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.

Over priced, terrible pace of play, no drinkable water, no golf ball washing station, over watered fairways and mud everywhere
$60 for 18 and cart and green fees. The golf car very rarely went forwards after pressing the gas. Often times drifting backwards and suddenly kicking into gear giving you a jolt.
Pace of play was so bad. Scheduled tee times were 5 minutes apart which meant every hole was stacked with people on the green, mid-hole, and tee box.
Everything was muddy. Greens must’ve been punched semi-recently or they have a bad mower.
Saw the golf cart girl twice in 4hr 45 minutes. No water stations or golf ball cleaner stations anywhere on the course.
Wednesday golf
Course is in great shape with the heatwave.we have had over the last few months.
PLZ check my reservation.
At first, I accidentally booked two and canceled one, but the amount of the canceled part was calculated. Please let me know about this by e-mail.
Tough course, pace felt slow
Course is tough but fair. Staff is friendly. Pace was slow with lots of waiting.
Average everything but staff
The staff was great in the bar- at the trailer- on the course- everywhere!
The course is tired and needs some work throughout, but the recent improvements are promising
Bear Creek East
The greens were recently punched so they are still recovering. Finished our round in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Nice course layout with some forced carries and blind second shots. The course was very busy, but not as much as the West course. Both are solid courses but the East course is need of some TLC on the tee boxes and bunkers. Will play here again.
Unexpected Pace
They send people off of 10 creating a bottleneck. I was 6:27 tee time. I wanted to be done in 3 hours. I had no idea that people would be teeing off of 10 mid morning. First 9 - :90 minutes, Back 9 - :140 minutes. Not doing that again.
Slow
Too crowded on the weekends. Way too slow. Waiting on every tee. Miserable in the heat. Also, so much traffic means the areas around the greens have no grass.
The course is in great shape. Greens are fast and the rough is tall and thin underneath so it presents a solid challenge if you’re not accurate or have good tempo with your putting.
My only criticism is that the pace of play is too slow. They need to either space groups further apart or implement another system of group size and scheduling to improve the pace of play. Tee’d off at 8:30am Saturday morning and it took 5 hours to play 18.
Great course!
Staffs are friendly & professional. Cart girl is available during the game. Just wish to have iced water buckets available to cool my head down with the 100+ heat..
Bear Creek
Enjoy my round...course is good shape...other than airplane fly over ita fun course . I would recommend
Great greens
Course was in good shape. Greens were awesome!! Pace was almost 5 hrs. In this heat I might put out some water coolers to help with the fountains.
