REVIEW:
The
GolfTest USA staff had a few days prior to attending the
PGA Show in January to play several of the top courses in
the Orlando area. We didn’t want to miss out on playing
one of Jack Nicklaus’s newest designs, The Golden
Bear Club at Keene’s Pointe. It is a 1st class facility
as one might expect with Jack being involved. The staff
was very cordial and accommodating and made sure that all
our needs were taken care of. If you like water than this
is a course for you. Over half the holes bring water into
play, though the course plays very fair and has wide forgiving
fairways. Huge beautiful homes line the course but they
are set well back from each hole and you always have the
feeling of openness during play. The course was in great
condition and we really enjoyed the opportunity we had to
review The Golden Bear Club. We suspect this is a course
you would not tire of playing on a regular basis. We should
be so lucky. We know there are a lot of top rated courses
in the Orlando area and we have to say that The Golden Bear
Club at Keene’s Pointe belongs in that group.
RATING:
GolfTest USA recommends at The Golden Bear Club at Keene’s
