Great value!

Quickly becoming my favorite course at the lake. Great value for the money. Course was in good shape again.

My only complaint is that apparently nobody likes to repair ball marks here. That’s not on the course, however. If you’re good enough to stick one on the green, take the 5 seconds to repair your ball mark.

Done with this place

This course is pretty decent but the staff borders somewhere between neutral and unfriendly. Multiple times I have been there and experienced rude staff and the members are a bunch of shorty old men who won’t even shake your hand when the starter pairs you with them. I’m never going back

Cool course

Bear creek is in great shape right now. Tough course of the tee box with trees lining the fairway but the greens are more forgiving. Never a challenging putt no matter the hole.
