About
Bear Creek Golf Club is one of the courses that makes Hilton Head Island one of the country's most popular golf destinations. Rees Jones designed the course, routing the layout through majestic pines and sparkling blue lagoons. Jones kept much of the existing landscape intact, earning the golf course Audubon certification. There are five sets of tees total, with the longest stretching over 6,800 yards. It's a course that players of all skill levels can enjoy regardless of handicap. The tight, bunkered fairways are an infamous feature of the course but Bear Creek is also known for having some of the best greens on Hilton Head Island. The finishing hole is the course's signature. You'll have to navigate your way past a narrow chute of pines to reach the green, which is fronted by a large lagoon.

18th hole Photo submitted by Sammy369 on 02/09/2015
Great course to play . Been there a couple of times and course was in good shape and challenging but kind to intermediate players.
decent course for February. Pace of play was slow 4:30 for 18.
Fun course
I played with my neighbor and had a great time. Fun course, a good variety of layouts for the holes.
Nice course beautiful day
Course was in great shape, well layed out. Plenty of water in the right places
Very Nice
Course was in very nice shape. Greens were very good, fairways average. Apparently the bunkers were being replaced, the ones that were done are great, the ones not done yet are cement. All in all a very good day.
Fun course for avg handicapper
For the avg Sr golfer, the course plays well, and fairly easy to handle. You need to focus on course layout and aim and hit accurately-- at least as best as you can!
Decent day
Fairway grass was greener today than two weeks ago which was nice. Yellow grass a bit sparse in some of the rough. Attendants were nice but limited on services they helped us with. Clubhouse attendant was busy when went to check in and had to wait a few minutes. Pace of play for Saturday afternoon was good, little waiting and little pressure. For the price a very good value.
Big Mike was Great!!
Course and greens were great! some issues with no grass in areas with a lot of tree cover. My wife and I really enjoyed golf there. After golf the food was very good. the starter Big Mike was super!!
Bear Creek review
Awesome experience. Starter was great. Got out early. Pace of play was really good. Course was great for this time of year. I would recommend Bear Creek to anyone!
The entire staff at Bear Creek were courteous and respectful. From the pro shop to the starter to the restaurant, everyone was informative and polite.
