Mike Nicklaus Owner & Broker

There is no more cherished name in the sport of golf than Jack Nicklaus, and there is no brand recognized and respected more in the business of golf than Golden Bear.

The genesis of the Golden Bear can be traced to late 1961 when an Australian writer was asked what he thought of a sturdily built, powerful American star-in-the-making by the name of Jack Nicklaus. His response: "He looks like a big, cuddly golden bear." Soon after, one of the most revered brands and icons was born, and it remains today a symbol of greatness that transcends the golf world and has earned its rightful place in the business world.

Just like the man for whom the icon is attached, the Golden Bear is associated with excellence, integrity and stands for the highest measure of quality. Whether the brand is attached to apparel, golf clubs or golf course designs, the consumer knows that the Golden Bear represents the best.

It is only right that a family man who has created a legacy in tournament golf and a legacy in golf course design with well over 200 creations around the world, lend his brand to an independent real estate firm founded and led by his children.
