The Grizzly Golf & Social Lodge - Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Grizzly Course is a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Since opening in 1972, this challenging layout has been host to numerous PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA events. The golf course features long, curvy fairways lined with towering trees and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. The three final holes feature water hazards, which are also accompanied by a difficult array of bunkers. It offers a fair amount of difficult holes but overall the course is playable for a range of skill levels, which is why it is an appealing layout for tournaments. In addition to the two courses, the Golf Center also boasts an 11,000-square foot putting green and an Academy Course with four championship holes.
Also known as The City of Mason Golf Center - Grizzly Course.

Major irrigation work two holes closed
No mention that course is going through major irrigation work this year. You have to play two holes on academy course. Pace of play was unacceptable over 5 hour round. No rangers on course to move people along. This use to be one of the places to play in the area, going to lower half of the list now after yesterday.

Rude staff
Was kicked off for pace of play when we were told we started early to take our time and have fun by van, who was the only friendly person there. The assistant manager confronted us twice, the second time after we skipped a hole to ‘speed up’. Course was not takin care of at all and tee boxes were in rough shape! Then their card machine was slow and slowing up my pace to food! Do not recommend!
Monday round 2022
Monday....10am..No waiting at 1st tee box....mason senior residents get discount on round and new balls. I accidentally left my $30 water bottle at cart pickup..was pleasantly surprised to see water bottle at same spot after 9 holes. All staff was polite and courteous. Very easy booking thru this app...no reservation fee cheers..ziggy

Good course but needs many updates.
When were the rest rooms out on the course last updated or even thoroughly cleaned for cobwebs and bugs let alone painted?
Many of the areas just off the cart paths are rough and bare of any semblance of grass. These things are so obvious I am surprised that the course manager hasn’t already addressed these issues.
Nice Course- Great value
This the best round this year. Good pace. Greens were fast and smooth.

Overcharged by golf course
I reserved a foursome on the Golfnow website for $39.00 per golfer. Payment was due at the course.
When we arrived and paid, we were informed the cost was $43.00 plus change per golfer. I asked why the difference and was told, "That is what the computer tells me".
The Golfnow email stated that tax was included in the online price of $39.00. What was the course collecting additional money for?
Maybe it was a fuel surcharge for the electric carts!
Enjoyed the golf because who I was playing with but we all agreed what the course did was wrong but not totally unexpected from them.
