I always try to play at Bear Creek when I'm at The Lake of the Ozarks. It is one of my favorite courses great layout and conditions. I booked my tee time on golf now and it was quick and easy. Thanks

Great track

This course has plenty of great holes. The course was in its best shape I’ve ever seen. They are taking good care of their course and their customers. We love this place. Greens were lush and true. A little on the slow side on the day we played but they held the shots well. Fairways were like carpet, a perfect lie almost every time.

Large groups allowed to play

They allow groups of 5 to go out on this course so the pace of play is very slow. We played on a Saturday morning with several groups of 5 in front of us. When we saw this we mentioned it to the check in staff and they said they always do that and it is ok, they play fast. They did not.

Fun course in great condition

Really enjoyed playing this course. First hole is a bit daunting with a pretty long carry over water. Condition of the course and especially the greens were great! The restaurant there serves great food!

Very Nice Course

Great course lots of fun! Difficult course to play but makes the game even more fun and competitive with friends. Greens and fairways are very good condition and just an overall great place. Wish it was a little bit cheaper cause a young kid wanting to play that don’t have a lot of money Is hard to do paying that much but just going every once in a while is fun.

Greens were like shaggy carpet

We used to love coming to play here it's a challenging course and used to have fast and true greens. The greens were very very slow and not the same as they have been before so wasn't as enjoyable. The course seemed to be in good shape tho and the friends we brought hadn't played it before and they liked it. May try again in the fall.

Awesome Greens

The course is really beautiful yet challenging with lots of blind shots and in level lies. The greens are immaculate and roll very true. Would love to play here again!

Course was in great shape. Greens were exceptionally nice with little to no damage and ball marks repaired easily. For a place that has not seen much rain "very good shape"
