Black Bear Golf Club - Mount Plymouth

Come on Black Bear, what is going on? Played last week and the course is in horrible condition. What happened? Played there a bunch last year and the course was in above average condition. Really enjoyed playing there. Let's get it together. Such a beautiful course but you are failing to keep it up. Please get this course into better shape. I won't be back until you do.

Course was in pretty terrible shape, weeds in the greens and don’t miss the fairway or you will be hitting out of dirt. Not worth your time or money.

Eight of us had a ball today! The staff went out of their way to make me and my guests feel special. I was proud of my local course and their dedication to service. Thanks to Team Black Bear!

First, I will start by saying that 1 star is too much for this horrendous first experience at the black bear golf club and I certainly won 't be coming back. After years of playing golf, this is the first time I have had such a bad experience.Second, the guy working in the pro shop check in should learn some people skills. It doesn 't take too much to say good morning to the customers approaching him at the register. Rather, he gave you the feeling that you were annoying him by speaking to him.Third, it was brisk day outside and we 2 people, 1 cart stopped at the turn for a hot drink and perhaps a small soup. We were greeted at the restaurant door asked if we were at the turn and quickly told we cannot stay long and were being pressured to get in and get back out on the course. Food purchases were limited to some pre made burgers and hot dogs under a heat lamp grab and go . After paying and using the restroom an owner literally told us to get out and continue playing, very rude. According to him, We were stopping the flow of play and there were A LOT of people behind us Ridiculous. After this unprovoked interaction the management stated I tried to warn you” as we walked out. There was hardly anyone on the course and we were ahead of the playing pace so I didn 't really understand why we were forced out in under 10 minutes. There was also no starter marshal, so rate of play and pairing was not being utilized. On the back nine there were 3 singles in a line. They seem to rely on just berating people in the club house to keep the rate of play. We still finished 45 minutes under the recommended pace, held up no one, and all after wasting a few precious minutes at the turn.Lastly, I am tremendously disappointed, it 's hard to believe they so casually treat people so poorly and the trend from the reviews has been confirmed. As for the course itself, it does present some challenges and the fairways were nice, but the greens were not good at all. They were full of gangly patches and riddled with unfixed divots and pin movements. Not worth the money they are asking and you won 't be treated nicely. Spend your money elsewhere.

Another great day at Black Bear. The course is in great condition and the staff, as always, is welcoming and friendly!!!
