The Grizzly Golf and Social Lodge (The Grizzly)

The Grizzly opened in Mason, Ohio on July 1, 1972 as the third course designed by the legendary partnership of Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Sometimes fierce, sometimes friendly, the Grizzly name was bestowed on the course, forever linking it to the incredible legacy of the Golden Bear. This year, we’re recognizing the 50th anniversary of our legendary course with a new identity that honors our rich history and promising future. In the Nicklaus tradition, the Grizzly fully utilizes the expanse of land with a variety of brilliantly designed holes, taking players on a scenic tour of the area. Muirhead’s influence is evidenced through long, multi-curved fairways, large trees retained as natural hazards, water hazards on the final holes, and plenty of bunkers.
