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.

Facelift
Course under construction or it would be 5 stars across. Cart paths getting a major overhaul. Fairways were getting new grass in several areas. Everything is super green and looking fabulous! Greens were smooth and quick! It really is looking pretty awesome except for the construction zones.
Good course for the cash
Nice course. It’s well manicured and you can tell they don’t leave things undone that need to be addressed. Great course for those who can bomb a drive! A lot of High tee boxes looking down to the greens, and the par 3’s are really tough. Cart girls are 7 days a week starting at 9 and very efficient. Go play it!
Painful pace of play
We left after a 3 hour front 9, and there were 2 foursomes waiting to tee off on the 10th tee. Marshals nonexistent.
Ground under repair
The sand traps were being completely redone, fairways were thin, greens had recently been aerated. I liked the layout
Poor fairways and over priced
$70 to play this course and the fairway is very hard, lots of areas where it’s just dirt. All sand traps were being redone so no playing out of them and the greens are being worked on as well. I just think for the price it should be in better shape. Drop the price while you are getting this work done.
Great Course
It was my first time playing this course and I will definitely be back. The fairways and greens were in good shape and the course was challenging without being discouraging. They are renovating most of the bunkers, so you cannot play out of them at the moment. There were a few par 4s that are cart path only, which can be challenging when choosing clubs at the cart. The course marshal was very active in making sure the pace was good and even stopped by with cookies during one of this rounds.
Under construction
My foursome paid $65 each to play this course on an early afternoon tee time (11:30). My expectations based on that cost were much higher than what we experienced. While teeing off on the first hole construction crews were busy placing piles of sand into the bunkers with machinery sitting in the fairways. The tee boxes were dead and lacked grass to hit from. The greens for the most part were in good shape until you arrive at 18 which has a crack running the length of it.
Golf now
Golf now keep asking me to write a review and I dont like writing reviews. Golf now ..pllease stoo
Cold Day
Always Good to Play
Been playing Bear Creek since the 80s. Enjoy the West Course over the East, but both courses are good to play.
