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.

Bear Creek

Golf course was and is always in great condition. Pace of play is good, saw the ranger 3 times. I actually did a double header, played the Bear and then the Cub course. 75 degrees and sunny 18 was just not enough.

Nice course but not worth the green fees.

The course is nice and the condition of the fairways and green's was great. I just think for $100 a round there are a lot more options out there.

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!
