Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 72
Length 6690 yards
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.

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.

Greens

The greens were recently aerated and they made you pay full price. Could not put straight to save your life. Aside from that the course is great. Tee boxes were concrete and the fairways we hacked up a little bit I play there all the time. It’s a great course for the most part.

Bear Creek just keeps getting worse

2nd time I’ve showed up for a scheduled tee time only to have the course double booking tee times. 6:24am tee time with 5 guys standing there with the same tee time and NO started to figure anything out. 5 other foursomes waiting with tee times every 3 minutes. I will never step foot on the Bear Creek course again! Ridiculous!

East Course

have played this course many times, enjoyable, challenging, good pace of play, course in good shape.

we made reservations on Golfnow.com and were supposed to pay $54.95 each, but we each pd $59.95 and we didnt catch it till well into round, so there was no benefit to using Golfnow.com. also there seemed to be only one cart girl for both courses, but that was minor--there was water on the course to drink, and we each had brought our own.

good experience overall, will return sometime, but if using golfnow.com be sure to get your promised rate, they dont seem to be anxious to give it to you

Fun, challenging, course is in great shape

Plenty of interesting and challenging holes. Bunkers not so great but overall, course is in great condition. We played on a Wednesday afternoon, so pace of play was quick. Lots of blind shots, now that we've played the holes we are ready to try it again!

Don’t waste your money

This course is ridiculously busy. Took 30 minutes to play the first hole and got to the second tee to find four groups still on the hole. You can play much better golf courses in the area for the same price.

A Classic That Is Often Overlooked

Played yesterday, and was reminded of what a awesome layout this course is. The conditions are great, pace was excellent. Well worth the discounted fee. Will most definitely be back, ( much sooner than the last visit). Go check one of their two courses out!

Still needs a bit of work

Lots of play so a bit slow and carts were short...Course still coming back from renovations so some tough spots on and around fairways. Little miffed about the senior citizen who was working the range ball machine. Almost ran me over by the back door entrance and said little. Then almost ran into my son between 1st and 2nd hole of West course, flying around the corner with no heed of us. Salty old dude who need remember who he is working for.....

Great course conditions!

Greens rolled true and fairways were well maintained. A few of the tee boxes were dry and hard. Needed a hammer to put a tee in the ground. Carts girls came around often. Great round overall!
