-First of all, before I go into reviewing this course, I just want to note that Dan is the most friendly and hospitable owner. I've played 4-6 courses in my lifetime on properties like this; let's be honest, some of these owners can be a little quirky and/or downright weird. Not Dan though, pretty chill guy who just wants to provide a surreal disc golf experience.
- A lot of unique holes; the course starts with an elevated tee throwing down over a forest to the basket.
- Several basket options for each hole, making this course great for anybody who is Intermediate skill level or above.
- The course takes you past the parking lot on a few occasions, so you don't have to worry about carrying everything with you during play.
- Excellent pro shop.
- A lot of variety in types of challenges you face: baskets placed on rocky ridges, elevated throws through a forest, narrow corridor tees, wide open shots, uphill drives, it really has it all (except for water).
- Hole #1 and #10 were particularly cool, giving this course the bump from 4.5 star course, to 5 stars, in my opinion.

- A couple of holes are adjacent to one of Dan's neighbors houses. They do NOT appreciate use of any flowery language, so watch your tongue when your drive blasts into a tree. Someone in our group made this mistake, and got an earful from the neighbor. Dan does have those holes marked as "Quiet Zone", and he was able to calm his neighbor down quite a bit.
- Two or three holes play over the fairway of another hole. IMO that's understandable as Dan can only work with his property boundary. On those holes, he at least had the sense to make the tees elevated to make it easy to clear the other holes fairway.

- Didn't know whether to make this a pro or con, but one of the holes on the back 9 had a couple of horses walking around the edge of the fairway.
- Absolutely worth the price of admission.
- Can mostly play this course with a forehand drive, if that's your forte.
- I'm not exactly certain if this is my favorite course of all time, but it's definitely on my Mount Rushmore.

Each course along the 285 corridor has its own unique personality, but Bear is perhaps the purest "park golf" style course of them all.

Mature ponderosa lined fairways, rolling meadows full of wild flowers in spring, stands of gold glowing aspens in the fall and incredible views of Lost Creek Wilderness south and Rosalie's imposing peak to the west. The property is the perfect rhythm section and Dan has played a masterful lead.

There are tight gaps to hit, creative use of altitude change, huge downhill bombs, but above all that feeling at Bear that you are among friends. The basket placements change often so even if you're a season pass holder and visit often, you're always getting a new experience. We've played 30+ unique holes in a round by throwing multiple baskets or tees. You're bound to find new lines each time you play and having camping on the property available takes it another step above the rest.

What else can be said? I love Bear Mountain! The baskets are great, they catch awesome and the gold chains are unique. Yellow number plates always easy to see. The red wire in the cage points you to the next tee box. Signs are everywhere, small touches like stumps to sit on and great benches... The tees are natural, but very well maintained.

Keep em flying high!

Variety of different shots in the mountains tight technically challenging holes big bombers the owners are awesome I can roll my cart this place gets more sunshine than most courses. Fun course!!!

To far from my house but that is a personal con

Outstanding course. Super well maintained with constant improvements being made like new tee positions, new basket locations, and new holes added. Pro shop on site. Great mix of open and wooded holes, elevation well used. 20 + holes playing around the very welcoming property owner's home. You will pass by your car multiple times to making it easy to restock drinks so you don't need to carry 8 lbs of water.

While being easy to find the course is a bit out of the way but to most that is a pro, not a con.

Appropriate for players of all skill levels.

1) Wonderful vision on holes, lots of lines you must throw.
2) Nice and wonderful Owner
3) Setting is amazing and you are all by yourself
4) Natural Tee boxes were the best I have ever played

Must have the map for the extra holes, but the owner will talk you through them

This course is just now getting play to the public, but do the right thing and follow the directions and make sure you call for a tee time. I will definitely come back.
