Black Bear Golf Club

Eustis, FL, United States

Black Bear Golf Club is a P.B. Dye-designed course located in Eustis, Florida, approximately 30 miles north of Orlando. The course is characterized by hilly terrain for Florida, with sloping fairways and elevated, undulating greens that present a significant challenge to players. The greens feature a deep left-to-right layout and are notably firm, requiring precise, elevated shots to hold the surface. The course demands accuracy off the tee, as shots straying from the center of fairways face difficulty from the slope and grade changes. Black Bear operates as a public facility with a well-maintained championship-caliber layout. The course is consistently praised for its excellent conditioning and has hosted professional tournaments, including the GolfWeek National Pro Tour's Florida Ranking School. The facility features a strong practice component, including a TopTracer Range and comprehensive practice area. The course also offers golf lessons through PGA professionals and maintains active tournament and league programs. Notable for being both challenging and accessible, Black Bear has developed a reputation as a local favorite and hidden gem in the Central Florida golf market.
