Only Black Bear was open. Needed UDisc for a map. No way to find your way to play otherwise. Lost some discs. Would have been nice if the course was back to the regular setups instead of championship layout. SUPER long holes. Fun but frustrating. Would not play Black Bear again.

Amazing, fair but challenging course. This is a must play when at the Preserve if available. Played the 3 courses available when visiting and all 3 did not disappoint. We'll maintained and beautiful course. Not for the faint of heart, come ready to huck!
