Bear Creek Golf Club - East Course

First off let’s start with the positives, great layout and greens were quick at times but overall true. Course is well taken care of when it comes to fairways but the bunkers are straight red dirt but this is understandable with Covid conditions. Honestly this course feels like a extension of the airport, the clubhouse fees like apart of the terminal and the staff both in clubhouse and on the course have no personality or courtesy. I really doubt people that love close to bear creek call the course a regular. Pace of play is really rough and there was no marshal the entire round. The course lacks personality and when your out in the Texas heat that’s what you come for. Great for a hot deal but wouldn’t ever pay full price to play again. This seems to be a standard of Arcis courses but whatever, if you profit you win. Probably a last resort if you live in the area.

My first time to play this course as I live in Austin, TX and visiting a friend at the time. I will be back to play this course no doubt.

Pace was atrocious. 18 holes in a cool 5 hours and 30 minutes due to some poor playing ahead of us plus the course sending people off every 8 minutes. Multiple times we were backed up 10-15 minutes waiting to tee off. Did I mention it was 105 degrees?

Aside from that, course is in okay shape. Definitely used a lot but greens rolled pretty good.

I did enjoy the little outside bar they’ve set up since Covid. Hope they keep that - definitely was a plus over the old bar are inside.

Hot conditions out there today

pace was pretty steady

no real hold ups

greens played good and

putted true

great day for golf

First time playing this course. Pace of play was not good and there was never a marshal around to speed up play. Not sure I would play this again.

Good layout with some interesting holes. Bunkers are holes with dirt.

5.5 hours to play. Had to wait on every tee box and almost every shot. Course is nice and in good condition but probably won’t play it again. Not worth the time and money.

Difficult front 9 and great layout. Club had outside checkin but also had a open clubhouse.

I appreciate Bear Creek because they have 2 courses and they move well so they can accommodate many golfers. The West course is IMO much better than the East and unfortunately that is the track I played. The East isn’t bad but just not as good..

Played the Bear Creek East course with a foursome.

This was my first time playing the course and my first time playing a Hot mid day round in at least two years! The round took four hours to complete.

The track was in good condition for August. The holes on the front were manageable for me and the back nine seem more challenging. The fairways were great. Greens were good shape. They roll true and fast on some of the holes.Two of the players knew the course, so they teed off first every time. Some of the hole locations were hidden by trees, elevation changes, and sharp dog legs'. Water hazards were hidden from a distance. So long hitters beware. The bunkers were terrible, and errand golf balls flying everywhere made the game different. I managed to survive the heat and play through. Although my score card took on more pencil than normal. The Putts came easier on the back nine for me than the front. Elevation and blind spots will hurt you if your to aggressive at this course. Just play it like a single player. At least it help me play a lot better after the first few holes. I will play this course again in the future; it is a fun course and not as difficult as some may think. I would advise players to play this course safe. Going for it here may cost your score card. At least part of my group paid the cost. I paid some myself.

Course is in good shape. Way to many people on the course. 5 hours to play 18

Great course, great time, outdoor grill and bar to combat the COVID situation. Only problem was getting off 30 mins later. They were running behind bad.
