Bear Creek Golf Club - West Course

Was told driving range was under construction. Saw guys out there later. Not sure what happened there. Careful on hole #1 - the fairway is literally falling into the river. Nasty little “feature” if you fade your tee shot. Stay left. On the first long par 5 the middle of the fairway has eroded. Good news is it trapped my drive. My friend’s drive rolled about 50 yards back down the hill. Fairways tight and dry and roll - in every direction.

Generally the fairways are tight. Greens were in great shape today. Fast but not slick. True roles. Several holes were missing tee box markers so I think we played blues all day. Friend had a range finder. Bring one.

Was really excited to play Bear Creek (East) for the first time, but I was very disappointed in how the day went. I do not recommend going on a Saturday afternoon.

- Tee time was pushed back by 45 minutes

- Resulted in only being able to complete 12 holes before sunset

- No range balls available and no room on the driving range

- Course was overbooked and backed up all day

- No concessions were offered or made for the delay / inability to finish

Enjoyed the course layout and would maybe consider playing again when the course is less busy.

every time I've been here it's always backed up..... pace is so slow it sucks....

Greens were in really good shape. The rest of the course was good for late fall dormant conditions. Curiously, lots of blue tee markers missing. Pace of play was ok, but they had allowed 4 groups of 5somes ahead of us,. Got paired up with a group of guys. Enjoyed my last round before surgery.

Given the month (November), the course was in great shape. It had rained hard the previous evening so the bunkers were unplayable (full of water). Apart from that it played very well. Fairways and greens were in great condition, I cannot speak to the rough. I never played in it

Not so often to find an elevated course with many dog leg holes in DFW area. Also, the course is good condition including the greens.

Shorter more simple course. Course is in great shape! Staff is friendly and helpful. Marshall came by a few times to make sure everyone was on pace. Carts could use some updating (old gas carts and ours had a squeak in the brakes). Finished in 3 hrs 10 mins. For a 4 some.

Course was in very good shape for mid-November. Greens were running fast. Pace of play was a bit slow but overall, a pleasant golf experience.

Had a gorgeous day but pace of play was horrendous

Had a 110pm tee time.. got off early at 1230pm but was by myself as a single and hampered by the fact that I had two threesomes in front of me that were slow and didnt allow me to play through. So it was a stop start

round. Had to wait a few times for them to putt out as they went back and forth measuring putts..Finished nine holes at 245pm.. so a litile over two hours and 15 minutes. With still 9 to play and the sun setting at 5 pm i

quit my day and went home.

I called the course and the course would let me cancel, but golf now would not.

5 hour round, the common complaint they never address. Zero marshals on the course to enforce pace of play. Always seems like 5 groups are there for the same tee time.

The GPS system was really cheesy;the sand traps were red dirt. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. The leaves were terrible. In my opinion, this course would have been rated four stars 10 years ago but it has really gone downhill. If they would update their GOS; put sand in the traps(after COVID-19) and spend more time blowing leaves off the course this time of year, they would earn back their 4 star rating from me.
