In summary

Black Bear Ridge Golf Course is highly praised for its well-maintained, challenging course and excellent accommodations, with many visitors highlighting the friendly and accommodating staff, particularly Katie, who enhances the overall experience. The "stay and play" packages, including the Carter House, receive accolades for their comfort and amenities.

Amazing experience - Stay and Play at Black Bear Ridge. We stayed in the Carter House, all 12 of us, so much place, never have we felt squeezed in. Big table to eat, big sofas. They can deliver food, they bring the carts to the house in the morning. The golf course is the cherry on top of the sundae, well maintained, fun to play. Strongly recommend!

Very nice golf course. Greens in great shape and fast, challenging course that will penalize you if you are not accurate off the tee. Stayed at one of the stay and play houses, overall excellent experience - Katie the hospitality manager is excellent! Great customer service. Laid back but professional feel. They have a high attention to detail which is rare these days. Only issue is the bugs. They were brutal and only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

The course is in pretty good condition considering the lack of rain. The greens are nice. However, the course management needs considerable improvement. Our round on Saturday took 5+ hours and the course Marshall was dismissive of the slow play and didn't do anything to speed up the pace. This is despite the fact that our cart indicated we were 45 minutes behind. They also rationed ice cubes because the machine was broken but the cart girl indicated that it's been broken for a month. The group in front of us were hacking around, playing "games" and generally taking their time all the while the…

Katie and BBR team were amazing. The Carter house was fully stocked. Breakfast delivered every morning. Catered dinner right on time. Carts dropped off and picked up and tee times booked at BBR and local courses. All we had to do was show up. 16 men with not a single complaint. Now that's impressive. We will be booking next year again.

A very disappointing experience that is best described as a comedy of errors. They charged $250 for a twilight round for two people. When we arrived, we checked in and went out to the first tee. There was no starter around, and after searching for a couple minutes and trying to find tees, we were told none are provided and we had to buy some ourselves. No issues the first couple holes, but after that the bugs really started to become an issue, making it impossible to focus. It’s an absolute must to bring bug spray here, the bugs really are an issue and the course should invest in better insect…

A group of 10 stayed at the Carter House for 3 nights and played the course 3 times. We had a fantastic time. The Carter house is really good looking, large and comfortable. Lots of great little details, as well as all the essentials. Bocce course in the yard was an evening highlight as well. Katie who we dealt with for booking etc was excellent to work with...very accommodating and helpful. The golf course is great. Many interesting holes, with lots of elevation change. Bev cart and restaurant have lots of good options and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Everything start to finish was amazing. I have to say I stress about organizing big trips and Katie was patient and her communications skills are top. Every staff member we encountered were so nice and fun! The sandwiches at the turn really need work so stick to hot dogs if you can they are amazing. The house, the food at the house the breakfast! If they get a pool we will never leave. This isn’t to mention that the course is beautiful, challenging and well kept. Our only golf bummer was both days we had to start on the back nine. Can’t wait to go back! Big thanks to the team at BBR!
