Gator at Golden Bear Photo submitted by fusselbe on 11/07/2012
Fun Course!
Course was in great shape! Nice cart paths and water stations scattered around. Friendly staff
Amazing Greens
Course was in great condition for late March. Had overseeded in the fall…everything green! Greens were in best condition on any course played in HHI….rolled true!
Great Course
The weather was Perfect. I played with a father & son from MI and they were great to play with. Staff was friendly and the course was in excellent shape for late March. The course was challenging but not too hard. I highly recommend the course and will be going back next year.
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the perfect weather, the company, and our course's condition! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.
Golden Bear Golf course was a disappointment.
We were very disappointed with this course. The staff on the clubhouse was not friendly as we checked in.
We were rushed to tee off as they were ahead of schedule. Our tee time was chosen as it was the time that suited vs an earlier time.
The cart paths were rough with many potholes.
Some of the women’s tees were weedy.
We had never played at this course before. There was not a map of the tees /fairways either in the cart or on the score card.
Generally, we were very under whelmed by this course. We will not return and I would not recommend to others.
Good value at discount rate
We booked our time after 2:00 for $65. A solid value compared to other courses. I don’t think it would feel the same at full price of $135. Course was in good condition but wouldn’t be worth the full price
The course is a good course, in good condition and it has some challenges. The employees were helpful and quite friendly. I am happy to recommend the course
Fantastic
First time we’ve visited HH, first course we played.
Great conditions and great attention to detail on turf and the course in general. Well done grounds crew!
$60 3pm tee time snuck us in before sunset. Slow play as to be expected.
A great deal compared to the next course we played (bear creek). Pick this one - it’s worth an extra $20+ or if similar prices for tee times.
Good course
Might be one of the best pubic courses on the island.
We're thrilled to hear you think so highly of our course! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great Day at Golden Bear
Let’s just say you should have got a 4-1/2 to 5 star across the board, BUT the pace of play was poor and your Marshall’s did little to nothing to improve it. That was as frustrating as dealing with the group in front of us. On hole #2 they spent 10 full minutes looking for their drives. We never saw a group in front of them until the 14th hole. The charity guy on hole #4 (par 3) said the group in front of that group was already at least 12 to 15 minutes ahead of the group in front of us. Which makes total sense. After our ordeal on #2. The Marshall warned them on hole #3 before he even saw us to say he attempted to hurry them up. Said he would be back. Saw him on 7 and said the same thing. Talked to the starter who said we were only 10-15 minutes behind. Our round was just over 4-1/2 hours, but should have been 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 if they were not there or let us pass. All I heard is they are members, they are not the owners, so no excuse. Too bad as the course was in great shape and it was a great day to play.
We're truly sorry for the frustration caused by the pace of play and the ineffective marshaling you experienced. Thank you for acknowledging the condition of the course and for taking the time to bring this to our attention.
Best Conditioned Course
Love playing this course..
Other than high end (and much more expensive) resort courses, Golden Bear is the best conditioned course on Hilton Head Island.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy playing at Golden Bear and appreciate the kind words about our course's condition.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're delighted you had a great experience.
