Bear Creek Golf Club

Wife and I played Bear Creek for our first time. For years we have played the usual courses at HHI when we are there. Since it was our first time we didn’t know what to expect. The first thing we committed on was a lack of signage as you pull in as the parking and club house are some what hidden. The cart building is what you see and a club drop. So we parked the car and walked up to the cart house. The gentleman working there wasn’t exactly friendly but we figured out where to go. The staff at the club house made up in friendly from the cart person. The club house is well worn and in need of some work. We hit some balls prior to playing and the range was nice. Once we started the course was nice. We had a lot of rain over the week so there were two holes cart path only and you had to be careful on some holes. The greens were in great shape. We would play here again. The course was a great value.

Booked a mid afternoon round and they were very particular about not letting us go off before our time.(watering, I think). We had the course to ourselves and it was wonderful. Nice greens. Nice layout. Looks narrow, but actually played very fairly. Saw a few gators. I would definitely recommend.

Good value for area as a nice lunch is included. Though an unremarkable layout, the tee boxes fairways and greens are all in good shape and well maintained. We will be back.

Great prices for a pretty nice course. It would be nice if cart paths were paved and there were a few bad grass areas on a few greens we played.

Even though it’s about an hour from home (Savannah) it was worth the drive. The greens had been punches recently but the ball rolled okay. Traps were in good shape. Complimentary range balls too.

Great course for the value. Typical tree lined HHI course and the greens rolled perfectly fine! Bunkers could use some work but other then that I have no complaints!

Hidden gem. Greens were true. Bunkers very playable. Good value!!

This course was a great value. Course was in great condition. Pace of play was great. A group teed off in front of us and never saw anyone in front or behind us the rest of the round. Only critique is that a lot of the holes looked the same throughout the round and club house didn’t have our tee time listed but they let us tee off when we arrived so we did not have a chance to hit the range beforehand.

Emily was great and super accommodating while Will got us ready to play quickly. Very satisfied playing there!

Other than the cart guy being very rude and letting a foursome jump in between 2 twosome the course was not that bad

Played Bear Creek on June 21, 2020, first time I had played it. I've been vacationing in Hilton Head since 2004 but just saw this course on golfnow.com this year, thought I'd give it a try. Played from the tips. I cannot tell you how phenomenal this course is. We will be coming back to Hilton Head next year, and Bear Creek is definitely on our list of courses to play. If you are planning to play golf while you're in Hilton Head, it would be a huge mistake if you don't play Bear Creek. After our round, I asked the pro shop why I hadn't heard about this great course, he said they had been private until just a few years ago. I can't give this course enough stars. And one more thing--grab lunch or dinner while you're there, was absolutely delicious. All around fantastic day, shot a 73.

Took us 45 extra minutes to find the course. GPS was no help. After we got there we started and never had anyone holding us up. Had a alligator on 1st hole that was interesting. Had to take relief from him being only feet away from my ball. All in all nice course and very challenging.

Course was in great shape compared to others in the area considering aerification season. Greens were rolling smooth and true. Definitely worth the price for the local rate of $37. MId-afternoon tee time played as a twosome just around 3 hours. KId at the bag drop was very un-attentive and didn't even get out of the cart he was chillin in. Walked away from a $20 cash tip we were trying to give him. All else was great!

I’ve played this course a few times. It is challenging. However, it makes you play your best to score a great score. I will be returning.
