The Golden Bear Club and its 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Course have become the centerpiece of the prestigious community of Keene's Pointe, Orlando, since its opening in June 1999. This phenomenal private country club is bordered by the Butler Chain of Lakes and features majestic oaks, towering cypress trees, and all types of natural flora.
Surrounded by sparkling lakes and majestic oaks this par 72 masterpiece, designed by golf architect Bruce Borland, appeals to golfers of every level and reflects the extraordinary beauty, challenging design, and environmental sensitivity that Nicklaus Signature Courses have come to represent around the world. The 7,173-yard layout, always in impeccable playing condition, will tests players' mettle, challenging their skills and rewarding their shot-making.
Course maintenance at this exclusive Windermere club is excellent and the greens are generally kept fast. Most of the holes are fairly isolated from each other lending a greater sense of space from fellow players. The practice amenities for golfers include a driving range, a chipping area, a putting green, and an indoor practice area.
Along with the Pro shop, a world-class tennis facility with four lighted hard courts, a fitness center, and a resort-style swimming pool the club also features a massive, luxurious clubhouse facility offering panoramic views of both the ninth and eighteenth holes. The Pointe 18 Bar and Grille is an inviting setting to relax after a round and the club can cater for events both large and small, with a range of indoor and outdoor function spaces.
