Came for lunch with my son, and wow what a surprise! Expecting bar food but boy I was wrong. First we started with loaded nachos with chicken added. Could have used more cheese but all around pretty good! For main I had a blue cheese burger with an over easy egg on top with bacon. My son had a regular burger with bacon and cheese. Both served with burger shack style fries. I also ordered a double shot of rum for all you alcohol drinkers. All around cool little golf course restaurant with a nice view

I go here for lunch often and the food has been very consistent and good. The people here have been very nice and they do a great job. It's a seat yourself type place with golf on the tv, a bar and a nice view of outside where there's seating as well. I would take a picture of the food here but I ate it too fast.Parking: More than enough parkingKid-friendliness: They have kid food options and it's not your typical club/bar atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Big doors up front, wide open walkway to bathroom, not a crowded dining area.

My family loves the food here. Their burgers are always amazing, especially when you have bacon jam on them! Portions are solid and the staff is super nice and attentive!

good food and nice bar...good prices and friendly service...pro shop well stocked, but guy at counter was less than personable. course is an absolute nightmare. greens severely damaged, fairways burned up by lack of irrigation, infestations and chemical imbalances. club house is well decorated, patio furniture needs some attention...not very welcoming outside...cushions missing and in disorder.

Staff was very helpful and friendly the course is nicely groomed and greens are good but on the other hand it is narrow with moguls on the sides that seem to bounce or roll your ball into the unknown. The sand traps have a mixture of sand and gravel, one I hit out of actually had a rock twice the size of my ball just under the sand that I hit. I lost 1 or 2 balls but my wife lost at least one for each hole. Gladly we only played 9. I don't think we will playing there again, price is reasonable but we can't afford the balls!

Super unwelcoming golf spot. Management changes needed. Mission Inn, Arlington Ridge, even Eagle dunes or Redtail better. Don't put up with this.

Our group (PRISM) has been playing Black Bear Golf Club for about 15 years. The course has been in great shape most of that time. After golf we typically stay and eat lunch. Great food and service.A couple of months ago we had three tee times on a Saturday. Two of our guys had to cancel out that morning so that left 2 open spots. Our friend who made the tee times was charged for the two player who were no-shows. We were not informed of this new rule.Our friend called the course and spoke with the owner. The owner's attitude was basically "tough beans." The owner stated that my friend should hang out with a better class of friends that wouldn't do no-shows.After 15 years our group will not play this course. Let me know when a new owner comes in!

This golf course is very reasonably priced . It has a great lay-out, with many interesting holes. It's very hilly, unlike most courses in Florida. The fairways were in fine shape. The greens had been punched about 10 days ago, so putting was atypical and unpredictable. Decent practice facilities. Four of us played our round today in under 4 hours. We would definitely play here again.
I've been playing this particular course on/off for the past several years. Being a Pete Dye course, I've always enjoyed the unique, and challenging layout. The course does reward you for making great shots. Anything less , and you're left in a precarious situation. The course aside for a moment, this course needs massive improvement in guest relations, and how they welcome and treat the golfers when the arrive in pro shop. Other than the volunteer starters; the pro shop staff would highly benefit from an extensive course(no pun intended) in customer service. I can say with the utmost confidence; that today will be the last day I'll book a time here. The way they treated both me, and my 7 year old daughter(to whom I'm introducing the game) was unforgivable. In fact, we didn't even play today. We left the facility, and headed over to Red Tail, which I must say had come a long way with the issues they experienced a couple years ago with their greens. Course was in good shape, so was the customer service. Black Bear has lost a long time customer, and a future customer given my daughter is showing a keen interest in the game. For those of you taking the time to read this review; if you're simply willing to fork over 80 bucks to play decent course(at best); then this is the course for you. If your money means more to you, and you want an experience; I'd highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Friendly staff! Course was in great shape. Small greens but generous fairways. Price was reasonable for winter golf.

It was good for what it is, a restaurant for people who get hungry while golfing. Would I recommend visiting just for the restaurant? No, probably not. But if you live in the neighborhood or are coming to golf, it's a good place for lunch and one of the few restaurants in the area. We had the chicken sandwich and the Philly. The tuffel fries were tasty and crispy.
