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.

Much improved
In 2004 I played the course several times a month, Today I was very pleased with the improvements that have been made.
Amazing layout and fun course
Greens were well kept and the fairways were green even during the winters. It was fun playing the course. Loved it.
Great Course, But...
Bear Creek West in great shape, as usual! But, disappointing they don’t/won’t honor Veterans with any discounts on weekend rates(even on Veteran’s Day :( )...
Slow Player
Sunday, West courses,
l don't know who is that group of around 12:20 to 12:45. 4 some player.. way slow. No marshall.
Display said "39 min slow" 4 guy never look back.
Finaly we move to East courses after front 9 holes.
Track is OK. Very loud due to proximity to airport
Course was in decent condition. Fairways and greens were bone dry. The experience was severely hampered by the proximity to the airport. There are planes landing every 10 minutes or less, so lots of noise and the air quality is questionable, too. Price was OK ($30 On Golfnow)
Good time
We had a good time today. The course was in good shape.
Open, easy to play
This course was relatively easy to play. There were a few tricky holes but overall a great course for beginner/intermediate players. Pace of play was rather slow.
An interesting track that is decent as public courses go.
For this being the end of a hot Summer, they have done a decent job maintaining the greens, fringe, and rough.. The tee boxes, fairways, and especially the bunkers need help. Trying to figure out why the grass was dry but the bunkers were wet, which made a good number of them unplayable and inconsistent. Lots of unfilled divots in the fairways and just about every bunker needed to be raked due to inconsiderate players.
First Time Review_MLB
Nice golf course with lots of trees and challenging fairways ( East course ). First time playing at this golf course. Some of the concrete cart paths have dangerous crumbling concrete, but overall in good shape. Noticed trash in woods along fairways, which suggests some of the clientele are not being respectful. Saw turtles, water moccasin, squirrels. Ball washers came in handy but they need to change out the liquid more often. Grass in good shape but under attack in some spots from Armadillos. Will play here again. MLB
A little disappointed
Played the east course at 8am, not very busy on a Thursday.
The greens were punched a couple of weeks ago, almost fully recovered, but still a little bumpy.
The tee boxes and fairways were good, but not great. Every other course I have played lately is in exceptional shape due to the rain we have had this summer, but not this course.
The bunkers are horrific and not even playable...they haven't been touched in months and are just dirt.
Good not great
Coming off of punched greens the course wasn’t too bad. Fairways in decent/good condition and the green food for what I mentioned above. The practice range is the worst I have seen around the metroplex. Like playing in a sandbox. Other than that placebo of play was great. 18 on the east side just over 3 hours with 3 people! Would go back!
Good course
Fun course. The only problem is the first three holes has too many people looking for lost balls.
Bear Creek (DFW) - A Special Place
From the moment you enter the grounds, you can tell that you are in a truly special place. The staff is attentive and makes you feel welcome. We played the West Course and enjoyed all 18 holes. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were near perfect. We played in just over 3 and 1/2 hours without rushing. The layout is challenging, but at the same time you have chances to score. I would highly recommend playing at Bear Creek as it is a real golfing value.
