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.

Bear Creek does a fantastic job of taking care of their courses. Fairways are lush and not burnt out like a lot of other public courses. The beverage cart comes around often and they have multiple bathrooms that are clean and well maintained. They have a great patio to hang out after your round with a cool food truck outside to keep the party going.
First round at bear creek
Course is in good shape, greens are fast, and rough is penalizing. Narrow fairways on west course are challenging from the tips. Cart girl is sweet, tip her well. I booked a late hot deal for Wednesday evening but did not notice there is a tournament on the back nine west. They were friendly enough to let me join them so that I could play all 18.
Highly Recommend!!!
Been touring DFW courses this summer. Bear Creek came highly recommended and it lived up to its reputation. Staff was great and help accommodate even though I was late for my tee time. Cart girls were very frequent and the cafe spot at the turn was very nice to grab a quick snack. Since playing their I have recommended this course to anyone I talk with and will be playing again this coming weekend. It’s the greenest course in DFW I have seen thus far which made it worth bragging about. Worth the $$$ and the challenge!
Always a good challenge
Love this course it’s always been one of my favs
Greens were a bit grainy but they still rolled ok
Wait a few months.
Not sure what happened to the course but the greens are in terrible shape. Dead grass everywhere. Maybe a chemical mix up or heat. I would wait a few months to play especially if they are still charging 60 dollars a round. Very frustrating for my first visit. Especially since I've been wanting to play there for a while. I'll be waiting for a while before I play again.
Review
When I showed up to the clubhouse to check in, I was charged an additional 1/2 cart fee because the other golfer that I was going to be riding with, didn’t show up on time for his tee time. In the end, I was driving the cart myself and the golf shop charged me for that and I don’t feel like that was my fault for someone not showing up.
Nice greens, that’s it
They started me on hole 10, which wasn’t in my tee time or email confirmation. So I was immediately stuck behind a whole course of retiree foursomes. I’m on the course currently, about 1.5 hours to play 5 holes. Summer golf in Texas is tough; it’s too hot to play in the afternoon, but old guys literally snag every single morning tee time.
West course
Hit the fairway or you will spend 5 minutes looking for ur ball in the rough. Needs more water stations
Good course
Played this course on many occasions and has never disappointed. They are working on improving the course which is good, but need to address the bare spots in the rough. Greens rolled well and fairways in good shape!
Put this in your rotation
This course is always in great condition and the staff is constantly making the rounds to ensure you play in 4 hours. They have a great patio for drinking to settle post round bets.
Thank you for playing! We appreciate your support.
What a joke
This place is a legit joke. They don’t tell you that the range is closed on certain days, no warning at all. Pace of play is horrible. You’re lucky to even see the cart girl once cause she’s just sitting around talking to staff and not doing her job. Will never play here again and would never recommend this place
First Time This Summer
Played West course Sunday afternoon and finished in just under 4 hours. Never had to wait and course is in great shape. Greens are smooth and good pace. Fairways provided good lies. Overall enjoyable round. Will definitely play again soon.
Thank you for playing! We appreciate your support.

Thank you for playing and your support. We recently dryjected our greens which is a form of aeriation that is not nearly as invasive. The greens are sandy but not damaged. We are sorry we didn't live up to a 5 star experience but we hope you will give us another chance.
