Big Bear Lake sits at nearly 7,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, about 100 miles east of Los Angeles, and the altitude here does real things to a golf ball — expect noticeably more carry than you're used to at sea level. Bear Mountain Golf Course plays through the pines and cedars that define this mountain resort community, a year-round destination best known for skiing in winter and lake recreation in summer, with golf occupying the warmer months in between.
At par 70, the layout leans shorter and more strategic than a power-player's track, which suits mountain terrain well — elevation changes, doglegs carved through trees, and the visual distraction of the surrounding peaks tend to reward course management over brute force. The thin air gives you distance; the setting takes some of it back in the form of uneven lies and holes that play differently depending on the angle of the slope.
For visitors staying in the Big Bear area, this is the mountain golf experience the region offers — unhurried, scenic, and a genuine change of pace from the desert resort courses an hour or two south in Palm Springs.
