Great except for the weather

If it hadn’t been cart path because of all the recent rain I’d give it 5 stars across the board. Still one of my favorite courses.

Great Deal

Nice course with great GolfNow bargain rounds. Friendly staff. Great lady at snack shack hole 9 & 10. Owner keeps course good shape. Had green maintenance before this particular round but still played well. Needs bunker work but weather has been difficult until now this year in Missouri.

Tough and beautiful

I have played this course a half dozen times and it amazes me each time I play. Narrow fairways with woods as rough and extremely difficult greens to read make it a Great couples best ball course for those that are shy and timid with tough courses. Beautiful in spring and fall.

Great track

Enjoyed playing this course. Fairways were good, greens were in great shape. Hole 17 was a par 3 all down hill, my favorite so far of the Ozark courses I’ve played. Range was closed for the year.

Lots of elevation difference. Very scenic layout. Extremely fast greens such that some pin locations were unfair. Good value.

I love a course where you pretty much only see the hole you are on. That's the case for most of the holes at Bear Creek Valley. It is cut out of the forest and hills in the lake of the ozarks area. Very scenic. It has elevation changes on almost every hole. bring your thinking cap with you when you play here.
