Bear Creek Golf Club - West Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Conveniently located adjacent to the DFW Airport, Bear Creek Golf Club serves up two Ted Robinson-designed, 18-hole masterpieces that are known for their stunning topography and outstanding greens. And with both golf courses playing around 6,700 yards from the tips, golfers can hit long irons and fairway woods off the tee to keep it in the fairway, which is mandatory for a good round on these tight courses. Bear Creek's West Course is demanding early, and is significantly more difficult on the front side. However, the back side opens up and allows some room for error, making this the track of choice for the high handicapper. Nos. 6 and 7 stand out on the demanding front. No. 6 requires a blind tee shot and an approach over water, and no. 7 might be the most difficult on the golf course: a 380-yard par 4 that plays into the wind and also involves water. The back side has the signature hole, the scenic 180-yard 17th, which plays along a lake.

Great day!
Played NC West and course was in excellent condition. One hole had a temporary tee box but that should be resolved soon.
Beverage service came around a few times to help quench our thirst.
Pace a little slow on a few holes but we think it’s because they wanted to pull pin out every hole. SMH
Friendly staff.
Definitely return.
Will Play Again
Everything was good except tee boxes need some work on East course. Would play again and recommend
Good course, practice green is much different from the actual greens
The course was nice. Got piled up really bad because of some blind tee shot holes. Other than that it was good took about 5-1/2 hours to play this course which is bad but the course was in decent condition and the staff was amazing, also the putting green was very VERY slow compared to the actual greens so it was a surprise when we got to the first hole but other than that it was nice
Wouldn’t complain if the pace was better.
Only thing bad about the course is the sand could be softer. The real complaint is that it should not take more than 5 hours to finish. Had to wait 10-15 minutes to tee off on a few holes but that is not the clubs fault. Players need to drop and hit if they can’t find their ball after a couple minutes of looking. Quit wasting everyone’s time behind you.
The greens were not consistent and were bumpy due to brown spots/cuts on greens
West course in really good shape
The course was in really good shape. Specially the fairways and greens. Bunkers were a bit washed out, but that was understandable because of a pretty big storm hitting just the day before. Tee boxes were a bit worn out. All in all, the course played fine and pace of play was decent, considering the amount of play this course gets.
Top 5 Course in DFW
I absolutely loved playing Bear Creek West. The conditions have been spectacular during the fall winter and now spring. The staff is always friendly and the value is above other courses at a higher rate.
Great course for a visitor
Flew into town for 2 days with time to play before flying out, the course is directly under the airport flight path. The East course was in good shape not great, sand on the greens but they rolled true. The staff was great and I didn't bring my clubs because it was a quick trip and they had nice complementary (rental) clubs with a QI35 driver and QI irons. They added a fourth to our group and the course was full but we still finished in under 4 hrs. I would recommend Bear Creek!
Nice public course in good shape for late winter. Well staffed & friendly. Our 4 some played right at 4 hours. This track used to take +5 hours almost always; they’ve done a nice job in speeding up play.
Not up to par
This course normally is one of the best per price value for a public course baring the plane traffic noise which can be overlooked since it's location. But on this day the greens where more bumpy than oatmeal. The beverage cart was seen twice and the second time was at hole 17 ! The experience got worst when our 4 some caught the foursome ahead of us on hole 12 which seemed to play each remaining holes at a pace of 25 mins per. Just not what I expected for this venue from prior visits. East course was played.
