Slope 137
Rating 73.3

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.

Bear Creek West

Got an early tee time to beat the Texas heat... I was not the only one with that idea. The course was very full, but the Marshalls kept everyone moving. Also riding in a cart solo made the round under 4 hours. Currently the course is in great shape from tee to green. A few holes on the back have been recently sodded, but nothing that will effect the round. Very impressed overall with the shape of the course.

soooooooo slow!

Got so frustrated that I stopped at 9. Four 4-somes were backed up on No. 5. Called the clubhouse to send out a marshall, because we never saw one on the course, but they would not answer. Another Golfer told me in the parking lot that they had allowed 8 Japanese women to play as an 8-some. In other words, each would wait for the other seven to hit. I understand that this was addressed, but its hard to believe. Not fun to play nine in three hours. This course is usually a delight. Not today.

East in good shape

Enjoyed a round on the East Course. Had been a few years since I last played this course, and it was in much better shape than last time. Greens rolled true, fairways were in good shape. Only thing was that the bunkers were awful and most were unplayable.

Beverage carts cane around regularly which was a plus. Course was pretty full but finished in under 4.5hrs including a stop at the turn to get some food.

very nice course but......

The east course is in very good shape right now and has been for a while, but the sand traps are atrocious. They are filled with something that looks more like a softball infield- red dirt, small bits of gravel, shallow, hard in places.... The west course has nice sand. Why don't they fix the sand traps on the east?

In spite of that, I still recommend the course and play it regularly.

Agonizingly Slow

There is just no excuse for a round to take 4 hours and 50 minutes, especially with each player having their own carts. Did not have a single hole without waiting for a group ahead to tee off. Sometimes 3 groups were on the same tee box. Marshall’s were useless. Would simply tell us that it was going to get better quickly. 5 minutes after he told us that we arrived at the 14th tee box to find two foursomes Waiting to tee off. Painful.

Not far from perfect

Played the East course. Layout was excellent & greens in good shape. Need to play the course a couple times as there are some lay up shots off the tee on a few holes that can bite you if you misclub. Biggest issue were the bunkers. They are pretty much unplayable with either rock hard compacted dirt or wet mud. Overall course is a good test. This place is always crowded I heard and it definitely was when I was there!

Golf time without fears

Extremely happy that I was able to play. This course is nice and usually busy. They took the necessary precautions for the “rona” and they allowed golf cart riders (1 person per cart). Pace of play was great. Course is in good shape.

Enjoy

My wife and I went out with no expectations and had a wonderful evening. The course is in very good shape. The greens need a little attention and some of the tee boxes but these guys are so busy! They are one of the few you can ride. Had a great experience. Try it sometime in the evening with the one you Love.

Great Conditions

I played the morning after it rained all night and the course was still fantastic. Tee boxes were green, fairways were in great condition, greens were decent. No complaints here. Paid $35 and it was well worth it.

Good time

This course has it down. 1 cart per person, but you get it 10 minutes before your tee time. There is a monitor @ the carts. Driving range is open. Beer stands & grill behind the clubhouse & beer stand next to the driving range.

Course is in good shape. Greens run true. A lot of blind shots on the course, a couple of hazards that didn’t show up on my Sky Caddie. Luckily, we were paired with regulars who knew the layout.

Course was fully booked, waited almost every shot on the back 9, but not overly so. Beverage cart girls on the course. Pace of play at 4 1/2 hours on a Saturday afternoon.

2 minutes between tee times , Course Overbooked

Group in front of us had a Tee time at 10:14 while ours was for 10:16. Had 5 groups waiting at tee box to start off. Real slow 5 Hour game. Arrived early for driving range and it was a pain having no cart till 15 minutes before tee time and having to carry everything from back of the parking lot . Just expect better experience for $50 round golf. Real Friendly staff and course was in good shape. Straight forward layout with no real interesting or exciting holes. I will skip this course and stick wth my favorite, Indian Creek.
