The Bear Course is one of two courses at the Bear Creek Golf Complex; it is a championship-length course while the other, the Cub Course, is an executive length course. The Bear Course is an inland, links-style course with rolling fairways and well-manicured greens. Strategically placed bunkers situated throughout the course add some challenge to the course. A round of golf on this course can be played in less than four hours. The Bear Creek Golf Complex, in addition to the two courses, also offers a full grass driving range, two putting greens, and a short game area with a bunker.

Forgiving course
My first time playing this course. I’m a 14 HC and found the layout quite forgiving. I did not lose a single ball. If you miss the fairway you will find your ball but will be hitting from desert. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. It was carts 90 degrees but still finished in 4 hours. Not a scenic course but the staff were very friendly and I will play it again sometime.

Course conditions solid. Pace of play and staff poor.
Supposed to play 18, left after 9 holes. Near 3 hours for 9 holes, 10 minute wait on every tee box and it wasn't even cart path only. Ranger had the gal to tell us "be ready to hit" as if we were the issue. Beer cart girl left the course at 3:30 despite a packed course on a Saturday. Poorly run on a Saturday at a course in pretty good shape.
