Great course and very well maintained. A lot of tree lined holes and nice elevation changes. Played on a full day and the pace of play was great. There were a few blind shots that left you guessing and required some imagination which was a nice change. Overall I thought this was a very nice and enjoyable course but it was a bit more expensive than I would like for the ambiance and scenery it provided. It is a nice mountain course but it is very wooded and it doesn't provide the views or scenery that a luxury resort might offer for this same price. If money is no object then this is a course I would recommend. If you don't have money to burn then I would not recommend this course. I played a round in Hawaii for the same price. The people at Bear Dance should really come down on the price.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
