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.

Had first tee time on the course.

Sent out us as a foursome and followed us with a twosome. And of course the twosome kept hitting up on us. They should have sent the twosome out first

Green is dry & rough

It is hard to read it. It is like putting on uneven hard surface. Other than that, course and staffs are great!

Slow Play

Tee times are 5 minutes apart so you can imagine how slow the pace of play is. This is the 2nd time there was a 3+ group holdup on multiple tee boxes. Would be nice if they didn’t space out tee times only 5 minutes apart. No one likes waiting every single shot on every single hole.

Slow play

The conditions of this course is great but they space out tee times every 5 minutes which causes multiple group hold ups on several holes. It took us 5.5 hours to finish a round yesterday because we waited every single shot. Pretty pathetic. Marshall can give whatever excuses for it but it is because the 5 minute tee time spacings. That is just ridiculous.

Awesome greens

Driving into Bear Creak always feels like you are entering an upscale club. The greens were in great shape and the patio after the round is a great place to count up your winnings. I'll definitely play here again but $82 on GN is a bit high IMHO but it's definitely a place you want to check off the list of area courses.

Good to go

Have played here quite a few times. Enjoy the East course more than West.

The course is really in pretty good shape, both fairways and greens. Have played some other courses around town that are not as good of shape

Here early in June, give it a try.

Love Bear Creek

The west course is fantastic, the east, the last time I played it, wasn't in great shape. But I can say, the west was great!

Course was in good shape. Greens were good. Pace of play on back 9 was slow but overall the course conditions were good. Price is too much for a weekend round.

Bear Creek West

Played a scramble tournament here on the West course. The conditions were great, the layout was fun and challenging. Greens were in top condition.

No Water

Course does not provide water anywhere on Course. Perhaps the only course in all of Texas...
