Bear Creek Golf Club - West Course
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.

Needs better management
No range balls available at 7:30am on a Sunday. Brutally slow foursome in front of us let out at 7:45am. Early rounds like this should never be allowed to plug up the entire course.
Tee boxes were in rough shape. Greens were in excellent shape as were traps. Potential to be so much better with proper management.
BECAREFUL OFF THE TEE BOX
really liked the course for the most part. was in great condition and greens were fast. there are several blind shots off the tee box and if you choose the wrong club it will cost you a ball in the water or in the woods....so beware.
Great Course!!!
Bear Creek is in FANTASTIC shape. The greens are rolling smooth and true. The staff is very friendly and the other golfers are very friendly. Will be back for sure!
Most Overcrowded Course I've Ever Seen in Four Decades of Playing
Booked a 10:08 tee time for the West course. Heard rumors of a tournament on the course that had shotgun started a few hours earlier. Yet they were still slipping groups like mine into the flow. When we teed off there were three groups waiting behind us.
We waited on average 10-15 minutes at each subsequent tee box. It took right at TWO HOURS to complete the first four holes. It was such a beating, we left at that point, walking away from a $50 green fee.
It was wildly irresponsible, and greedy, to jam that many groups onto an 18-hole track. I emailed the course afterward, but haven't gotten a response yet.
Have played there maybe 40 times in the past, but this was my last if I don't hear from them.
Good shape a must play
Overall always like playing this course. Only negative was the bunkers were not in good shape. Many bunkers were hard pan and hard to get out. Rough in many areas needed to be cut.
Still a must play
East Bear Creek Course
It was very hot and the pace was very slow. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Had to quit after nine holes due to the heat and the pace of play. Very expensive 9 holes of golf.
Best Greens
The greens were the best I have been on this year. I normally play Cowboys and your greens are faster and smoother.
Overall good
Both east and west are in pretty good condition. Very busy on weekends.
4:44 round. Tee time didn't start on time... About 15 mins behind in fact.
Tee times are not going off on time. Not even close. Behind schedule 15 mins which is really absurd when you think about it how easy it is to get people started on time. Tee boxes are in bad shape. Greens are good and firm. Few sand traps I saw looked good. But lots of fairway divots need attention and they carts are in bad shape. Cart girls were friendly and frequent which was nice.
Great Overall Course & Experience - West Course
This is my first time playing Bear Creek and it was great! We played on the West course and there was only one green that had patch repairs. The fairways were great and the course layout made for a very fun and challenging round. We had an 8:30 am tee time on Friday, so the course wasn't overly crowded but certainly picked up as the morning progressed. I will absolutely play Bear Creek again.
