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.

Booked Tee Times during a Tournament Scramble
They were booking tee times during a scramble event with a pace of play of 7 hours that allowed to only complete 7 holes. They didn't offer a refund or rain check
Great Course for the money
Great course, Greens needs some work and bunkers are hard. Overall nice course.
Slow Play
I'm not sure if they overbooked, but it took me almost three hours to get through the first 9. I didn't even start the back nine because it took 30 minutes for two groups in front of us to tee off.
Acceptable
The course was in decent condition. The pro shop staff was not the most inviting and informed me that it was cart path only that day…. Why can this detail not be broadcast in advance via golf now or reservation confirmation…
The course design was fun but that’s about it. The golf carts look like they just came back from a destruction derby! They gotta put some air in those tires, adjust the brakes and throttle, wash those carts WITH soap maybe…
The bunkers needed to be raked - “hard packed” sand for all the ones I had to get out of. The tee boxes needed to be rolled and flattened. The greens were good on speed, but looked beat up (maybe this will change come summer). The fairways had almost like rolls of cut grass clumped together which meant you either played off that or cleaned and placed. Imagine after a heavy rain or wind the grass accumulates and sticks to the ground.
Paid for the weather
This course is in horrible shape, the greens bounced the fairways were rough, the tee boxes looked like farm animals had been grazing on them.. The only thing this course had going for it was the bunkers, they were in good shape. We were playing at a 2 hour 9 hold pace and the ranger came by and said to speed it up! At the end of the day the management of this course needs to improve. The one warning I would say, its just south of DFW airport so expect there to be some noise.
Not a good value course
I was really looking forward to playing this course again. I paid over $80 to play on a Sunday and it was definitely NOT worth the price. I would avoid this course unless they lower the green fees. Needless to say, I will not be returning. The greens were in horrible condition. The fairways were fair at best.
First Time Back in a Few Years
I played the East Course for the first time in a couple of years. I forgot so any had doglegs which on the shorter holes makes it very easy to hit your tee shot through the dogleg. Fun course though. The greens were pretty rough, with weeds and bare spots on many of them. I know it’s early Spring but I have played some other courses with greens in better shape.
Unique course on international airport
This course always impresess me! Would never think a course with plans literally landing every few minutes would create a setting for a fun round of golf but somehow they have done it. Great vibe outside of clubhouse. Great layout. Many areas starting to green up. Many greens brown was kinda wierd but they rolled true just weren't pretty.
Nice course
Fairways were green, greens in good condition, especially for timeof the year.. Nice layout of course
Fun Layout
Greens were fast and in good shape this time of the year.only real issue were bald spots outside of fairways, and around cart paths.
Bear Creek Rocks
Me and my son played Bear Creek today, first thing the staff was awesome. Made us fell comfortable and walked us thru the process of Golf Now. Everything went perfect will play and use Golf Now everytime.
Thank you,
Matthew
Great condition Great clubhouse
The course is in great condition for this time of year. Greens are in beautiful shape and smooth. Enjoy the outing.
