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.

Use to be a great course.

Still........... this place has the worst tee boxes in the DFW area. This need to be addressed. It's a great course but this has been an issue for years and it's just getting worse. They have changed a lot to speed up play which is good but if the tee boxes stay in this shape I'll never go back.

Beautiful Fall Coloring

The front nine of the West Course offered fantastic vistas with its hilly terrain and each hole framed by trees changing colors. Back 9 is also pretty, but the Hwy 360 freeway that runs along a few holes cuts down on the tranquility.

Course was in good condition and is an excellent value.

Front nine was a bit slow, but the back nine picked up and total round was 4:10.

I really enjoyed the layout at this course. It’s framed nicely with a lot of trees. Really makes you play target golf.

Wanna play this course again

I'm a beginning player, really enjoyed the course, it allowed me to continue to improve my play. Drawback is a lot shots in the blind, due to no hole layout on the scorecards or at the tee boxes. Still a great outing and the hazards are not bad...

This was the East Course.

GPS !!

GPS on carts is one of the best features to arrive over the years. This perk has been removed from some courses lately, and for the golfer that likes variety in layouts, this is very disappointing. The system is great for promoting services, as well as help on blind shots and tracking the whereabouts of others. These Bear Creek courses need more markers throughout-GPS recommended.

Had Fun

Fairways were in good condition. Greens were a little bumpy from being punched recently. They need to be rolled.

This place is brutal

Worst bunkers I've ever seen. Tees were nasty. Greens were avg. Putting green and range were a joke. I hope you like paying $9 for a medium bucket of balls that are old, scuffed up and have all been run over by the mower. Spent a total of $80 and wish I could take it all back and do yard work or something. Save your money or play elsewhere

improved bunkers, still very thick rough

Played on 9/8 and bunkers on several holes were shabby. Compacted. But today i landed in several and they were fluffed and raked. Rough is really high and finding the ball let alone hitting it back into the fairway is no small task.

Greens finally playing acceptably

Much improved course over the last couple of years

I live/play in the Flower Mound area, and the West course has become my favorite in the area for the price. Nice , efficient staff. West course has alot of old-growth trees that make it challenging to play. A lot of trees have been cut out in the last couple of years, also. Greens were just punched but otherwise great. Fairways and sand traps in great shape; Tee boxes were a bit chewed up.

The course is in good shape, we've had a lot of rain this summer so it's helped keep the greens in nice condition with the heat

Greens under aireation so not fun putting but rough was ridiculously high thick. You guys control pace if it takes 5 minutes to find a ball just five yards off line. Great fairways so lush and wide in landing areas. Bunkers could be fluffed and raked: No uniformity from bunker to bunker.

Good value with some care could be very good. A long way from excellent but very good is within reach. If you mow the rough so we can find our ballls
