Bear Creek Golf Club - East Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Creek Golf Club's East Course is considered a tad more difficult than the West, with tighter fairways and smaller greens. Fourteen of 18 holes dogleg, so its label as a target course is accurate. Elevation changes make club selection a challenge, and the par 5s are tough to reach in two. No. 5 stands out on the front: a 385-yarder that doglegs left and involves an approach over water. No. 8 is longer (418 yards) and features water in the fairway landing area and along the right side. On the back, no. 15 is the signature, playing 432 yards and tricky because of the blind approach shot.

Wouldn’t complain if the pace was better.
Only thing bad about the course is the sand could be softer. The real complaint is that it should not take more than 5 hours to finish. Had to wait 10-15 minutes to tee off on a few holes but that is not the clubs fault. Players need to drop and hit if they can’t find their ball after a couple minutes of looking. Quit wasting everyone’s time behind you.
The greens were not consistent and were bumpy due to brown spots/cuts on greens
West course in really good shape
The course was in really good shape. Specially the fairways and greens. Bunkers were a bit washed out, but that was understandable because of a pretty big storm hitting just the day before. Tee boxes were a bit worn out. All in all, the course played fine and pace of play was decent, considering the amount of play this course gets.
Top 5 Course in DFW
I absolutely loved playing Bear Creek West. The conditions have been spectacular during the fall winter and now spring. The staff is always friendly and the value is above other courses at a higher rate.
Great course for a visitor
Flew into town for 2 days with time to play before flying out, the course is directly under the airport flight path. The East course was in good shape not great, sand on the greens but they rolled true. The staff was great and I didn't bring my clubs because it was a quick trip and they had nice complementary (rental) clubs with a QI35 driver and QI irons. They added a fourth to our group and the course was full but we still finished in under 4 hrs. I would recommend Bear Creek!
Nice public course in good shape for late winter. Well staffed & friendly. Our 4 some played right at 4 hours. This track used to take +5 hours almost always; they’ve done a nice job in speeding up play.
Not up to par
This course normally is one of the best per price value for a public course baring the plane traffic noise which can be overlooked since it's location. But on this day the greens where more bumpy than oatmeal. The beverage cart was seen twice and the second time was at hole 17 ! The experience got worst when our 4 some caught the foursome ahead of us on hole 12 which seemed to play each remaining holes at a pace of 25 mins per. Just not what I expected for this venue from prior visits. East course was played.
Course in good shape
Finally able to play a round of golf after the cold spell. The fairways are in excellent condition. The greens are in excellent condition as well. It wasn’t crowded at all so I’m not sure why a marshall would tell us to speed up play if the guys behind us weren’t even close to being right behind us
Great Day at Bear Creek
Played the West Course. Fairways were nice and painted, and well maintained. This is an anomaly normally in north Texas. Greens rolled well. Tough track. Nice to not have homes surrounding the course. Woods abound. Would definitely play again.
Bear Creek is the most well-managed public course I’ve played in DFW. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Greens were somewhat punched and a few soaked areas from sprinklers. 9/10.
