The Grizzly Golf and Social Lodge

This course was so fun!First, the staff is so nice, our reservation had gotten lost and they worked us in to get us out on the course which is so nice as I am from out of town visiting family and would have been disappointed to not be able to play.The course was nice and the holes are interesting and not to challenging from the forward tees!The only thing I would say is they could mark the holes better we got lost on the course a couple of times as there are two courses that seem to criss-cross! And ran into other lost golfers... so we're relieved it 'wasn't just us'! I rented ladies clubs and they were a little 'sad' could use an update- but aside from that the customer service was so good and people were so nice, and course was so great, it made up for anything else,Overall a great day in this fun local course!

Thank you Mariam for the awesome lessons!! I have been too shy to go and take lessons and admit how bad I am LOL. The hubby and I have been going here for quick evening dates and lessons. We have had a blast especially with our training Ms. Mariam. She is very patient and direct on her coaching. You get great tips and knowledge from her. Now, beware that you can see King's Island from where you practice so if your like me you may get a little distracted and start day dreaming of riding the rides. Ok, that is just me. So back to golf. I've got some practicing to do but I feel confident to go out on the course and play a few holes.

Overall a fun course to play, a nice mix of holes. Unfortunately some of the staff is not the friendliest. While checking in they gave us no information whatsoever, where to get carts or where the 10th hole was - as they started us on the back nine. We asked another staff member for directions and got sent the wrong way (not a lot of signage here). As a result we got to the tee-box 2-3 min late, the people whom we were partnered with were still in the fairway - when we got to the tee-box we were met by an extremely rude and disgruntled starter, being a new golfer this was extremely discouraging and disappointing. A little extra help with directions and some courteousness would go a long way when people are choosing where to spend their money.

I grew up here... Back in the day it was the Grizzly and the Bruin. It's been years since I've played here and I finally made it back! The staff was so kind and attentive. I really had no issues making a tee time, checking in, or buying apparel. Can I just say, I'm a sucker for PUMA!? Always great to see places carry the brand and I make note of those that do. Course conditions are good. Some patches on the fairways aren't the best, but it's an absolutely playable course. Great for all experience levels. If I had any advice to give here, it would be to tell the cart barn starter guy to calm down. He added a level of unnecessary anxiety about the cart numbers and stalked us to our cars to get them. Calm down, sir.

I have lived in the area for a long time, but have never played this course. Because so many courses are currently closed, we decided to play here. I am glad I played it once, but I will never play it again. For one thing, it cost $37.50 to walk! That's expensive compared to the Hamilton County courses, the City of Cincinnati courses and even Blue Ash which is a much nicer course. This is absolutely NOT a walking course. There are huge distances between greens and tees. I walked 8.9 miles today when normally, a round of golf would be between 5 and 6 miles. That's crazy. There are houses and OB everywhere. I don't think I've played a course with that much OB that close to the course. Your accuracy needs to be on or you will have a long day. The course itself is mixed. The West nine is flat, uninspired and frankly somewhat boring except for the 9th hole which is a gem. The North nine was much more interesting and enjoyable. The fairways and greens were in good condition and the speed of the greens was pretty consistent. The rough, however, was ridiculous! It was at US Open-like length and thickness. We had numerous balls end up in the rough and we could not see them unless we stood directly over them and looked straight down. It slows down play looking for balls and it's really hard for amateurs to play successfully from excessively penal rough like that. So, all things considered, I do not think it's worth the money and I won't be back.

Played here 4 weeks in a row for 9 holes after work. Course in decent condition. It has multiple tees. Plenty of fairway and greenside traps. Different variety of layouts. Greens are inconsistent in terms of speed. Nice employees. Gas carts. Big practice green. Driving range. Longer rough.

Matured vegetation, Well maintained and beautiful landscape. Not much of an golfer but I do enjoy what the scenic course has to offer !!

Great Jr. Summer camp. MaryAnn was a great help to our new golfer. Many matches played and enjoyed at Bruin.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! We had a very bad experience there, the head pro Andy was a jerk. Apparently he can check your bags and coolers, he was also making racial slurs to us (4 black men). This type of behavior is unacceptable. Do not go here!!

The golf center itself is gorgeous and has so much to offer. The staff has been wonderful and sweet. The reason I am leaving a poor review is because my wedding reception was booked here for 2020. The venue has a lot to offer, however the private event coordinator Becky was not pleasant to deal with and I will not be rebooking any time soon. Not only was she rude, but she did not communicate any Covid restrictions to me regarding my event. Any time I needed information I was the one to reach out to her, only to get a short response which I took in a rude and annoyed tone. I have felt since I decided to book the venue that I was more of a burden than an appreciated business from her. She works limited hours to tour the venue (you have to see it during the weekday during standard work hours or she will not be there) and she does not work weekends. I had to have the manager, Alan who was very sweet, give me a tour. She is difficult to work with and has in the contract that a high % of reception sales goes into her pocket as the event coordinator, which in my opinion has not been earned. I hate to leave a poor review because of one person to hinder a once in a lifetime (Covid or not) experience for me, with a venue that is so well deserving of a much better review.
