About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 72
Length 6670 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.4

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.

Bear Creek East Course

Greens were immaculate, fairways very well kept. Some of the tee boxes were in repair, but that did not take away from the play. I’d say a little on the pricey side for DFW but you definitely get what you pay for! I will come back and I would recommend.

Slowest round of golf ever

Have not played this course in 25 years and now remember why.. understand the new GM is attempting to book 300 rounds per day. Are you f$&@ ing kidding me. We got to # 11 had a group waiting in the tee box waiting for the group in the fairway that was waiting on the group on the green with the group behind us finishing on the green on # 10. At this point we were 3.5 hours in and 11 would have taken us at least 30 or longer.

Greens looking good

Played the West Course Friday Morning. This course was one of the few in the DFW area that remained open pretty much throughout the pandemic and therefore has seen lots of play. The course has held up quite well, especially the greens. Props to the golf course crew for maintaining great conditions.

Bear Creek West

Got an early tee time to beat the Texas heat... I was not the only one with that idea. The course was very full, but the Marshalls kept everyone moving. Also riding in a cart solo made the round under 4 hours. Currently the course is in great shape from tee to green. A few holes on the back have been recently sodded, but nothing that will effect the round. Very impressed overall with the shape of the course.

soooooooo slow!

Got so frustrated that I stopped at 9. Four 4-somes were backed up on No. 5. Called the clubhouse to send out a marshall, because we never saw one on the course, but they would not answer. Another Golfer told me in the parking lot that they had allowed 8 Japanese women to play as an 8-some. In other words, each would wait for the other seven to hit. I understand that this was addressed, but its hard to believe. Not fun to play nine in three hours. This course is usually a delight. Not today.

East in good shape

Enjoyed a round on the East Course. Had been a few years since I last played this course, and it was in much better shape than last time. Greens rolled true, fairways were in good shape. Only thing was that the bunkers were awful and most were unplayable.

Beverage carts cane around regularly which was a plus. Course was pretty full but finished in under 4.5hrs including a stop at the turn to get some food.

very nice course but......

The east course is in very good shape right now and has been for a while, but the sand traps are atrocious. They are filled with something that looks more like a softball infield- red dirt, small bits of gravel, shallow, hard in places.... The west course has nice sand. Why don't they fix the sand traps on the east?

In spite of that, I still recommend the course and play it regularly.
