Great public golf course. Very well taken care of and a challenging 18 holes with lots of up and down fairways and greens.

Located in the north-east corner of Louisiana, Black Bear, rated 4-1/2 stars, is arguably the surprise package of the Audubon Golf Trail - a little bit off the beaten path, unless you are on the Dallas-Vicksburg-Jackson road, this is a golf course that's well worth making a detour to play - laid out in a natural environment of open countryside and woodland, with no houses or roads nearby to disturb your concentration.

First time out on this course after finding it in a Google search for golf along I-20. At first I was concerned it wouldn't be worth the extra miles off my route. I am so glad I made the trip. Everything in the clubhouse was superb from the pro to the cost of a couple of beers. This course will test all parts of your game, but confidence in your tee shot is paramount. I had the place pretty much to myself on a hot Friday afternoon so I took the time to drive up to the point where the tee shot wasn't blind to get some idea of alignment. That was key to a good round. Interesting routing and fair greens were also a big part of my positive experience. Par 3s require accuracy w a long iron if you play one of the back tees. Yes, the fairway bunkers need work, but that should only dissuade you from coming if you are the most precious of golfers. Go play this course!!! It's worth the trip.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast in the area, and the owners recommended this place. I had the chicken and it was very delicious, and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. My wife had the steak salad which I finished for her and it was amazing as well. The service was fantastic and the manager came to our table to see how everything was. We had a great evening, and it is also very kid friendly, and they have a kid's menu as well. Our kids had the steak cubes and sweet potato fries. Both were delicious!

Great layout. Twilight rate is great price for a good course. Mostly large fairways but still challenging if a fairway is missed. Overall an 8 out of 10.

Ate brunch at the Bistro for the first time since they started having it on the first Saturday of every month from 9 am to 1 pm. The food was so delicious, I was very impressed, their presentation and service was excellent! I recommend this great restaurant to anyone, it's one of our most favorite places to go for dinner also.

Awesome Course

Black Bear Golf Club is a "hidden gem" worth visiting for any golfer who happens to be in the area near Poverty Point. For some it will be the reason to plan a trip to the area. Black Bear offers a terrific, undulating layout that's a combination of links- and parkland-style courses set against a bayou backdrop. Yes there are Black Bears that make the occasional appearance. They won't likely present a safety concern for those who use common sense (no feeding or petting--they aren't pets). The staff has every reason to feel pride in what they have developed and maintained to high standards.

Wonderful golf course; challenging, greens were in excellent shape, scenic views, and tons of wildlife. Very friendly staff.

JAMES JONES

I give the food at the bistro 5 stars!!! Great job! Now for the course, the greens were great. Most fairways were decent although some did have massive holes in them from poor drainage and had to be roped off, I think I saw a couple sink holes out there also, not safe! The “sand traps” if you can call them that! Good god what can someone say about those traps! Looks like someone broke into the course and took every gain of sand out of them and then they filled them up with sewage from the local community and then let that dry! Yep that’s the best description for the sand traps at this place! Anyone ever seen the King Kong movie? Sand traps kinda look like King Kong was just jumping from fairway to fairway making impressions with his feet! Maybe this if where the movie was filmed, maybe it’s a true story! After seeing these sand traps it’s possible! Fix your traps, and sink holes!!!! Water the fairways as much as you water the greens and you will have an amazing course

The steaks are great here!!

Great place to have a hot fresh meal while staying at poverty Point Reservoir. The lunch menu is limited but they do serve a daily special. I enjoyed fried chicken mashed potatoes and green beans. The fried chicken was hot, crispy & delicious.

Just returned from a golf trip there this past weekend. We played a scramble format Keep in mind this is a state funded facility. Here are the Cons of the place (in my opinion): The fairway bunkers were is dismal shape, basically unplayable. The greens had been punched and sanded and were not a good putting surface at all. A Bridge was out An elevator was broken A stair leading from an outside porch was broken Just appeared a little run-down Here are the Pros of the place (in my opinion): The course is a really good layout. Reasonably priced Decent practice areas Fast Carts, with Ice Chests Fairways were nice Greenside bunkers were nice but not raked The Golf pro did call about 2 days before our trip (consisting of about 35 men) to inform us of the fact that the greens were being punched and sanded. We thought that was a classy, honest move. The beer was ICE COLD Very good staff and friendly people. Food was great. The restaurant actually was packed on Friday and Saturday Evening. The service for food and drinks were TOP NOTCH! Great attentive young staff, with “Yes Sir” and “Thank You”. For that alone, I would play there again.

Joshua Bullock

really nice course and great staff. it's very well maintained and even tho it's pretty far out of Monroe it's worth the drive. play it in July and August and it plays very dry and fast, any other time it plays much softer.
