Bear Creek Valley Golf Club

Staff was awesome as they allowed us some flexibility of our tee time. This allowed us to finish our lunch at the bar/restaurant facility with our wives. Course was extremely quiet for a Tues afternoon start and made the round relaxed. Weather for this time of year was sticky but the water coolers had the best cold water available. Course from tee to green was well maintained and offered many great shot opportunities over the 18.

Course is on top of the list Lake of the Ozarks venue.

Never played before and was impressed with the course. Interesting layout with tight fairways and a lot of elevation changes. Have to really think about where you are placing your shots which makes for a fun round. Pace of play was great for a Saturday afternoon. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all very well manicured. I expected at least a few dead spots or areas in need of repair on a public course but they were tough to find. Main complaint would be for a course of this level of difficulty not being able to hit woods on the range is a huge disadvantage "for me at least" if you want to score well. Would not play again unless the practice range is improved.

Course was in immaculate shape. Guy behind counter was extremely nice. Went in the afternoon and was no one else out there. Challenging course with a lot of risk/reward. Would highly recommend to anyone. Lesser players might want to bring extra balls!

In good to excellent shape pace of play was good too

Played two days and both were good to me. Thought the water would be a problem but not really. Very pretty course.

Course was nice we enjoyed the scenic elevation changes.Course was in overall good condition

Course beautiful and very fun to play. Cannot complain about the fairways or greens. Somewhat short, but narrow and challenging. Loved the elevation changes. However, no beverage cart ever came around and the snack shack at number 10 was closed at 3:30 when we made the turn. There was water coolers periodically, but we were miserable without drinks in the cart. So I would recommend purchasing food and drinks prior to tee off.

Had a very nice round on the 4th of July. Enjoyed the course and the lunch included was definitely a bonus. Nice of the staff to include a lunch. Highly recommend the course as it is challenging but still fair for the average golfer.

I'm a 20 handicap and had difficulty with the front nine from holes 4-9 mostly because it slope. Shot 50 on front and 46 on back. It's certainly a challenge but the layout is prestige and plays mostly fair.
Will be more aware of hazards next time.

Course was great but no beverage cart on back nine and snack shop was closed on a 90 degree day. ;-(. When we got in after 18 bar was closed by 6:45.

Excellent conditions, surroundings, and ambience...will definitely play it again!

Course is always in fantastic conditions, greens are nice and play very quick. Fairways are plush, very soggy with the rain, only knock is a few of the back tee boxes are thin and with this rain very squishy. Overall a very nice and fun course.

This is one of my favorite courses at the Lake of the Ozarks. It is not easy, but the course is always in excellent condition. The hills on the course make it scenic but difficult to manage. The greens are usually fast, but they are reachable.

The course was very beautiful!
Greens were fast and smooth.
Didn't have a beverage cart on the course
Greens could use some water, couldn't get an iron to stick.

This course was such a pleasant surprise! Tucked right in close behind Lowes and the heart of Osage Beach I thought to myself it would be a tight and stressed for open space golf course. How wrong was I ....this course is everything I love about a golf course. Very nice and friendly staff , tons of elevation changes and a great unique layout. Also on the back side of the course they have a very nice shop with restrooms and food and beer.

Enjoyed the scenery. The greens were quick due to the staff having rolled them. The rough is not intimidating at all. Would go back. Only recc i have for the course is to have a marshall on staff for weekend and busy play. Having a 5 some play a sramble at high noon on a Sunday is not cool.

Challenging and good course for the money. Greens in great shape.
