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.

Old course
Always nice to play an older course with large mature trees. Pretty course and challenging holes! Need to play smart shots to set up next shot. Tough but fair course and great amenities and friendly staff.
It was annoying aifplane noise. Other than that it was interesting course. I liked the layout.
Very Pleased Considering
We were warned that due to some weather events we'd had in the area in the previous few weeks that parts of the course had been under water. I was very pleased considering the flooding how well the grounds crew had the course playing. There were a couple of fairways that were being repaired. And a good amount of sand had been washed out of the bunkers, but they were still playable. Greens were in really good shape, and rolling nicely. Really enjoyed the round.
Course conditions
I’ve played here before on both courses and I usually like the west course better; however, on this day I don’t think it was up to snuff. Several holes early on were soaking wet with puddles in the middle of the fairway. It hadn’t rained in several days, so not sure what happened there. Other holes had lots of ground under repair, and the bunkers were wet and packed. Not worth trying to hit out of them. Also, the driving range is closed on Wednesday mornings, so no warm up.
Pace too slow to play a round
Had some type of tourney that morning, then I guess they decided to shotgun everyone they could off at noon, only got 15 holes in before dark. Thats too much to pay for 2/3rds of a round.
Rude Starter, Great course
We drove up to the number 1 tee box 5 minutes early and looked around for the starter and was nowhere to be found. We noticed the group before us already on the green so we decided to go ahead and tee off exactly at our schedule tee time (3:11) . The starter finally shows up with an attitude telling us we need to check with starter before we tee off and we shouldn’t have started without checking in. We told him we looked for him as was nowhere to be found. He said he was busy with the other course. He just wasn’t professional or friendly and rubbed us the wrong way. It wasn’t the best way to start a round of golf. Everything else was great though! The cart girl Sahara was friendly and helpful! Course is in very good shape.
Bear creek east
Wasn’t informed about a tournament that was being played during our tee time and we had to wait on golf carts.
Not worth the price
Use to love playing this course, but last outting it took 3.5 hrs to get to number 11, no chance of getting 18 in so basically the price per hole doubled. C'mon you gotta do better than this. 5 carts backed up every hole and 10-15 mins to wait between shots-
A pleasant round of golf
My wife and I played the East course for the first time. Lots of trees and several blind shots, but overall a great day.
Wow
It was a challenge great course east side maybe next time k get the west one.
New to Dallas
Excellent course! Great price! Bear Creek is in beautiful condition! As if this heatwave never happened. Beautiful challenging lil track. I definitely need a membership🔥NOW!
Slow play
Hate to give this type review, but pace was completely unacceptable, despite several attempts of course officials to motivate the group ahead of us.
