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.

Nice track
Played the West course and really enjoyed it. Great condition. Greens are quick and true. Forgiving fairways with lots of elevation changes. Got a little bottled up on the back but overall pace was good.
One of the best bang for the buck courses in dfw.
Course was in good shape with pace of place excellent.
This course is Hot!
Great place to play even during the heat! Waters are available on each 9 for you to grab. Pace was great for a Saturday
Great place to play
Fantastic course, even better staff. Only complaint was they had complimentary waters, but it was 104 degrees out and all the coolers were empty by the time we got to them.
Tremendous staff
Our course is currently being renovated so we’re playing wherever we can. Haven’t played Bear Creek in over a decade and the West course was on fairly good shape (greens punched a week ago or so). The staff was as friendly and personable as you’ll find, better than some private clubs.
First Timer
Played the West course. Very challenging course from the Blue. I enjoyed the elevation changes. Greens were punched about a month ago and will be ready in another week or two. Some tee boxes need attention but mostly good. 4+30 to play 18 was a bit much. The course needs a marshaller to keep groups moving. Groups in front were playing cart golf and not ready golf. I’ll be back. Great place to play.
Lots of trees, good grass, bad bunkers
This is one of the best bargains for golf in DFW. Good grass and good greens. What is not good is the play from the bunkers. There is not near enough sand in the bunkers. It feels like hitting off of concrete.
The carts are good with a small screen gps, but there are no signs that tell you when to get off the fairway so they shut down without warning and make you do the backup of shame.
Great condition
Course is in really good shape. Rough is tall and you’ll easily lose a couple balls in there if you’re not paying attention!
Challenging and fun
Challenging, well maintained course. Large aircraft landing add a surreal extra level of difficulty on East. Level of players and pace of play has always been proper and fun. Staff is great.
Good Day
Course in good condition, except for traps being thin on sand. Too many holes roped off for cart path only.
Great day!
Played NC West and course was in excellent condition. One hole had a temporary tee box but that should be resolved soon.
Beverage service came around a few times to help quench our thirst.
Pace a little slow on a few holes but we think it’s because they wanted to pull pin out every hole. SMH
Friendly staff.
Definitely return.
