Bear Creek Golf Club

A very enjoyable round with my son. He is a beginning golfer so the late afternoon tee time was ideal. There were few groups out late in the day so we weren’t pressured to play faster. The course was in great condition except a few places where the cart paths had tree roots growing through them. The greens and fairways were in great condition. There are a number of challenging tee shots so I think it is important to choose your appropriate set of tee boxes. Overall an outstanding experience.

This course was in bad condition. Staff was no wear to be found. There was ZERO sand in the bunkers. There was sand everywhere else except where it need to be. The only way I would play this course again is if they paid me to play or it was free.

Great round of golf. Course was in good shape considering the heavy rain we got the night before. Not much to say regarding the clubhouse facility. The bar staff was very friendly and brought food out hot and quick to keep us moving at the turn. Everyone else we came in contact with was pretty cold. The rangers/starter reminded me of the evil grade school teachers of my past. If I wanted to be lectured and scolded on my vacation I would have just called one them up for free. First and last time here unfortunately. Too many other options.

1st time playing course. Played from the whites which took driver out of play on lots of holes. Perfect fairways and greens on every hole. Friendly and helpful staff. Resort course so slow play occurs and no Marshall to move play along.

Fairways to greens were in very good condition. All tees were up in the boxes and in decent shape.

Many narrow dogleg par 4’s (which took out driver off the tee on many holes), but the par 3’s and number 18 made the round enjoyable.

Good course for everyone to play especially with the Hot Deal pricing.

Would play it again!

Three of us were paired with a single local who was a delight to play with. While we are beginners and he was a retired touring pro, he couldn’t have been more gracious. He didn’t rush us and even offered numerous very helpful tips. Anyone one would be lucky to be paired up with Rich. We didn’t get his last name.

Beautiful natural course. Majority of the cart paths are dirt giving this place a great and truly nature filled feeling. Fairways are in good shape as are the greens. Plenty of challenging shots to make. Good value for your money. I look forward to playing it again soon.

Love this course, great layout, pace of play usually around 4 hrs.

Basic open course layout with pretty scenery. Staff was very friendly. No apparent bar or 19 hole hangout area. Only drawbacks are carts are old and was expecting GPS with the price paid. Also confusing as thought this was a Jack Nicklaus course with the name and turns out it is not.

So what was going to be a great day playing golf turned into a complete nightmare when we went to go to the snack bar after nine only to find out that everything was closed and nobody left at the course. The time was 4:30 in the afternoon with 4 hours still left of daylight. What made it worse was there was no drink cart driving around, and only one water cooler on the front nine. It was a very hot and humid day and we didn’t have anything to drink or eat. If the whole staff was going to be gone then we should of been told that before we teed off. Nothing was said therefore we were not prepared to play 18 with no drinks or food!! What a joke, don’t worry Bear Creek staff, we will never come back to your course and I would recommend nobody else play there either!!

My only complaint is that bunkers needed to be raked. Otherwise the course was in great condition, and was a lot of fun to play.

The course itself was fine besides bumpy aerated greens. However, as we and a younger couple ahead of us were waiting to tee off on the first hole, a foursome of senior men, presumably members, were very rude. They arrived early for their tee time and were not pleasant about waiting, with very audible and rude moaning and groaning when a few tee shots both from the couple ahead and our group were errant. They made both of our groups feel hurried and pressured. We are all experienced but higher handicapped golfers. I was on limited vacation time with my 2 adult sons and had chosen a tee time near the end of the day to feel more relaxed. It will make me think twice about coming back here. Perhaps your members should do a better job of being better ambassadors for your course or at least start by not being rude!

This would be a excellent review except they just aerated the greens and we did not get any type of discount, but overall course was in really nice condition and pace of play was nice…2 of us played in less then 4 hours and the bar staff (Amy) she was amazing…looking forward to coming back and playing this course again
