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.

Greens are in bad shape . It needs major attention
It was a disappointing day as we discovered the greens were not in good shape. The person in the pro shape did not mentioned that the 3rd hole par3 has a temporary green which was not playable. I would not return playing this course until I hear better review from other players. There are better courses in the area with same price range that are in much better shape.
Poor greens
The greens on the east course were terrible. The majority of them need serious attention. It was playing through ground under repair. The rest of the course was in good shape. People were great. Service at the bar/restaurant was very nice.
Greens need attention!
Great course, but some greens need to be repaired.
Beautiful and challenging course
Very well maintained, layout is fun and challenging.
Good outing
Course conditions are descent. Some of the greens need serious work. Sod was put down and allowed to die. Staff was very friendly. We only saw the beverage cart once.
Greens are Heinous
The layout and fairways are nice but the greens are absolutely heinous. Massive sand patches in the middle of greens are overall terrible condition.
East course greens are terrible!
Not sure what’s happened, but the greens on East are in terrible shape. The first 9 holes or so were near impossible to putt on. Burnt grass, patches of dirt and sand only, no maintenance by players or groundskeeping crew to fix ball marks on the few greens you could see them on… it was very disappointing to see and made playing a lot less enjoyable. The fact that we were neither warned nor offered a discounted rate because of the conditions is unacceptable. We could’ve played the west course for $6 each and possibly had better conditions.
Terrible greens
Not sure how they can charge $90 for this course. There were at least five greens that were unplayable. Pace of play was awful too.
Greens need some serious love. Worst I’ve seen them in 2 years
Greens in bad shape
A lot of the greens were in pretty bad shape so putting was an extreme challenge
Greens are not in good condition
Greens are in very bad shape on the East side. West course is better
Great course
Great course and condition. Only negative is that some type of scramble going on and the pace of play was brutal. Great value for the money!
Back home
Returned to dfw for first time in 13 years. Had to play some of the familiar courses. East course was in good shape. some of the greens had some bad spots. Didn't get to play the west course. Hope to move back some day. Houston golf is nothing to write home about.
Course Conditions
Course greens were horrible, I would not play this course again until they can be repaired. They should list condition on the website. Very disappointed...
Greens are a mess
Course is in good condition other than the greens. Most are dying or without grass. One green close and temporary green created in fairway. Gonna need a lot of work to bring these back
