Bear Creek
Great value. Nice coarse. Would play again at regular price
Course play
Loved the course. Took a lot of rain and did not drain well. Course was pure mud. Pace of play was horrendous and staff did not even address the issue. Played the 18 holes in just under 6 hours. Very disappointed in the staff not addressing the pace of play issue
Great place to work short game
This course is very hilly and definitely about placing shots strategically. Many holes it is better to not use a driver so that you have a much better lie into the green. As a lady golfer I enjoyed this course because it did challenge the short game. If you are a golfer who is more about long shots off the tee, this course may not be for you. There are many blind shots so I definitely look forward to playing this course again.
Nice course - tough from the tips
Great deal and a good course to play while vacationing at the ozarks
very slow play
Went there for the first time. They had a women's tournament going on during my round. Very slow play. Why let golfers in when there is a tourney going on?
The course was very wet with the recent rain. Greens in decent shape, fairways decent and tee boxes was average.
Would like to go back when the course is dried out. Staff was friendly. Parking was ridiculous. No spots had to wait 10 to 15 miss just to park.
Diverse course
I do like this course. However upon my play after two hours and 45 minutes I was only on whole seven. Needless to say I was unable to finish the course at that rate of play. Course is well taken care of very diverse and fun.it was just the wrong day I suppose. I will definitely play again. Enjoy golf now and think that they do a great job and I'm happy that I get the opportunity for some discount golf.
Good experience.
Due to recent rain, course was "cart paths only". This is a little challenging with all of the hills. Weather was steamy - you don't get much breeze on some of the lower elevation holes.
Several blind tee shots from the longer tees. Challenging, but rewarding when you hit a decent tee shot.
Greens were in good shape and consistent.
GolfNow was a great value - $48 for two golfers.
1st time experience
The greens were in great shape and the rest of the course was in good shape. Not crowded for a Sunday morning and pace of play was good.
From tee #2 The course had some quirks with blind tee shots and less than driver holes but overall an interesting course layout and tough greens.
excellent value
Good track, lots of elevation change, quick greens. In good condition, one hole under construction staff was very cordial. Will play again!
Great greens
Nice people with a great course. Greens are smooth and fast.
Great condition
I played this course 2 days in a row, the golfnow price was great, other than one hole undergoing construction it was in great shape on day 2 warmer weather the pace of play got so slow that I quit at 15 tee as there were 3 group's waiting but the course, food and staff were excellent.
Bear Creek Valley, Osage Beach, MO
Course was best one we played while there for long golfing weekend. Great shape. A little challenging for the average golfer. A lot of uphill, downhill, side hill lies. Some water, really only comes into play on very first hole.
Great fun.
What a great course! It has a wonderful mix of holes with varying degrees of difficulty. Overall a great round of golf. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for fun with a challenge.
Great course
What a great course! Not just the same boring hole after another.
scenic
loved all the trees and beautiful views. had rained for a few days before our round.. course was a bit mushy and muddy in parts ...
Challenging Course - Excellent Condition
Challenging course. Play a few times and learn the landing areas. Maintenance staff did a great job.
A favorite course to play
Try to play this course every time we come to The Lake of the Ozarks. Some holes are challenging but not so much that they frustrate you. I find myself trying to find a better strategy to play those holes every time I visit the course. It is a "must try" if you have not played this course. You will keep coming back!
Challenging and fun!
My wife and I had a great time, conditions were perfect and the course was in awesome shape. Bear Creek is a nice challenge, slope and elevation changes make it somewhat difficult, but it is player friendly at the same time. And the views are outstanding. Congratulations to all the staff, you do a great job! Thank you
