COURSE INFO

The Course at Black Bear Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course in Parker, Colorado, originally opened as Canterberry Golf Course in 1996 and designed by Jeff Brauer. Located near historic downtown Parker, the course is known for dramatic elevation changes and wide-ranging views from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak. 

1st Hole

Par 4 · 412

Pro’s Tip:
The opening hole is a par 4 where the ideal tee shot will hug the right side of the fairway. An approach shot to the right side of the green is also the best play as deep bunkers await any balls that miss left.

Tee 1: 412

Tee 2: 394

Tee 3: 376

Tee 4: 263

Tee 5: 226

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 455

Pro’s Tip:
Number two is the most difficult hole on the golf course. Fairway bunkers on both sides of this narrow hole put a premium on accuracy. The approach plays uphill and often requires an extra club to hit this two-tiered, undulated green.

Tee 1: 455

Tee 2: 431

Tee 3: 411

Tee 4: 339

Tee 5: 262

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 190

Pro’s Tip:
On this downhill par 3, players can take dead aim, but missing long is better than short. Large mounds and bunkers frame this beautiful hole.

Tee 1: 190

Tee 2: 166

Tee 3: 144

Tee 4: 166

Tee 5: 104

Tee 6: 101

4th Hole

Par 5 · 564

Pro’s Tip:
The first par 5 on the course features deep fairway bunkers that line the right side. The lay-up shot ought to be played to the left to set up the best angle into this large green.

Tee 1: 564

Tee 2: 525

Tee 3: 487

Tee 4: 462

Tee 5: 292

5th Hole

Par 4 · 464

Pro’s Tip:
The fifth hole, again, requires accuracy off the tee on this uphill par 4. A fairway bunker and mounds guard both sides of this funnel-like fairway. Players will want to add at least one club on the approach into this well-guarded, elevated green.

Tee 1: 464

Tee 2: 430

Tee 3: 399

Tee 4: 322

Tee 5: 256

6th Hole

Par 4 · 433

Pro’s Tip:
The sixth is a par 4 where everything falls to the right off the tee, so players will want to keep their shots down the left. Large mounds surround the back of the green where a left-to-right ball flight is the best attack.

Tee 1: 433

Tee 2: 412

Tee 3: 388

Tee 4: 357

Tee 5: 265

7th Hole

Par 4 · 402

Pro’s Tip:
The best tee shot on the seventh is down the right side as the fairway slopes right-to-left, which will avoid the arroyo. A downhill lie will await players on their second shot. Players will want to land the ball on the left side of the green as the putting surface slopes from left-to-right.

Tee 1: 402

Tee 2: 379

Tee 3: 356

Tee 4: 320

Tee 5: 268

8th Hole

Par 3 · 227

Pro’s Tip:
The eighth is an intimidating par 3 that’s all carry. Players will want to take an extra club off the tee, as long is better than short. A left-to-right tee shot to the center of the green is the best play.

Tee 1: 227

Tee 2: 205

Tee 3: 176

Tee 4: 78

Tee 5: 78

9th Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:
The front nine closes with a dramatically downhill par 4. Approach shots should land on the front of this two-tiered green that’s frames by a deep bunker.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 406

Tee 3: 379

Tee 4: 323

Tee 5: 237

10th Hole

Par 5 · 532

Pro’s Tip:
The first shot on the back nine requires a ball down the left side of this severely sloping fairway. A good bounce may allow players to go for the green in two. Otherwise, it’s smart to lay up to this shallow, elevated green.

Tee 1: 532

Tee 2: 517

Tee 3: 494

Tee 4: 428

Tee 5: 304

11th Hole

Par 4 · 329

Pro’s Tip:
The eleventh hole is an uphill par 4 that requires an accurate tee shot. Bunkers guard both sides of this narrow fairway. Players may want to take an extra club on the approach shot to this uphill green.

Tee 1: 329

Tee 2: 304

Tee 3: 267

Tee 4: 253

Tee 5: 148

12th Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:
The twelfth features a split fairway and requires an accurate tee shot. Favoring the right is the safe play, but longer hitters can try the left. On the approach, most players will want to take an extra club to hit this elevated, two-tiered green.

Tee 1: 410

Tee 2: 384

Tee 3: 351

Tee 4: 220

Tee 5: 187

13th Hole

Par 5 · 576

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot that hugs the left side is ideal on this dogleg par 5, as a deep arroyo guards the entire right side of the hole. A lay-up down the left will also set up the best approach angle into this well-guarded green.

Tee 1: 576

Tee 2: 551

Tee 3: 522

Tee 4: 481

Tee 5: 369

14th Hole

Par 3 · 163

Pro’s Tip:
The fourteenth is a par 3 with beautiful views of Pikes Peak that requires plenty of club. A pond, bunkers, and a large mound guard the green, where the left side is the safest play.

Tee 1: 163

Tee 2: 158

Tee 3: 149

Tee 4: 86

Tee 5: 86

15th Hole

Par 5 · 523

Pro’s Tip:
Fifteen is the final par 5 on the golf course. A tee shot down the left is the best play to keep it in the narrow fairway. Well-struck drives will set up a chance at going for the large green in two, but laying-up short-left is another option.

Tee 1: 523

Tee 2: 489

Tee 3: 461

Tee 4: 411

Tee 5: 324

16th Hole

Par 3 · 205

Pro’s Tip:
The final par 3 features beautiful views and a deep arroyo. Players ought to aim their tee shot at the left side of the green and take plenty of club because long is better than short.

Tee 1: 205

Tee 2: 186

Tee 3: 165

Tee 4: 93

Tee 5: 93

17th Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot down the right is the best play off this severe dogleg left par 4. A deep grass bunker awaits shots that try to cut the corner. An accurate iron shot is required to hit this back-to-front sloping green.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 407

Tee 3: 389

Tee 4: 366

Tee 5: 274

18th Hole

Par 4 · 418

Pro’s Tip:
The closing hole is a par 4 that begins on an elevated tee box. A drive down the right side of the fairway that slopes right-to-left is the best play, as it will funnel balls to the center. A deep bunker guards the left-front of the green and a right-to-left approach shot is the best play into this undulated putting surface.

Tee 1: 418

Tee 2: 396

Tee 3: 374

Tee 4: 343

Tee 5: 220
