About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 72
Length 6670 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.4

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.

5hr round at 8am

No course should ever be a 5 hour round at 8am on a Saturday. 4.5 hours is pushing it but that’s what I expected. We teed off at 8:05am and finished up at 1:15pm. We kept up with the group in front of us and they kept up with the group in front of them. My group felt the problem was the rough. It is US Open weekend and last time I checked it was at Pinehurst, not Bear Creek Golf Club. The rough was 4-5 inches deep so any shot off the fairway and you absolutely couldn’t find your ball. What is the point of that for a public golf course? It was a pretty frustrating day to say the least.

Good course

Play pace slows down a lot on the “blind” hole. People forget to turn light on/off.

Awful Pace - Beautiful Course

I hate to write bashing reviews, especially for one of my favorite courses. But I played the West Course for the first time after playing the East multiple times and my 9 holes took over 2.5 hours to complete. The group in front of us who I thought was the problem was playing each hole like molasses, but as we made the turn going to 10, we were surprised by a 3-4 group hold up in front of us waiting to tee off. I left after I saw this as there was no way we were going to finish before sundown. This is one of the only courses where I haven’t seen a Marshall enforcing pace of play and it shows, but the entire staff there is awesome. Course played tough with the rough being 4-5 inches thick in some places but the layout is fun. I’ll go back most likely just because it’s close to me, but I hope I’m not met with this issue again because I truly do love Bear Creek

Slow pace of play ruin the day

Great conditions. A bit too hot and humid. Paied up with another single and a two some..do us four...but course was crowded. Took almost four hours to play only 12 holes...never would of finished in time. Started 20 minutes off from ter time at 309 pm...and stopped as after 12 holes and it was 650 pm. Probably could have continued but it would have been 830 or sunset by the time we got to 18.

Came out on a holiday to play rates for more expensive, got harass by three Marshall telling us to pick up the pace. I’m out there to relax and have a good time and one of my players that was in my foursome has cancer so I wasn’t pushing the game, but of course nobody really cares.!!!!

Convenient to airport

Lots of blind shots make it difficult unless you’re playing with someone who knows the course. It gets very hot in Texas. Low flying planes every few minutes can be a distraction. Course in decent shape. Food selection really limited.

Great experience

This was our first time to play BCW since the spring rains. The course was in great shape. No problem with pace of play. We cancelled our Arcis membership because it wasn’t worth it which will raise the cost of the rounds a little but we’ll still play occasionally. Very convenient for us.
