One of the Toughtest Courses in the Midwest; in the Midst of Wild Nature

Designed by golf great Jack Nicklaus, The Bear is our best-known golf course and described as one of the toughest in the Midwest. You'll quickly appreciate this beautiful par 72, links-style course featuring Scottish terraced fairways, tiered greens, deep grassy roughs, moguls, mounds, and deep pot bunkers. Lakes, ponds, hardwood forests, streams, and fruit orchards are home to a variety of wildlife that give The Bear its character: golf in the midst of wild nature.

Listen to what one of golf's legends has to say about The Bear:

"The people who play here are going to have a challenge and also have some fun, whatever level of golfer they might be...with rolling land, trees, lakes, streams and flatland, you have a mixture of different features that you rarely see on one course. That's what makes this course unique. No two holes are similar."
- Jack Nicklaus
