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.

Play this course,
The course is very good condition right now. The rate is a bit high but the worth to play. The course around no house the reason why I like this course.. This course is not an easy so challenge. I shout 77.. I will play this course if rate goes down anytime later ..
Fun, challenging course
Exciting, challenging course to play that was in good condition. The staff were kind enough to let me start early from the back nine.
Pace of play
Pace of play was terrible!!! We didn't get to finish our round as we had to leave! There was a group in front of us that had 3 small boys and I am assuming 2 dads. They were very slow and held us up! No marshall around to speed them up. This is my only complaint, and I hope that I can get some kind of compensation or a voucher so that I can play the course again! It took us 3.5 hours just to finish 9 holes!!!
Great Condition
East course is in great shape. Very impressed. Greens very nice. Great deal for the money.
Bear Creek East on a 100 degree day
Course was in very good shape. Pace of play was much better than the last time I played here, but could still be better. Great starter kept the first tee moving. Greens are in superb shape, holding well struck irons and putting fast and true.
Great Course
Started as solo, picked up a partner on hole 1, and we added another on hole 2 to speed up play for everyone.
Great course layout, fairways were clean, greens were moderate and challenging. Good placement of bunkers. Lot of open fairways to hit Driver on, good fairways to hit, with bunkers placed in areas to 'reward' misplaced shots.
One of the better courses I have played in the Dallas area. Yes, you are near the airport, the plane noise is worth the green fee. Good finishing hole, and the par 5's are reachable in 3.
Loved the elevated par 3 on the back 9, and the blind shot 4s are fun to play.
A definite course to play in Dallas, especially if you are on a layover and have your clubs.
Starter was real helpful, and staff was courteous.
Bear Creek East Course
Greens were immaculate, fairways very well kept. Some of the tee boxes were in repair, but that did not take away from the play. I’d say a little on the pricey side for DFW but you definitely get what you pay for! I will come back and I would recommend.
The Good and Not so good!
Good: at $65 each worth it
Greens in great shape
Cart girls very nice
Cart caddies
Not so good;
Tee Boxes
Range not included in fee
Teeing area at range mostly dirt
No holes on putting green only 3 targets
No pulling the flag, very odd
No rakes so take drops from bunker, strange
Great Value on GOLFNOW
Fairways and greens were a great condition. Highly recommended.
Slowest round of golf ever
Have not played this course in 25 years and now remember why.. understand the new GM is attempting to book 300 rounds per day. Are you f$&@ ing kidding me. We got to # 11 had a group waiting in the tee box waiting for the group in the fairway that was waiting on the group on the green with the group behind us finishing on the green on # 10. At this point we were 3.5 hours in and 11 would have taken us at least 30 or longer.
Greens looking good
Played the West Course Friday Morning. This course was one of the few in the DFW area that remained open pretty much throughout the pandemic and therefore has seen lots of play. The course has held up quite well, especially the greens. Props to the golf course crew for maintaining great conditions.
Course in very good condition
For the amount of play, course in great condition. Greens among the best for public courses in the area.
Always a Great time!
The course is in great shape and the staff is super friendly. The Starting Marshal is an awesome guy and always have a friendliness about himself.
