Jack Nicklaus designed the golf course at the Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run. The 18-hole, public course is touted as having one of the best layouts in the area. The par-72 course offers 7,014 yards of challenging and fun golf. Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run's design emphasizes strategy rather than power. Sand and water hazards add interest to the course. In addition to providing a great game of golf, the course also has picturesque scenery with the many oaks and pines that snake though the course. It has been named one of America's Top 100 Courses priced under $100.

Always reliable
Overseeding gives the best green fairway conditions, every year. Greens roll well altho mid speed. conditions overall consistently good, at a very reasonable price.
Pace can be a bit slow on the back, but fine today.

Everything was great but unfortunately we got stuck behind 2 groups of very slow golfers. Never saw a cart move more than 20 yards. 2 club changes and a new hack. No way anyone in the group in Front broke 100 for 9. 2 hrs 40 minutes to play front 9. They left and we play back in 1 1/2 hours.
