't a bunch of players that think they are all Tiger Woods like some other courses. Everyone is friendly and home cooking in the small clubhouse.

Beautiful day

Was a great day for golf with perfect weather. Course was not busy however there was a 4-some ahead of us that held us up most of the round and din't let us play through. Since we were a fast moving 2-some they should have left us go ahead. Anyway that was the only negative to the day and not really an issue with the course - just inconsiderate players.....

Fun Day

Nice course layout and very casual play. Fun day. No sand traps. Fairways are a bit too short. Actually the shortest I have seen. Green in good shape. Course is in much better shape then it was 2 years ago.

Nice course

For the most part the course was in good condition except for hole 8 being closed due to very heavy rainfall a few days previous. Nice clubhouse and restaurant. Good parking area. Cart worked well. Greens in very good condition. A few areas of mud were around the course also because of the recent rains.

Challenging course

We have previously played Black Bear. Lots of traps but not much water. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Cool but sunny day.

Slow.....

We normally love playing Palatka however during March every year there are tournaments (which we knew) and apparently the ones in the tournament this weekend were out playing as well as the general public. Play was very slow however there was a group of 3 in front of us (I would say about 25 years old) and when they finished a green they would then proceed to throw down a few balls and continue to practice on the green. This would go on for several minutes even though we were on the fairway waiting to hit onto the green and there were other groups lined up behind us also waiting. My wife finally called the clubhouse. So these clowns would not do this when one of the course employees was there but as soon as he left they continued. Ended up taking close to 5 hours to finish which is close to double our normal 18 hole time. I would definitely not recommend Palatka during March any year and we won't be back before heading home to Ontario. It was a very aggravating and disappointing day. The course should have been letting people know what was going on ahead of time or just close the course to the public. We also saw 6 other people get fed up and leave while we were there.... terrible.

Love Black Bear

Course is always in good shape and we try to play when we come to Florida. Challenging traps on every hole. Greens in nice shape. Group in front was a bit slow however.

Back 9 is better

A lot of construction on the front 9 so will be better when this is complete. However the course was not affected too much but cart paths were dug up in some areas. Back 9 is good. Greens in good shape.

Challenging fairways

One thing I noticed is that on several holes you cannot see how far ahead the group in front is. Also some fairway had quite a slope left or right so was easy for the ball to roll off even though you hit a straight shot. Greens were in good shape as well as fairways.

Fun Course

Had a good time and everyone was very friendly. Is a 9 holes course and we went around twice. After the first 9 holes we stopped for lunch. Nice lakeside bar/restaurant. Great view over the water. Course is not what you would see on the pro tour but was fun. Would play again as long as it was a special price. Greens were definitely slower then the rest of the courses we have played.
