Average Score (32)

With brand new Champion Bermuda grass gliding your ball across the green, a course you didn't think could get any better - just did. Engulfed by nature and surrounded by 23 glistening finger lakes the course is bold, beautiful, but with a flair for the dramatic. Every club in your bag will be pulled out on our wide fairways, and after a challenging round of golf let our friendly staff meet your every need at our Plantation-style clubhouse.

I liked the layout and design of the course but the conditions of the greens were horrendous. Very disappointing for any golf course in Myrtle Beach.

No. 18 was spectacular. Not too long but a great challenge. Great use of water and sand throughout.

I feel that the course layout was very fair. The course conditions could have been a little better. I telling all my friends that this is one course they must play.

Didn't like this course - too wide open - can see 6 or 7 holes from a single teebox - not a premium course but I don't consider $61 to be a bargain price for a course of this nature.

This was the last course that I played during my recent trip to Myrtle Beach, and for the $40 green fee it was the best value course. The course was in very good shape with medium-fast, very undulating greens and tight, narrow fairways. Even though the course looks wide open in many places, if you don't hit the short grass it's 50-50 that you will be able to hit the green. Black Bear is going to be on my list for next year.

Mainly due to overseeding. The greens were fuzzy and the fairways were long.

The grass was long due to over seeding and the rain prior to our arrival. We had played there before and know it could have been better.

Hugh, Black Bear is a beautiful course with several picturesque holes. A lot of water!! Unfortunately, we played this course right after the heavy rains of Ida so we did not get to appreciate the course as much as we could have under better conditions. Will definately play this course again. handicap, 11/17/2009
