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.

lazy Tuesday

though we had sprinkles to begin with, the sun peeked through just in time. The course layout was explained by the steward. Pace of play was good until the back nine with a foursome snuck in front of us ( apparently after they spent time in the clubhouse) the steward interceded and suddenly, the pace returned to normal.

Poor desert course

Staff was extreely nice . Course did bot live up to billing. Tee boxes like concrete. Lack of sand in traps. Grass on fairway, but 1 foot off fairway….no grass… desert dirt. Greens were extremely hard. Balls would not hold.

Visiting Phoenix

Looking for reasonably priced golf in the Phoenix area during Spring Training can be crazy but this course checked all the boxes. Decent course and price. It was in great shape and played in just under 4 hours. I’ll be back and play it again.

Good Course

One of few courses that give senior discounts, yay! Most of the grass areas are in good condition. Did observe people are filling their divots on the fairways. Some people are driving carts into the desert which is not recommended. Would like to see more concentration on picking up trash, only two bathrooms which need refreshing. No water on the course but there is a beverage cart. Played 18 in 4.5hrs, nice pace. Overall good track!

You’ll be satisfied!

Course is in very good condition. Tees, fairways and greens really nice. Interesting layout with good variety and challenging enough for all levels of play. Really reasonable rates for this time of year.

Good Value

I paid $80 via a Hot Deal and feel the experience was a good value. Greens and fairways in very good shape, especially for the number of rounds played on this course. Staff were very friendly. No complaints on my part

Fairways and greens were good

The course is convenient from the highway. They could use some more carts, as we had to wait for ours. The course was in good shape, fairly narrow fairways as the holes are close to each other.The pace average, we only had to wait on a couple of holes. I would recommend this course, mainly for the fair price-to-quality.

Great course but slow pace on weekends

First time playing here. Shot my best round!! Love the layout and the views at this course are amazing. Only thing that was rough was the pace of play. Most likely due to the weekend so if you have a chance, maybe come here on a Weekday
