The last golf course played on the recent HOG World Tour visit to Michigan was The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort in Grand Traverse, Michigan. It was figuratively and literally, a bear.

The Bear is a Jack Nicklaus design.  This par-72 layout features six sets of tees which range from 5,281 yards to 7,078 yards. I said it is a bear and the slope and rating would confirm that.  Slope is 150 and the rating 76.1 from the tips.

The primary reason this course kicked my butt is because of the forced carries, and the fact that I was struggling badly to hit decent iron shots.  You can see in the photos here a shot that doesn’t carry is going to meet a watery grave.

I’ll be posting a full review of The Bear soon, but I need to lick my wounds first.  Next time I’ll wear Bear spray. Stay tuned.
