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.

Good for the price

East course greens are too hairy. Hard to putt out there. Overall a good course though. Pace of play was around 4 hours for a Sunday afternoon - not bad at all.

SLOW

Ok course if you don’t mind taking 5:30 hours for 18 holes (this was one of the first times of the morning)had very slow group in front of us and Marshall’s refused to do anything. For $80, it’ll be worth your while to find somewhere else..officially done playing here.

Nice course...looks scoreable

Tee boxes could use some work. Whatever process they use for hole cutting isn't working because the plugs don't seem to take. You could see the last 20 hole positions on each green. We played early and the sand trap's were impossible.

5-6 Hour Rounds..

Pace of play still has not been figured out by club staff.

I’ve played both courses at least 5 times and every time there has been a pace of play issue.

I can understand slow play due to weather conditions or even course maintenance but when these aren’t issues, a 5 and a half hour round is ridiculous.

To add to the frustration, the Marshall actually came up and asked our group to hurry up and move to the next hole..

Slow play

Extremely slow play, booked 18 thinking I could get 18 in before my flight. 9 holes took almost 4 hours. 3 groups per hole on average

Love this course

My first time playing the East Course.

Very playable. The course was in great shape except some of the tee boxes. Some tee boxes are a little tired. Fairways and greens were great.

Definitely recommend a round here especially if you love airplanes flying overhead!!!
