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.

Bummed
Played with a friend from out of town and was told on the 15th hole that the course was closed?!?!! Apparently they overbooked or didn’t communicate because we paid for 18 and had to finish on the first three holes we started on. Also, the gps was smashed and when I asked about a different cart was told they all weren’t working so to deal with it. Not the experience I expected for the price.
TOO SLOW
It is absolutely ridiculous that it takes so long to play and that you allow UNMARSHALLED 4-somes to play so slow. WE waited on every shot. I will not play this course again on a weekend.
Nicely kept public golf course
I like the carts that have the tablets with the course layout and gps. Good greens and well kept course for a public golf course.
Think about a different course
If pace of play is an issue for you to be consistent, don't play here! We only played 14 holes and that was almost 4.5 hours, we left! At one point there on a hole there were 5 groups. For all of us, we are not PGA players, its called ready golf and for God sakes don't spend 10 minutes looking for your ball just drop and move on.
Couldn’t cancel
I just got sick night before and it wouldn’t let me cancel tee times ,my Fault
Great course but next door to airfield
Overall about a 4* for me. Greens were in great condition. But being right next to an airfield... We probably had 100 planes fly over throughout the round. Pace of play was bad, but also labor day weekend
Horrible
Horrible course to play. Bunkers full of water. No cart beverages on the course. Asked for hot dogs at the concession and received smoked, greasy sausage. Would not recommend this course to anyone.
Slow play
To many people on the course Waited on every hole to play 4.5 hrs only played 14 holes. Quit and went home. Won’t play there any time soon.
Pace of play is the worst in the Metroplex
The layout of the course is challenging but the pace of play is horrific and no one on the course enforcing the speed of play so I won’t be back. There was also a couple of guys behind us who felt compelled to hit in to us twice. There are plenty of better options in Dallas so I would steer clear of this course.
Pace was terrible
Had a 7:50 tee time. So you figure pace would be still fairly open. When we should have been on deck, the 1st was stacked and was told that we were 30 minutes behind and there was a twosome that is causing the bottleneck. We were informed that they had no Marshalls and that the GPS will tell groups if they are falling behind. The started then would tell each group behind the next that that group was a bunch of complainers about being bottlenecked. Our round was just over 5 hours. But I don't think it was just that twosome, as both courses seemed to have stacked up starting groups. Other than that. The course layout is great, nice to see large trees with plenty of shade to try and escape the heat.
Surprisingly good
Really good course for the price
Excellent condition
Starter extra friendly
Played with a member named John which made the experience even better
