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.

Excellent course
On vacation and played in Texas for the first time.
Course was excellent and the pro shop staff made the experience very enjoyable.
Sam the pro shop manager went above and beyond with his welcoming assistance.
Pace was a little slower but was a busy day
MJH Bear Creek
Decent course, pace of play was a little slow but not obnoxious.
Trying to get 18 in
Following a board meeting in the morning, I was trying to beat the dark and get 18 in on a beautiful November day in Dallas. I was able to secure a Hot Deal on GolfNow at Bear Creek. The course is a great layout and was in great condition for November even though the greens were quite slow. Pace of play was great even though there were a lot of golfers. We were able to play in just under 4 hours and beat the dark. The extra bonus of seeing a number of jets taking off from DFW is always an added bonus at Bear Creek.
Beautiful Course
Absolutely beautiful course, had it’s challenging areas which is good. Would play here again
old clunker
We played mid afternoon on the East course. Course was fine...was in pretty good shape given how hot the summer was....However, we got an older cart as they had a lot of cart rentals that day and the newer carts were all out on the course. The starter apologized.. The cart was horrible. Didn't break well, parking brake was difficult to set....my wife and i were repeatedly hitting it on hills... Seat was torn too...didn't do well on hills...just was a flash back to a 1990s old cart... Im exaggerating but it was bad...We stopped at 13 holes as we were sick of the cart and play was a bit slow... Tip...we should have bought some waters before we left as the beverage cart wasn't available on the front 9... I do think 90% of the golfers had newer carts...but doesn't help if its not you...
Great course
Very nice! Enjoyed all the amenities and the layout.
Great course
Was nice to be able to get a tee time on such a great course. We were able to plan ahead because the tee times were available earlier then other courses on Golf Now. Amenities are great! It's challenging but fun!
Home of the 6 hour round
Played on a Saturday afternoon and expected it to be slow. Boy was it ever! Took 3.5 hours for the front 9 and I left after hole 16 because I was at the 6 hour mark and was not going to make dinner. The marshals did absolutely nothing to improve pace of play.
The course was in rough shape and for the price there are many other metro plex courses I will play in the future.
If you want lots of time to sit and chat with your buddies. This is the course for you!
Tough course but in good condition
I played the east course in the afternoon and it was not very busy. The course is in very good shape and the greens are very fast and in good condition. I would recommend this course and prepare for a tough round of golf. I will definitely play this course again.
Slow Pace of Play
Nice course. Great layout. Conditions are above average. It’s a problem when you’re having to wait 10 minutes to play every shot. There needs to be a course marshal moving the slow players along.
Great course but backed up
Challenging course, great conditions, amazing clubhouse/range/outdoor area, nice staff. I teed off in the afternoon and the pace was slow. Maybe there was an event but we had 5 groups backed up on the back 9.
