Bear Creek Golf Club - West Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Average
The course was in good shape
Pace was slow front nine but staff got involved and fixed for back nine
Cart staff needed .ore choices on cart and prices on cart were very high
July 4th Holiday Round
Course is in good condition. Greens could use a little work. This is the second time in a month I've played here and have been behind a 5-Some. We finally had to go around them and skip a hole and there was no one for 4 holes in front of them. No ranger ever came by and the 5-Some had no golf etiquette. They really need to stop with this practice or I may never go back.
Had a great time.
Came in as a single for the first tee time. Matched with a good group of guys and really enjoyed the course. The course was in good condition, the traps were a bit crusty and could use some more sand. Other than that, the course was well groomed and the greens were true.
Confidence builder
If you can keep it in the fairways you will enjoy this course because it is very narrow. Not recommended for a beginner. Several holes had blind shots and since this was my first time to play here I often needed to scout the next shot. Lots of unrepaired divots on tilted fairways and a few greens showed recent repairs but overall the course was lush and soft. This is a beautiful golf course that I for sure will play again.
Great Course
Great layout and speed of play. Beautiful greens. Well maintained.
Bear Creek Golf Course
We played the West course. The fairways and greens are in good shape. Some very challenging holes. The course is beautiful. I would recommend this course to everyone.
Finally a good pace
My biggest complaint about this course was how slow a round was. On Sunday the pace was good and we didnt get stuck behind any groups of 5 or 6.
The greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape.
Old Fairhful
The course is always in pretty good shape. Need to work on the bunkers on the east course. Strongly suggest to rope off part of the course as there is no marshall and people drive everywhere. The course would stay in better shape.
Review of Bear Creek East Golf Course
Great value for roughly $35 golf round.
Extremely well laid out golf course that is
well maintained for a hot Texas Summer!!
A Fun Challenge
The Bear Creek East Course is one of the most challenging public courses in the area. The fairways and greens are in great shape, but the sand traps need attention. Every hole is unique, requiring precise shots off the the tee and onto the greens - a great layout!!
Good round but hot
The course was in good condition, except for the traps. They were hard, crusty and looked like they rarely get raked. They need to be upgraded with better sand. Like hitting out of dirt. They have been like this for several years.
Bear Creek West Golf Course
Course is in great shape. Nice fairways and greens, plenty of shade for the hot days. Very challenging. I highly recommend playing this course. They do need to stock Coca Cola products.
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.
