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.

Sad state of affairs

I lived in DFW for 37 years and played Bear Creek east and west so many times. I have never seen it in this condition. Admittedly it is early spring and the fairways have not sprouted completely but other aspects like tee boxes, bunkers have not been worked on at all. And then there is the greens. Covered with large infestation of Poanna grass which makes them almost unplayable. If there is a next time, I will be calling ahead to get an honest assessment of green conditions. Nice staff and always a good layout but needs a lot of work.

Nice Layout Challenging Course

Played the East course and really liked the character of the course. Elevation changes, doglegs, undulating greens. The conditions were not great, lots of little star weeds on the greens and some tee boxes so hard couldn’t get a tee in. Overall I had a good round played just over 4 hours and only lost a few balls.

Bad Greens

I golfed at Bear Creek East today. The staff and carts were good. The practice green had been punched but not sanded so it was completely unusable. There were several bare patches on many of the greens and weeds so thick the ball couldn’t travel straight on several greens.

With the condition of the bare patches and weeds there was no consistency from green to green either. I realize this is early March and the green cannot be as good as later in the year but I am comparingw these greens to other I have played recently. Twin Creeks in Allen is considerably better.

I will not be back.

Concrete Bunkers

Course condition was very average even for this time of year. The bunkers were the absolute worst. I went in a few and they were all the same... literal concrete where your club just bounces. It doesnt take a lot to turn the sand and loosen it once a week.

Expensive for the condition

I have played a few courses in Dallas, and the greens were very bumpy and the bunkers were unplayable!! Concrete is softer than the bunkers. And for $85 was more than disappointing.

Very good course

Played in February after a few days of profuse rain. The course was in very good condition, the greens very well kept. We played in less than 4 hours, and the amenities were nice with decent food. Very good value for money, and it's open on Mondays!!!
