Bear Creek Golf Club - East Course
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.

Golfer Reviews
What a joke
This place is a legit joke. They don’t tell you that the range is closed on certain days, no warning at all. Pace of play is horrible. You’re lucky to even see the cart girl once cause she’s just sitting around talking to staff and not doing her job. Will never play here again and would never recommend this place
First Time This Summer
Played West course Sunday afternoon and finished in just under 4 hours. Never had to wait and course is in great shape. Greens are smooth and good pace. Fairways provided good lies. Overall enjoyable round. Will definitely play again soon.
Good condition
I played on 6/29, Thursday and I enjoyed much without backing up due to the extreme heat. The condition of the course was well maintained with fast greens, nice fairways, bunkers with much sands, and very sticky rough lol. But I can tell that the lay out of the East course is not the best and you can get frustrated.
Good Course, Marshall Needed
Played 6/25/23- Course was in good shape overall. the layout of the East Course is fun and very getable if you in the fairway off the tee. Started out as a single and caught two other singles that had linked up due to a 4-some playing slow. The cart girl came around 3 times in our round which was needed. Two complaints is that it was 110° out and no water coolers. I think I counted two water stations the entire time and it was like warm. There also needed to be a Marshall to get things moving. Other than that, I would definitely come back and play again.
Pace of Play was Awful
Had a 9:50 tee time. There were two groups waiting when we were supposed to tee off. First 9 took 2 1/2 hours. There were 3 4-somes waiting on the 10th tee before us. We had to leave. Terrible planning and management for an $80+ green fee.
Course was well maintained. No complaints there... was.one of the best we've played in DFW.
Nice course
Always enjoy playing here, fairways were excellent as well as the greens
Just a bit pricey for weekend fees
Great layout
Loved this course. I played the East course last week and then this week I played the West. I enjoyed both courses. One of my favorite places in DFW
Great but….
Course in great shape. Only complaint is there is no sand in the bunkers. Beside that. Can not complain
Great staff, good facilities, questionable layout (East course)
Everything about the facilities and staff are excellent! Very friendly and welcoming, great range, good putting green by the 1st tees, and a nice outdoor grill for a food stop. The course is in good shape, with carpet-like fairways, and mostly decent greens (some were a little dried out). The problem I have is with the layout of the course (East). It's very target-golf oriented, with some really weird choices on some holes (one hole is a straight fairway, that abruptly ends with a hard left turn to a green that's 3 or 4 stories down.... and over water?! And the only way to know this is to have played the course before (or be lucky and get grouped with some nice chaps that have played the course and let you know). There's also some really overly punishing design choices that hurt you even if you make "the right" shot. On the 18th for example, I hit my best drive of the day, piped right down the middle. Upon driving over the hill to find the ball, the fairway abruptly slopes down to the left, which funneled the ball into the tall rough that was also on a hill?!?! So I go from a perfect drive to a ball 6 to 8 inches above my feet in 2" deep rough. A different hole had a similar issue (I don't remember which) where it funneled a great drive down and to the right and into a creek. The only option I could see to prevent this on these holes would've been to not hit driver, but they're near 400 yard holes that day from the blues, so the approach shot would've been blind over a hill and extra long. I do want to try the West course, and I'll give the East course another shot as I loved the friendliness of the staff and the facilities.
I Love This Course
This is one of my favorite! Course was in very good condition. I really like the layout. It feels like a higher end course for sure.
Thank you for playing! We appreciate your support.
