I'll not play here again.

The course has sloping fairways that take the ball on a lot of holes into the rough or woods. I would not recommend this course. I would not play here again.

Gorgeous Day! No waiting

We did not realize a couple of holes were out of commission or had changed the t boxes, no one warned us a the club house. Still had a fun time, just a little confusing!

Hadn't played this course for 3 or so years --- forgot how tricky it can be.

We were a twosome behind 2 foursomes so we waited every hole but we knew that from the start. Couple of holes were under repair which offers some confusion. Fairways were in great shape but the greens showed some use and still were quick. Failure for players to repair divots on the greens is rude behavior and inconsiderate of other players.
Been awhile since we played this course --- forgot it can be tricky but still enjoyable.

Good $20 round.

GPS would be a nice addition for this course as there are many blind shots. Hole # 10 was being rebuilt so it was closed. No beverage cart and halfway house was after # 12.

Fun course !

This course was fun to play. It's back in the woods so it's nice and quiet. It has a few fun holes with big elevation changes its very hilly. Fairways and tee boxes are nice, but greens need a little work.

Challenging course, in excellent shape

Came back to Bear Creek after swearing it off a couple of years ago because some holes were just too impossible. But they've rebuilt these holes, and they're improving other holes as well. Course was in excellent shape.
While most MO courses offer their share of difficulties because of the hills, Bear Creek is particularly stunning and has no homes along the fairways to impede this beauty. Highly recommend as a great value.

Nice course, great restarant

I play Bear Creek several times a year. It was in good shape. Bunkers had sand rather than rocks like some courses near here.

It was a slow day for the course, so they sent out a bunch of twosomes. Unfortunately, this resulted in us waiting on every hole to play. Would appreciate it if the courses would combine twosomes. It makes things faster.

This course is very well kept.

Course was great but greens just sanded which made putting very hard.

Course in excellent condition

I hadn't played here in over 5 years so thought we'd give it a try while on vacation. Very glad we did - no complaints whatsoever! Fairways were outstanding and rough was cut to a playable height for casual players. There are some interesting holes for sure, and you are often faced with side hill lies even in the fairways so we're challenging to figure out what to do. The staff was very friendly and gave us some tips for playing a couple of holes that have large elevatin changes - right on advice! Truly enjoyed playing Bear Creek Valley and will definitely play here again next time visiting the Lake!

One of my Lake favorites

Excellent course conditions even with the amount of rain & heat that central Missouri has had this summer. Got a good deal on golf now for this course & it's worth every penny. One of my favorite course layouts.
