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.

Greens are important

Greens were rough. Water them more than the rough. You’re tee boxes need a little leveling work but fairways were great and course set up is great. Water stations were well placed and very helpful.

Give this place a month or two

Greens are struggling, very bumpy, to the point where putts inside 10 feet are unmakeable

One of my favorite layouts but your money’s much better spent on the West course for a little while

Not bad for a sunday

Crowded but not to slow! Pretty good condition for this time of year. Sand traps need real sand in them. All and all a good day at the course. Better than being at work!

Not in good shape

Course is not in best shape, greens are bald and bumpy , fairways are hard tee boxes are ok. Pace of play as usual sucks. Need to play this course like 10 times before you know HOW to play it too many blind tee shots and dumb holes you have to hit a 7 iron of the tee so it doesn’t run into a creek just a weird course layout I have never liked it here and the conditions are sub par right now

Great layout

A great layout that has subtle elevation changes and challenging shots. The greens roll better than they look but are very firm. Fairways rolling well but at times a bit firm as well. A very pure golf layout with lots of challenges at every turn! Worth the money if you’re in the area. Learn to leave the driver in the bag if you’re wanting to score well here.

Great shape for winter golf

The course was still drying out from heavy rains earlier in the week and most of the traps were washed out. That part was great because you could pull your ball for free drop; ground under repair. The fair ways and greens were well maintained. Marshall’s and beverage carts made frequent rounds.

Greatest Course

The course was one of the best I have ever played. I will definitely play it again. The golf cart was terrible. We barely made it through our round.

5 1/2 hr day.

How can you expect to get any repeat business when it's a 5 1/2 hr day. Saturday morning at 9:00 am. The Marshall showed up on hole 18 and was only interested in the tourney ....behind us. The layout is very good. The greens were in very good shape but I'd rather drive an hour, play 18 in 4 hrs and head home.

No thanks on the replay. We'll go somewhere else.

Packed, terrible pace

Two and a half hours to play 7 hours. Two group wait at each tee box. Construction on at least a third of the holes hindering play. We used to play this course a lot. Now over crowded and not worth 80 bucks (two golfers) for a round. Won’t be returning any time soon.

First time will be back!

Played west and was great! Bring your putting game. Only complaint was the carts, had issues and died on me on the last hole... but they came to rescue quickly! Need new carts.
