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.

Bunkers very uneven. Many greenside had less than 1 inch sand before hitting concrete liner. Most fairway bunkers had too much sand.
Course and weather great
Greens running fast and true.
Course in very good shape.
Cart girl came around 3 times.
Start time 11:56 and finished by 4:10 and that was on a crowded Sunday.
Good golf with good guys
I tend to make single player tee times and occasionally get paired with ……. Well this round I was paired with 2 great guys… both singles… and we had similar games. It was cold as a miners keester and a howling wind… but otherwise a good round (I SHOT 80) with great company. Can’t ask for more.
Tight fairways, quick greens
The course was in excellent shape for late November. Fairways were gorgeous! Very narrow course, not a whole lot of room for error. Had a couple tough holes. I’m a 3.9 hcp and carded an 85. A lot of that was knowing where to miss and I missed a lot lol.
Always Enjoy
This is a tough course that I always enjoy playing. One thing that stood out to me was how super clean the course restrooms were. I point this out, because at most golf courses the restrooms are an afterthought. Great job Bear Creek.
Sunday late tee time
Everything was great except it would have been nice to have seen a marshal on the course every now and then. Our group of 4 played at a good clip to try and get as many rounds as possible before dark. We had no golfers behind having to wait. However, there was a group that was behind us that jumped ahead to the hole in front of us. This caused us to delay our play by having to wait for them! Not good when trying to hurry our play to beat darkness. A marshal would have helped in this situation.
Nice course but slow slow play
I really enjoyed the layout, the condition of the course, although the greens need some TLC they were playable. Bunkers were mostly in good shape. Cart GPS while lacking in flashy UI, it was accurate most of the time.
Good Experience but tight
Overall enjoyed the round. But the 1st 6-7 holes are really tight where hitting a decent shot gets you into trouble. Greens were crazy fast and hole placements on some were "cruel" (term heard a bunch in our 4some).
Clubhouse and amenities are top notch. Carts however were a bit of a disappointment. Distance to green was displayed crudely on steuring column, but no monitor showing hole happing.
Fantastic Customer Service
1st timer! The Manager taking care of the pro shop made me feel right at home ❤️🔥🫡🏆
