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.

Bear Creek West
Course is in good shape for winter in Texas considering how unpredictable the weather. Green side bunkers on many holes were little too firm compared to what I’m accustomed to.
The Backyard is worth stopping at the turn for a sandwich and drink.
Enjoyed the round and will def be back.
Challenging but good experience
Joined 3 younger golfers and had a fun round. Quite a challenging course but still playable.
Buy new carts!
Condition of the course was good but the carts were by far the worst I've seen in a long time! For $75+ per golfer, they could afford or should upgrade! Touch the gas and get slammed back, and one of the two carts had a giant crack in the windshield that clattered the entire round and the other made a terrible clank behind the driver EVERY bump you hit. None of the other carts looked any better.
Hard course
Hard course, fairways slope and with winter weather (grass dead/cut low) balls roll where you don’t want them too.lol . Great shape except grass low cut
Keep BC on your short list
Course layout is a strong point. Greens we ok, but are beat up right now and repairs are ongoing; but does not affect play that much. It's winter so grass off fairway is low but fairways are pretty good right now.
Always S L O W
From a distance the course looked very good for winter. However, that was just green paint on mostly bare fairways LOL. If your ball landed on a hill, it would roll back, or forward to the flat area. (no grass) I don't believe I've ever played this course in less than 4.5 hours. This round I quit after 14 holes as I got so much back stiffness I could hardly swing. Those 14 holes took over 4.5 hours. 2 of the guys I was with quit after 9 because of the slowness. This is the only course I've ever played that has taken GPS off the carts (which adds to the slow play) and the cart I was driving (natural gas) barely ran and would take about 10 foot peddle presses to get going. This course is always packed (at least on weekends) so there is no reason to take away GPS from carts and not have carts that actually work.
Great little course centrally located
Hard to believe this public course is so well manicured. You have to play it a couple of times to know where the best landing areas are as the course takes the driver out of play on a few holes. The sand in the bunkers were immaculate, I should know I was in most of them. Looking forward to getting back out to play the West course.
