Bear Lake Golf Course

Every year for the last 6 years, I have played this course as part of a golf trip with some friends. We love this place!!! The course is so fun to play. The layout is interesting with several challenging dogleg holes and slope changes that make it moderate difficulty. The scenery is amazing with beautiful Bear Lake as the backdrop. The course is typically well kept and is well above average for similar mountain/rural courses in Utah. The management is terrific. They are very friendly and make you feel like family. Each year when we come up in the fall we play the course for several days usually getting in 72 holes over 3 days playing the same 9 over and over. It is a blast. We are excited that there are plans to built another 9 holes to expand it to 18. If you take the time to come play this course you will fall in love with it too. Note: I was looking at some of the other reviews. Some have commented on the rough shape of the course. We just played this weekend and it is in good shape. See the pictures. In talking with the management it sounds like they had some challenges this spring but they have done a great job recovering from that. It isn’t perfect but again, for a mountain/rural course it is well above average. This is a family friendly course. You will often see golfers on this course of all ages. As a result, sometimes it does get backed up. If you are a golfer in a hurry then maybe this course isn’t for you. It definitely has a calmer and slower feel. With that said, most of the time we are able to play nine in 2h to 2h15min.

A beautiful course in a good overall location. The driving range is on a large downhill and is only about 250 yards long, so you can't really hit woods or your driver without running out of room. Everything else is great!

The Superintendent should be commended for the quick healing of this course from just a few months ago as reflected in previous reviews. Beautiful course, scenic, very playable, really enjoyed playing it, my 322nd course in a little over 5 years!

I really enjoyed this course! Our group was able to go before Memorial Day weekend when Bear Lake gets busy, and the course was great! It’s a bit hilly but that’s what made it such a good variety! The workers were nice with our carts as well and we got some really cool thunderstorms when we played in mid-May. I look forward to coming back here and playing!

So I’m not a golf expert at all, but I enjoyed the course and had a good time. The grounds were well maintained and the carts were fully functional. The best part by far was the view on the course. You get a fantastic view of the lake the stretches out long and far. Honestly, I would have preferred to just stand and stare rather than play. Overall, a great time.
