Bear Creek Golf Club - East Course

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1st timer! The Manager taking care of the pro shop made me feel right at home ❤️‍🔥🫡🏆

This east course in my opinion has great layout and vistas of the holes that leaving you want to play over and over. Tip of my cap to the grounds crew for having tee to green on point. Greens were true and speed set to respect but not frustrate. Will be playing again before winter is in full swing

Enjoyed an afternoon twilight round. Shoutout to Drew in the pro shop for being extra accommodating and courteous. A few areas around the green were a bit overwatered and muddy, otherwise great course conditions. Will be back!

I always have a good time at Bear Creek playing either course. Beautiful scenery and great conditions. Only downside was dirt on the greens from ants I guess. Greens were in good condition and fast but whatever caused the little clumps of dirt challenged true putting. Other than that it was a good day.

Played the East course, which was in great shape. Greens were quick and true. Clubhouse staff wasn't the friendliest, but the starter was. As this was my first time here, he explained the layout and all the quirks. Pace was great. Finished right around 4 hours. Can't wait to come back to play the West course.
