Fun and challenging course

This is not a course you want to walk. Elevation changes and some very fun holes. Amenities were great and so was the staff.

Starter not friendly

The starter was more interested in getting us finished than letting us enjoy our round. Tried to rush us to the first tee after we had already purchased range balls and Ben though we had more than 20 minutes until our scheduled tee time and was quite rude about it.

Phyllis in the half-way house is awesome

Other than this one person, (the starter) everything about the facility was great.

Green conditions

The only thing that I have to say negative is that people need to use their ballmark repair tool!

The greens were absolutely peppered with ball marks that were unrepaired!

Beautiful course beautiful lay out for the most part very well manicured.

Come on people bend over and fix your Dang ballmarks! If you're good enough to hit the green you should have enough respect for the game and for the golf course to bend over and repair the damage you caused.

A Hidden Gem

Don’t let the strip mall club house scare you off, this is one of the best maintained public courses in Missouri. Layout was fun, course asks a golfer to answer multiple questions with varying skill sets. Not overly challenging but tremendous fun to play.

Fun Course

I returned to Bear Creek because I had remembered the unique elevation changes and blind shots involved on the course. Scenic course, yet close to the main attractions.

The course was in excellent condition. We played on an extremely hot day but there were plenty of water available on the. Challenging, yet fair, includes some unique holes. Certainly not a course one would ever want to walk.

Diamond + 5 Stars

This course was absolutely amazing our food was perfect and the staff was super friendly. The course features so many different elevation changes yet is still played like a traditional country club course. I know that if I would’ve played a course similar to this back home it would’ve cost me three times as much so I got an incredible value. Without question this was the best part of our vacation.
