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.

Punched greens and very slow play
Sitting on the 6th tee with 3 other groups, 1.5 hours into round. No marshal, pace is horrible. Greens recently punched and no top dressing. Stay away for 2-3 weeks.
Excellent Course Conditions
Course is in great shape, especially for late July. Great job to the grounds crew!
Good Course
The course is in good shape with exception of sand traps. Downside there are no marshals so there is no enforcement there was a group of six playing we had to go around.
Good course but...
Enjoyed my time mostly. But...cart ran out of gas on 4. Called and they brought me a new one rather quickly. GPS cart was awesome but stopped working at 11 :/ Course was in good shape. Very straight. Hazard placement makes it harder than it should be.
Great course
Wonderful layout, zero complaints minus the heat. We had to take a break after 9 and cool off, hopped back on to 10 after 30 minutes and some hot-heads who hit into us called the clubhouse about our pace. Luckily the staff that came out and talked to us understood, especially since we weren’t slow and were waiting on the group in front of us to clear the green anyway. Can’t wait to come again when it cools off
Hot day, good golf
Challenging course but the condition is excellent
Played on a a very hot day but made it through
Play this course,
The course is very good condition right now. The rate is a bit high but the worth to play. The course around no house the reason why I like this course.. This course is not an easy so challenge. I shout 77.. I will play this course if rate goes down anytime later ..
Fun, challenging course
Exciting, challenging course to play that was in good condition. The staff were kind enough to let me start early from the back nine.
Pace of play
Pace of play was terrible!!! We didn't get to finish our round as we had to leave! There was a group in front of us that had 3 small boys and I am assuming 2 dads. They were very slow and held us up! No marshall around to speed them up. This is my only complaint, and I hope that I can get some kind of compensation or a voucher so that I can play the course again! It took us 3.5 hours just to finish 9 holes!!!
Great Condition
East course is in great shape. Very impressed. Greens very nice. Great deal for the money.
Bear Creek East on a 100 degree day
Course was in very good shape. Pace of play was much better than the last time I played here, but could still be better. Great starter kept the first tee moving. Greens are in superb shape, holding well struck irons and putting fast and true.
Great Course
Started as solo, picked up a partner on hole 1, and we added another on hole 2 to speed up play for everyone.
Great course layout, fairways were clean, greens were moderate and challenging. Good placement of bunkers. Lot of open fairways to hit Driver on, good fairways to hit, with bunkers placed in areas to 'reward' misplaced shots.
One of the better courses I have played in the Dallas area. Yes, you are near the airport, the plane noise is worth the green fee. Good finishing hole, and the par 5's are reachable in 3.
Loved the elevated par 3 on the back 9, and the blind shot 4s are fun to play.
A definite course to play in Dallas, especially if you are on a layover and have your clubs.
Starter was real helpful, and staff was courteous.
