Little Bear Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Little Bear Golf Club for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

You'll find Little Bear truly shines in late September and early October. The fall foliage is spectacular, the air is crisp, and the summer rush has subsided, giving you a more peaceful round. Just be sure to book your tee time well in advance, as this secret season is becoming increasingly popular.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Little Bear, and what's a must-see hole?

The elevation changes here are no joke, especially on the back nine-you'll need to factor in uphill and downhill lies constantly. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th, "The Cliff Hanger," where your tee shot needs to carry a deep ravine to a narrow green-it's a real test of nerve and precision.

Is Little Bear Golf Club good value for money, and what should I expect regarding costs?

Absolutely, Little Bear offers excellent value, especially if you play during a weekday morning. While weekend prime times can be a bit steeper, the course condition and unique layout justify the price. Expect standard green fees for a quality public course, and definitely consider a cart here-those hills are no joke.

Beyond the course, what's the vibe like at Little Bear, and what should we do after our round?

The vibe at Little Bear is wonderfully unpretentious and focused purely on great golf. After your round, grab a burger and a local craft beer at "The Den" in the clubhouse-their patio overlooks the 18th green and is perfect for reliving your best shots. It's a true local gem, not a resort experience.

Any specific gear or advice you'd give someone playing Little Bear for the first time?

Definitely bring extra golf balls; those ravines and wooded areas can be hungry. We also recommend wearing comfortable, supportive golf shoes because you'll be navigating some serious slopes. Don't forget your camera for the views from holes 7 and 15-they're truly breathtaking.
