Notes:  Created as a recreational centerpiece for the community, the Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course is a championship level 18-hole public play course providing residents and visiting golfers with upscale services and amenities.  The course capitalizes on the rolling terrain and natural plateaus, providing golfers with panoramic views and a spectacular golf experience. In addition to the lush fairways and bent grass greens, it is not unusual to spot a deer and other wildlife on any of the holes.  Open from April to the end of October, the immaculately maintained, 350-acre course with an elevation gain of 700 feet, compares with many of the finest resort courses in the country.
