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.

Monday fun day

BC is a fine course in need of some water , both on fairways and greens . Still a bit spendy for June in the heat . This next comment is for all courses . PLEASE put water to drink back on the courses . It’s too hot not to have water available . Starter and pro shop ppl were nice . Cart girl was too but the bartender was a bit surly . Just a reminder this is the hospitality biz . Hearing they will be aerating in July . I’ll be back after .

Great course

Bear Creek is a great course. Just we had two members playing in front of us that had no golf etiquette had six holes free in front of them and would not let us pass..

Two old guys who still think they are going to make the PGA.

Great shape, average layout

I was met in pro shop by very nice/ knowledgeable woman….. the course from tee to greens was in very nice shape. Off the fairways, the course is just dirt. Marshal not very friendly. No real views or atmosphere around the course. I would recommend it once prices go down.

Great Course

We have played here many times over the last few winter seasons. Great low season rates. Excellent practice facility although the bunker has been too wet the last couple of times to use. Some of the golf carts need a tune up but they are much better than the ones they had prior to this year. Good number of people don’t know golf etiquette like not driving on par 3’s, don’t hit into group ahead, keep up pace of play, parking cart in wrong place when on green thus slowing down play. We tip $5 upon arrival at bag drop and the workers are keen to help however they aren’t as eager upon our return after the game to remove the bags from cart and carry them to pickup area. Maybe we need to split the tip to get that service?

Windy weather
Used cart

Very windy day so it made the round a little tough. In AZ not used to 20MPH winds

Seemed like many beginning golfers out there since many balls from other holes had balls in our fairway.

Pace of play was horrible

For playing at 1:30 and no starter or no Marshal visible on course, pace of play was horrible. When the group 4 ahead of you has gotten 4 holes behind the group in front of them, something or someone needs to address them and either push them up a hole or two. Hitting and then waiting on each and every shot for the last 16 holes made for a 4:50 round of golf that was brutal. 2 guys who worked at the course playing behind us couldn’t believe that nothing was done.

Ridiculous pin placements

The greens are in nice shape and putt fairly quick, but in all my years I have never seen more ridiculous pin placements on 13 of the 18 holes. I found out after the round that the person who set the pins isn’t a golfer and this was his first time setting pins. It turned what should’ve been a fun family outing into an extremely frustrating event. It is unfortunate to pay good money for that kind of aggravation. The pro shop apologized but there was no remedy provided. No free round or discount for the next time.
