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.

Pace of Play was better
The slow pace of play at Bear Creek has discouraged me from playing in the past, but this round only backed up once on a blind spot hole. Everything else about the course was good to great. It’s an interesting layout with plenty challenge.
Amazing Course
It was my birthday and my father along with cousins played a round of golf here. Blown away, this course was beautiful. Clean, open, green fairways. Greens were clean and not dried out. Overall great course to play.
West Course is in excellent condition
Other than some issues on the #10 green, the course is in really nice condition.
Greens Conditions ☹️
Many of the Greens had issues. Re-soded in some places. Other looked like algae or fungus and several of the Tee boxes were closed.
Outside set up at the clubhouse was very nice.
I will play again just hope they fix the greens quickly for the price to play here.
Greens are unacceptable.
Paying full price for greens that have massive patches of bare ground and clumps of grass… unreasonable. Very disappointed.
A few poor greens
East side had some greens that need a lot of help
Especially number 3 and 6 and one or two on thr back side
Overall course is in fair shape
Greens are in bad shape . It needs major attention
It was a disappointing day as we discovered the greens were not in good shape. The person in the pro shape did not mentioned that the 3rd hole par3 has a temporary green which was not playable. I would not return playing this course until I hear better review from other players. There are better courses in the area with same price range that are in much better shape.
Poor greens
The greens on the east course were terrible. The majority of them need serious attention. It was playing through ground under repair. The rest of the course was in good shape. People were great. Service at the bar/restaurant was very nice.
Greens need attention!
Great course, but some greens need to be repaired.
Beautiful and challenging course
Very well maintained, layout is fun and challenging.
Good outing
Course conditions are descent. Some of the greens need serious work. Sod was put down and allowed to die. Staff was very friendly. We only saw the beverage cart once.
Greens are Heinous
The layout and fairways are nice but the greens are absolutely heinous. Massive sand patches in the middle of greens are overall terrible condition.
