Black Bear Golf Club - MBGA RATING - Formerly Myrtle West Golf Club, this lackluster course snakes through a Low Country forest with its mixture of hardwoods and southern pines. Black Bear features 23 crystal clear finger-lakes, which give this course its unmistakable distinction. With four sets of tees, this course accommodates golfers of all skill levels. Golfers should be aware that virtually all of the courses along the low-lying Highway 9 corridor have problems with “soggy” conditions and “cart paths only” are almost the norm. This course completed redoing their greens and bunkers in 2006. They addressed their drainage problems in the wettest areas, as well as replacing a bridge, and improving the landscaping and overall appearance. Currently, however, with their brown teeboxes, fairways and most greens we think “Brown Bear” is a more fitting moniker.
