Love playing here in the Ozark hills/woods.
The course is very nice despite tough weather conditions this summer.
The greens held and putted true but patrons are not fixing divots. There was little to no evidence of fungus/damage.
Zoysia fairways are friendly and very well manicured.
Tee Boxes are well defined and maintained.
Green side sand traps have course sand, were raked and difficult.
Hole #16 par 3 cart path is being reconstructed for safer access to tees down a steep hill.
Recommend high handicappers play forward due to the challenging layout/sloping fairways or bring lots of balls.
This course does not return to the club house at the turn so a snack hut/restroom is available for beer, hot dog or brawt at hole 10 and 13. There is another restroom at #7/#15.
Pace of play was 4 1/2 hours. Not bad considering a threesome wasn’t fast.

Pace of play
Pace of play was the only issue. We were a twosome so we expect a little slow play but when the foursome ahead of us decides to play more than one ball on various shots, it's a bit ridiculous. Finally, the group asked us if we wanted to play through....on 16. Nearly 5 hours for the round is a bit slow. I think BCV has GPS tracking on all carts, perhaps they can find a way to better manage slow play.

Great except the greens
I have played this course one time previously (I live about 45 mins away) and had a great day that day as well. Staff was great both times, the overall condition was great - especially for the HOT drought we have been having in MID MO. The only thing I wish was better were the greens. The greens were riddled with divets, it looked like not a single person had fixed their divets all summer. Other than that - great course and we will be back.
Thank you for visiting us at Bear Creek Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Hidden Gem
Once you get there you're in paradise. Some quirky things make it a little difficult for first timers such as I was, but it all works out. Even blind tee shots give you a good indication as to where to hit the ball. If you do well, you are rewarded. A must for the avid golfer.

Course was in good condition. Play was somewhat slow, but did move along. Usually, play here when I am the lake area.
