What is considered a good score at Little Bear?

With a course rating of 70 and par 30, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 30 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

What type of course is Little Bear and how should I play it?

Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.

The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
