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.

Staff needs help!
I play this course regularly and the front desk staff needs some new faces. They have really bad customer service and they never make people pair up which causes REALLY slow pace of play. Pace of play is an issue that can be avoided with good staff and common sense. Done put a 2 groups of 5 out during prime time and the. A single and a twosome out behind them.
Fun challenging course. We played the West course. Never disappoints. Greens real nice right now.
Awesome course
The layout is challenging, but really fun. If you play there the first time make sure you use some kind of yardage map because many times you would see the flag on the distance and think that there is no hazards on the way. However, many times you would find your ball in the hazard because a creek, a lake or pretty much stuff you wouldn't think is there is actually there. So don't hit the driver every hole if you want to keep your ball!
Great Day!
Decided to play last min Sunday morning and looked on line and they had 9am open for a single.
Place was wide open maybe because of mothers day? Pace was great played in 3.5 hrs course was in great shape.
Staff needs to be prepared for large turn outs
The course was in decent shape and it was the first good day we have had in over a month so you had to know it was going to busy. On top of that they had a massive charity event on the west course and they ran out of carts. My group was one of three that missed their tee time waiting for carts. All I can say is this is not the first time this course has let me down.
Better With Your Boys
I played here last week as a single paired with 2 other golfers. I liked the course so much I call both of my sons and had them take off work to play with me and they did! One of them has a time sensitive job so he got a call and missed 2 holes on his laptop fixing some kind of problem somewhere in the world. He said he too had a blast and loved the course. Now when he leaves DFW he will be able to identify a spot he enjoyed with his brother and pop.
Mature course
Course used it be second to none in the private pay line. However it needs a little facelift. Practice area is pretty worn out. Windy day layout of the West course has lots of blind shots. Sand and greens were consistent. If it’s goin be windy play the east course
Try This Course
I like to try different courses and this is one I'll play again with my son. I golf to see the beauty of the course, be outside and have fun. I work on improving my game (need a lot of that) but that is not as important to me compared to the new people I meet and the course. It seems like the more water hazards there are the better I like it and this course did not disappoint.
Your club house restroom and your course restroom are in much need of cleaning and upkeep throughout the day.. Both restrooms were dirty and unstocked with toilet paper. In addition, you need to hire more cart girls.we only saw 1, 1x per 9 holes.
Course itself is in great condition. Greens rolled well. Green-side sand traps had no sand in them. Hitting out of dirt & mud made it extremely difficult to score out of the traps. The main reason for a 2-Star rating on course condition.
Bear Creek West
Good Value and good course. Courses get a lot of traffic but the greens are in good shape. Bunkers and fairways are better on the West course.
Better than expected
Great layout challenging but fair enough to be fun for all skill levels, lots of elevation changes, one of the most interesting courses I’ve played in a long time. Loved it!
Awful
Took 6.5 hrs for two of us play. Terrible course management. 10 minute wait on the #2 tee box right of the bat. Management wants to cram as many players in one day as possible. Course fairways were awaful.
