“This Jack Nicklaus designed course is a true gem. Fantastic layout in perfect condition. Not a boring hole in the 18. Super friendly staff … "

The golf outing – that once-a-year opportunity to thank your staff, treat your clients or raise money for your charity. There’s too much at stake to leave anything to chance. That’s why golf outing coordinators through the region entrust us here at Great Bear Golf Club to handle their outings.
As hospitality experts with a ton of successful outings under our belts, rest assured that your outing here at Great Bear will come off without a hitch. Here are some of the specific reasons why:
You don’t have to be a PGA pro to know the name Jack Nicklaus. It’s synonymous with golf excellence. Great Bear was designed by “The Golden Bear” himself. This is your one-in-three chance to play a Nicklaus course in the entire state; the only one in the area.
The reality of golf outings is this: everyone participating in your outing isn’t going to be a great golfer. Great Bear offers a great challenge for the better golfers and while the duffers won’t set any course records, they’ll sure have fun in a gorgeous setting.
Our beautiful, 17,000 square-foot clubhouse here at Great Bear is home to amazing dining establishments, and will act as the hub of all of your outing activity.
Speaking of two amazing dining establishments, our professionally-trained food and beverage personnel can prepare whatever you need – from box lunches to casual dinners to sit-down banquets.
While Great Bear is secluded and providing tranquil golf, we’re also conveniently located. If those two things don’t seem like they go together, you haven’t seen Great Bear!
We can make your duffers look like touring pros, and your best golfers will find any- and everything they need in our full and complete golf shop.
Non-member golf outings are welcome at Great Bear.
We’re happy to host your outing for as few as 16 players, up to a full-boat 144 players.
We’ve partnered with the nearby Historic Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort to give your traveling players a good night’s rest.
This might be the most attractive reason for golf outing coordinators to come to Great Bear. It’s as simple as one call or click to me and we swing into action!
Thank you for considering Great Bear for your outing.
Your outing is sure to be a success at Great Bear, the area's only Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.
