Ordered food in a group, husband and my food good but, was cold. Baked Potato , butter didn't melt. We didn't say anything due to being 8 others.

The whole facility was excellent, from bag drop to last hole. Staff were friendly, and well oiled to get things rolling. Parking is a bit of a problem but being it is a multi course facility and residential area it is quite busy! Tee times were right on the money and a beautiful afternoon, what more can a golfer ask for! Highly recommend you get a tee time here!

Played Bear Trap Dunes over the weekend. Beautiful course. Lousy management. Couldn't finish the round because it got too dark. Played 15 holes in 5:15 minutes because of huge backups. Example on hole 10 there were 3 foursomes waiting to tee off. We had to wait on every shot after hole 8. Either they had too many players, were not policing the pace of play or both. Either way it's completely unacceptable. For the amount of money we pay for the course we should be able to play the entire course in a reasonable amount of time. People fly in, rent housing, rent cars and pay to play golf. To have…

Starter was extremely pleasant. Landscapers were super nice. Course was very nice. Do not appreciate being scolded by someone to speed up when we are stuck waiting at every tee box.

Very nice course but no rangers anywhere to be found and pace of play was ridiculous. We had to forfeit 5 holes or our round would have been 6 hours. Will not ever play this course again. A waste of $150.

John Brunson is the new chef and the food was amazing! He was so kind and came to our table and accommodated our dietary restrictions. Prime Rib Saturday is worth the trip!! So excited about this new chef! Brooke was also a great server

Traveling through town on business and was able to book a tee time as a single. From the pro shop to the starter, everyone was professional, polite, and extremely helpful. They treated me as if I was a paying member and answered my questions about the course like they knew me by name. Thanks for a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!

I have played this golf course for past 10+ years and I have always been impressed with the staff. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and makes me feel like I am at my home away from home. This is from the Pro shop staff to the outside staff to upper management. The golf courses are great and are always in pristine condition. Challenging layouts but all 9s provide plenty of birdie opportunities. I shot my career low on Black Bear/Kodiak 30-33 63 -9 last July there with my grandad. Score aside, this has always been a place that I look forward to going each and every year my family and…

Played this past Friday with our group of 8. We had the first two tee times. Everything was great. From the bag drop, pro shop, starters, and the snack shack. Played 27 and it was a great day. Look forward to coming back.
