Historically, nearly every green was square, because it was easier to maintain. On this right-to-left dogleg par 4 drive it far enough right to have a clear view of the green. It is advisable to carry your approach shot to the middle portion of the putting surface, due to the steep slope and false front to this green. No. 9 Bear Slide Golf Club The 9th hole on Indiana’s Signature 18 can be found at the Bear Slide Golf Club in Cicero. It was ranked the 14th Best Golf Course in the United States by Golf Advisor in 2018 and it is one of Indiana’s premier public golf courses. The course offers a Scottish links-style front nine with a more traditional back nine. Golf Digest has given Bear Slide a “4.5 Star” rating and included the course among the nine best golf courses in Indiana. The 9th hole at Bear Slide is a dogleg right par four with a menacing water hazard that must be avoided. Stick to the left side of the fairway on your drive and leave a mid-iron approach into a generally flat green. With two solid shots, you might be able to make one more birdie before the back nine. In fact, pars on the 7th, 8th, and 9th holes would be a great score.
