I brought some out of town guests to this course as part of a golf weekend. None of has had played here before and didnt know what to expect, but I have always heard great things. Well it's all true! We booked a twilight time to get a nice discounted green fee, the course is absolutely phenomenal. The fairways and tall grass surrounded the greens are so immaculate that you dont even want to hit the ball. I went towards the end of the season so I haven't gone back yet, but I can't wait! read more

Easily one of my favorite public courses in Indiana. Unique course design with some great holes and the back nine for me is the best 9-hole stretch in the state. Extremely underrated. Almost always in excellent shape and a phenomenal finishing hole. I see some negative comments in here about the staff, however, I personally have always found the staff very helpful and accommodating. Just writing to express my appreciation for this club and what it means to public golf in the Midwest. We're very spoiled when it comes to public golf in Indiana - message to all: please enjoy it! read more

One of the best courses we've ever played. The ranger that was out was so kind to us, as it was the first time we played the course. It is so incredibly challenging and beautiful. Very well maintained course and fast greens. We can't wait to play it again! Definitely worth all the hype we've heard from friends. Also, the hotdogs in the clubhouse slap. Lol. read more

Clubhouse was rude. Ranger was rude. Told us to speed up when we had a 2 hour and 10 minute front 9... when it was cart path only. Won't be back. read more

I'll start by saying it was worth the money. The hotdog and brats were very reasonably priced and, as you can see, they're not tiny! The brat was very good and bursted with flavor, especially when combined with some mustard and chopped onions. Hotdog... a little less so. It didn't have a lot of flavor, but definitely did its job! Condiments were as you would expect with the classics - packets of ketchup, mustard, mayo and relish, then a little dish of chopped onions. Personally, I'd love to see some brown mustard for the brats and maybe some banana peppers or extras to really spice up the bite break on the bend. The course itself was delightful with beautiful scenery, like the pictured deer family towards the latter end of the course. Only sad part was that the course was quite challenging for my level of expertise (not great), but that's entirely on me and not the wonder that is Bear Slide! read more

mans-club...We were " welcomed by "are any of you ladies golfers?" The staff followed us hole to hole to make sure us "ladies " weren't "holding up" the holes. it was a very passive aggressive experience for a group of 6 ladies. Very disappointing. Treat women better... read more

Pretty course, challenging and lots of fun! No GPS, bathrooms, water on course or cart girl. Would definitely play again.

It's a Great Golf coarse and it's very nice that our golf team gets to practice there (the Hamilton heights Jr varsity golf team)

Leg 2 of the 54 July 4th trip - an extremely nice and well maintained course in Cicero. The front 9 has more of a links feel to it while the back 9 has more woods and other terrain features. The greens were very challenging and differed in size (some smaller ones). Loved the course as much as Purgatory from a layout and playability standpoint. No GPS available in the carts but there was a yardage booklet with pin placement. Slowed us up a bit looking for sprinkler heads. Helped our playing partners were regulars here so knowing where to hit was beneficial. Major downer was the guy working the counter; what a jackass. I'm still mystified how much attitude you get from some people (not all) at golf courses as you plunk down a wad of cash for the "privilege" of playing there. As if they would only smile if Phil Mickelson walked in the door. Sorry to disappoint you pal...it's just me. I don't need my ego stroked but a simple smile and thank you (of which I received neither) would go a long way. Thankfully the woman working snack bar was extremely nice. I would play here again, but would rather play Purgatory where they seem to appreciate my business more and the golf feels comparable. read more

Bear Slide Golf Club - Hole 15 - very cool. - Golf Lessons Near Me - Cicero, Indiana

Got scolded by the ranger after getting a quadruple bogey on the 9th. enjoyed the free water after the scolding

The conditions have been less impressive in recent years, and while it doesn't compare to Rock Hollow, the layout is very strong. Holes 10, 15 and 16 are all among the top holes in the state, and probably two-thirds of all the other holes are in the "good" or "very good" category. (P.S. Holes 5 and 14 most certainly do NOT appear in either of those complementary categories) read more

OK - Indy area golf. Prairie View Rock Hollow Trophy Club Fort Ben Bear Slide Purgatory Heartland Crossing Brickyard all great golf courses My view - PV and Purg are tops - barely the others are fine courses. Played them all. Private club access - play the Stick. Then Bridgewater and Hawthornes. Want the old style of golf - Meridian Hills, Highland etc..... I would group TC, FB and BS together = HC is close behind. BY is cool - cars working on track most visits - too expensive - too wet. read more

I really enjoyed this golf course. The links style is very challenging, but fair. This course it's in great condition. It's a long haul from Indy, but well worth it. I'd recommend booking online, because they usually have a reduced price that makes this course about equal to what it's worth. The regular price is a little more than I'd be willing to pay. This course also isn't as crowded as some of the others around. The pace of play was very comfortable. read more

play this golf course for the first time. everything about it was awesome and it was late in the year. Greens rolled fabulous Fairways were cut to perfection. read more

Course is in great shape however, I would not recommend this course to anyone due to the crass, rude staff. Until they train their people on customer service, I would go to Prarie View Golf course instead read more
