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.

Worse golfing experience ever
Had a 4:30 tee time. Course was running 30 minutes behind when we arrived. No starters or marshalls. Very unorganized. Worker told me the course decidedto shorten the times between tee times. Not smart during social distancing.. Because of the amount of people on the course we were only able to .play 10 holes in 4 hours. Ran out of sunlight. The pace of play was horrible. Got to 2nd hole and 3 foursomes were waiting at the tee box. I feel managment decided to squeeze as many people as possible to make up for lost money the past few weeks. I feel like my money was stolen. Horrible experience and will not be returning.
Slow pace of play, but that is not a result of their scheduling. When we played , it was one of the few courses open. Supply and demand. Bear Creek is doing a good job practicing CDC and keeping golf going. Course is in good condition.
Good Coursr
Course is in solid shape. Greens are good. Fairways and tee boxes are OK. May need a little time to grow in. Well worth the $$.
No beverages !
Due to the Coronavirus there was no water on the course which is understandable. However, , there was no provisions fir any kind of beverage
Nice layout
Course was in good shape for the time of year. Bunkers need sand
Average course in dfw.
Lay out is nice. Challenging holes and lots of holes to make you think. Conditions not as good as its sister course the west but none the less nice track. Took 4.5 hours to complete the round with lots of impatient players bot behind and in front of us. Could have used a Marshall to atleast give everyone an excuse for the slow play but there was no one the entire round. Beverage cart came around to help with the play so that was fine.
Traps
Need sand...mone in there now. Lots of pebbles too.
West Course
Was in great condition given the fact that it’s been raining for 2 days. Pace of play was great for a Saturday morning. Overall a great round for $65.
Greens and bunkers a mess
Rocky bunkers were completely unplayable. Took one practice swing and had hidden rocks mark my iron, pebbles and rocks the size of nickels and quarters. Greens looked like they hadn’t been cared for a long time. Rough look for a club I usually love.
Good course, needs a little updating
Really enjoy Bear Creek, both east and west courses and have played many times. I really like playing their scramble tournaments which they host often. The course and club house are older and could use a refresher but the staff is very friendly and accommodating. They recently added GPS which is a great plus however their golf cars are really old and in terrible shape overall. Have had to return and replace or call for replacement out in course multiple times which is a pain in the middle of a round. The greens are consistent and in good shape.
Overall, due to value and friendly atmosphere I will continue to play this course and would recommend to others to check out Bear Creek.
Much improved
In 2004 I played the course several times a month, Today I was very pleased with the improvements that have been made.
Amazing layout and fun course
Greens were well kept and the fairways were green even during the winters. It was fun playing the course. Loved it.
