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.

Nice track

Bear Creek West is a nice track. It is in good shape and the ace of play was great except for one slow foresome but they let me play through in short order.

Slow play. Great conditions, except for bunkers.

check in staff and starter were extremely friendly and helpful. Fairways and greens were perfect. Bunkers are not sand, but some clay dirt mix with a hard base. Chunk and run bunkers shots are about all you can do. As usual at Bear Creek, play was very slow. Four some in front of us were holding up the entire course.

An hour wait for a golf cart

Course was overbooked due to a tournament on Saturday, and had no carts available for daily fee players. Waited an hour for a cart. Then the course was backed up, we waited 20 mins on 1 tee for 4 other foursomes to tee off. Its 100 degrees out, and non of their water stations had water.

Terrible experience. Paid for 18 holes, but left after 9. And, will never go back.

The planes don't bother you

This is a great little course with 2 full length 18-hole courses on them. So the variety is great. The holes here are tricky and are in great shape all year round somehow.

During the last winter, somehow their fairways were bright green.

Very nice. Fun to play

I was told that the greens were aerated about 3 weeks ago. Just starting to come back and was a bit slow. Course layout is nice. I think better than the West course. Great Hot Deal online then when I arrived about an hour before my tee time I was asked if I wanted to go early and was sent out right away. Lots of trees and really, a nice fun course to play. Give it a go. Thumbs up!!!

Nice round on the west side

Bear creek is a tough little course with some blind shots and forced carries. it also had something ive never seen before...a flag that your supposed to raise and lower for blind shots to let the tee box know its safe to hit. interesting idea. ive always seen bells to ring or gps but not a bag idea, if used, which the group in front of us did not. the conditions were really good, but super tight lie fairways in some spots. also a few of the par 3 tee's were beat up pretty bad. the bunkers could use some grooming as they were hard but seemed like enough dirt. had to use a wedge with less bounce to hit well out of them. greens were where this course shined and im a huge greens guy. fast and true from what i saw. got a little faster as the day wore on. really nice design and very pretty hole views. the one thing ill comment on and its not huge just not my preference and its the first time ive seen this in Dallas...gas powered carts? there were a few elevated tees but nothing electric couldn't handle. overall a great round, right at 4 hours with multiple groups in front of us. we saw the ranger 4-5 times, no doubt keeping pace, which was well appreciated. thanks alot bear creek, will be back again.

July 4th Holiday Round

Course is in good condition. Greens could use a little work. This is the second time in a month I've played here and have been behind a 5-Some. We finally had to go around them and skip a hole and there was no one for 4 holes in front of them. No ranger ever came by and the 5-Some had no golf etiquette. They really need to stop with this practice or I may never go back.

Had a great time.

Came in as a single for the first tee time. Matched with a good group of guys and really enjoyed the course. The course was in good condition, the traps were a bit crusty and could use some more sand. Other than that, the course was well groomed and the greens were true.

Confidence builder

If you can keep it in the fairways you will enjoy this course because it is very narrow. Not recommended for a beginner. Several holes had blind shots and since this was my first time to play here I often needed to scout the next shot. Lots of unrepaired divots on tilted fairways and a few greens showed recent repairs but overall the course was lush and soft. This is a beautiful golf course that I for sure will play again.
