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.

Back in tip top shape
After recently constructions and tee trimmings, this course has sprung back to almost in its glory days. Nice fairways and greens, bunkers are well maintained. Tree trimming make this course now a lot more appealing and open but don't let that fool you, still can get into trouble if not careful off the box. Pace of play is quite slow on the weekends.
Coming along - East course
Fairways in great shape. Bunkers needs help but still have water damage from recent rains. Green were punched but seems like they are having issues growing.
Still needs work
Anxious to play after closing due to overhaul. Work ain't done with tree removal and sodding (some in middle of fairway) unfinished...Also 3 or 4 holes had temporary tee boxes on fairway...Overall, fairway turf fine and greens excellent...Be great when work is completed..Get er done!!
Course is in good shape
Good conditions BUT always slow playing here don’t expect to ever play under 4 hours here but course is in decent shape don’t play the east course though greens are trash but west course is ok
Course needs to heal after construction
The west course was shut down for about 5 months while the city put in a new sewer line for the airport. Holes 10 and 11 had all the trees on the left side of the fairways taken out and now theses two holes play very different. The biggest thing is that the ground and the grass need time to come back. This is in no way the fault of the staff or grounds crew they have done a fantastic job getting it to the point it’s at. The greens were still a little spotty but that should be solved in a few weeks. The putting green is being completely replaced so you have to practice on the chipping green but that’s no big deal. They are also re doing the front of the club house it will look fantastic when they are done
Nice course very playable little storm damage to course due to a thunderstorm that caused some playability overall worth the green fee for sure
Greens are important
Greens were rough. Water them more than the rough. You’re tee boxes need a little leveling work but fairways were great and course set up is great. Water stations were well placed and very helpful.
What a crappy experience
Accidentally booked for the wrong day drove to the course and couldn’t play and then they charged me afterwords for not making my tee time
Give this place a month or two
Greens are struggling, very bumpy, to the point where putts inside 10 feet are unmakeable
One of my favorite layouts but your money’s much better spent on the West course for a little while
Not bad for a sunday
Crowded but not to slow! Pretty good condition for this time of year. Sand traps need real sand in them. All and all a good day at the course. Better than being at work!
3.5 hrs to play 9 holes
3.5 hrs to play 9 holes there were 4 groups backed up on every tee box, paid for 18 holes and left after 9. course was in good shape but the pace of play was brutal
Not in good shape
Course is not in best shape, greens are bald and bumpy , fairways are hard tee boxes are ok. Pace of play as usual sucks. Need to play this course like 10 times before you know HOW to play it too many blind tee shots and dumb holes you have to hit a 7 iron of the tee so it doesn’t run into a creek just a weird course layout I have never liked it here and the conditions are sub par right now
Great layout
A great layout that has subtle elevation changes and challenging shots. The greens roll better than they look but are very firm. Fairways rolling well but at times a bit firm as well. A very pure golf layout with lots of challenges at every turn! Worth the money if you’re in the area. Learn to leave the driver in the bag if you’re wanting to score well here.
