Black Bear Golf Course

This Tom Jackson–designed course provides golfers the opportunity to get away from the confinement of homes lining each hole. Black Bear Golf Club is a classic parkland course completely engulfed by nature. It may look intimidating with its 23 finger lakes, but the wide fairways and smooth Champion greens are very playable.
