Rating:*

  • Layout: 8
  • Conditions: 8
  • Staff: 8
  • Value: 7

TCS™: 7.75

— Not counted in TCS™, but just as important (imo):

  • Pace of Play: Fast (given that two groups let me play through, after my experience at Twin Warriors this was VERY refreshing; restored a bit of my faith in golfers these days)

*All ratings are out of 10 possible points.

Commentary:

Nice course. The first few holes felt just “okay” maybe a bit above average, but as you get further away from the clubhouse the holes improve. I really liked 6-8, 11-14, and 17, with either 6 or 14 my favorite hole on the course. Conditions are well above average, but the fairways were a bit chopped up. The man in the clubhouse was very nice. I got through my round at The Grand Bear so quickly that I was about two hours early, he got be right out, even scooted me in front of a couple foursomes that were about to go out. THANK YOU, sir! At $80+ it is above average on value given the niceness of the course, but still a bit on the pricey side for a round. I wouldn’t pay that again to play this course.

Here is a rubric for how I would interpret the TCS™

10 – Simply amazing, go play this a.s.a.p.! Are you on your way?!
9 – One of the best, just not spot on "perfect" in every way. Play It!
8 – One of the best courses in the area; well worth the trip to play.
7 – Worth a round if you are within a reasonable distance. Good conditions and interesting layout.
6 – An above average course that is worth your time if you're close by. Should provide a nice round.
5 – An average course. Decent layout, decent conditions, and the value hits the sweet spot. The one to play after work for a quick round. However, it lacks an overall wow factor.
4 – Below average, but moderately interesting in places.
3 – A poor course. Conditions are pretty bad but the cost of a round usually outweighs the conditions. Play with your friends who are too cheap to pay for a better round of golf.
2 – Bad, but playable. Play it when you need some practice before spending $$$ on a "better" course.
1 – A very bad course, but often has a deal you can't pass up (e.g., I have played a few like this; got 18 and a cart for only $5, yeah, I'd play about anything for that too).
0 – The only way I'd "play" this course if it was in my backyard and it was free. I mean who turns down a free "driving range" which is all that this "course" is good for, not for golf but to hit balls at and forget about.
