Bear Creek Golf Club - West Course

I played the East course for the second time. I really like this track. Not unreasonably difficult, but also challenging and tricky at times

Make the east and west course a part of your normal rotation, you will not be disappointed.

Was able to grab the earliest tee time at sunrise and it was glorious. Course was in decent shape and fairly challenging. Watch out for the trees!

Foremost, Bear Creek is ALWAYS a good play. Pace needs to increase a bit, but not a deal breaker. What impacting rating this time was the grass clippings. To be clear, Mother Nature (rain) is creating a challenge. That said, both the rough was too high (balls just off the fairway tough to find), made worse by piles of clipping from prior mowings. Unlike the Texas heat, this will subside as the get caught up.

It was perfectly well managed. I don't think there will be such a well-managed golf course in the Dallas area.

Greens are all sand, not a lot of grass anywhere, high grass just off the fairway, not super well maintained.. Not one to post a negative review but for $65 on a Monday morning not worth the money at all at this point. Hope they bring the greens back.

No course should ever be a 5 hour round at 8am on a Saturday. 4.5 hours is pushing it but that’s what I expected. We teed off at 8:05am and finished up at 1:15pm. We kept up with the group in front of us and they kept up with the group in front of them. My group felt the problem was the rough. It is US Open weekend and last time I checked it was at Pinehurst, not Bear Creek Golf Club. The rough was 4-5 inches deep so any shot off the fairway and you absolutely couldn’t find your ball. What is the point of that for a public golf course? It was a pretty frustrating day to say the least.

Play pace slows down a lot on the “blind” hole. People forget to turn light on/off.

Other than the heat playing that course was fun and challenging.

I hate to write bashing reviews, especially for one of my favorite courses. But I played the West Course for the first time after playing the East multiple times and my 9 holes took over 2.5 hours to complete. The group in front of us who I thought was the problem was playing each hole like molasses, but as we made the turn going to 10, we were surprised by a 3-4 group hold up in front of us waiting to tee off. I left after I saw this as there was no way we were going to finish before sundown. This is one of the only courses where I haven’t seen a Marshall enforcing pace of play and it shows, but the entire staff there is awesome. Course played tough with the rough being 4-5 inches thick in some places but the layout is fun. I’ll go back most likely just because it’s close to me, but I hope I’m not met with this issue again because I truly do love Bear Creek

Great conditions. A bit too hot and humid. Paied up with another single and a two some..do us four...but course was crowded. Took almost four hours to play only 12 holes...never would of finished in time. Started 20 minutes off from ter time at 309 pm...and stopped as after 12 holes and it was 650 pm. Probably could have continued but it would have been 830 or sunset by the time we got to 18.

Well, the course was closed down because of flooding.

Waiting on golf now to return my money.. $300

Came out on a holiday to play rates for more expensive, got harass by three Marshall telling us to pick up the pace. I’m out there to relax and have a good time and one of my players that was in my foursome has cancer so I wasn’t pushing the game, but of course nobody really cares.!!!!
