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.

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.

Major improvements on the way

Clearing the brush, redesigning course and approval to fix bunkers. Great course and glad they are planning to invigorate the course

Slow Play kills a great day of Weather

Mid January is always chancy at getting great weather for golf. This particular Sunday afternoon was beautiful with light wind and warm enough to see some players in shorts. This course is in awesome shape for all the overnight freeze/frost we have had this fall and winter. However, the pace of play is horrendous when you have to wait on every shot for the group in front of you, in front of the group in front of the the group in front of the group. TeeOff was right at 2:00 pm and it was a 6:45 finish in the dark. Why don’t they have a Marshall and instruct people to play ready golf? They also closed the makeshift snackbar and outside bar before we made the turn before 5:00 pm. Only saw the beverage cart on the front nine about hole four. Problem was she was pre occupied with text someone and not paying attention to customers. This once was one of the best in the area, well managed and top notch. It’s slipping.

Great Course, Holiday Pace of Play

The course is in great shape, albeit dry and it is winter.

With the course being this dry and hard, balls will roll a long way.

Being a holiday, and late afternoon, the pace was slow through the first six holes on the West course. The marshal gave us a friendly heads up the play would be slow and he was right.

Otherwise the course was in very good shape.

My only complaint was the lack of on-course refreshments (beer-girl). I saw one drive past us on the first hole and we never saw her or anyone else the rest of the day. I was parched.
