As a designer, Jack Nicklaus is well known for his penchant of designing courses that leave the average duffer perplexed by the difficulty. With the Golden Bear Golf Club at Indigo Run, Nicklaus has put together a tough course, but one that stands proudly among its Hilton Head brethren.
Aside from the Nicklaus name, Golden Bear has a strong management service to help give golfers the full Hilton Head golf experience.
"The facility is owned by Club Corporation of America, a leader in providing truly professional, quality public-access courses, said a TravelGolf.com writer.
Golden Bear plays fairly flat at just over 7,000 yards from the tips, giving golfers plenty of opportunities to let their drivers rip, but with plenty of ponds and marshes, lost balls should be expected.
