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.

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

Horrible Pace/No ranger/marshal

First time playing the course . I liked the layout of the overall course. During my 5+hr round there was not one marshal/ranger/employee to step up pace of play. The group in front must of played hear before they hade a football and were tossing it around waiting to tee off and seen another group ahead of us group of 8 YES I said 8 people teeing off and on the putting greens the same time like seriously what a joke @ that point.

No Early Tee Off

I know Hot Deals are for a specific tee time but really? Our tee time was 1:24 and we arrived early as I noticed on the app that several tee times were available. Asked the pro shop if it would make sense if we teed off early since there was no one teeing off for about 3/4 hour. They said no. OK. Drove up to starter about 15 minutes early (no one was in line) and he said he had strict instructions to not let us go until 1:24 exactly. So we sat while no one else teed off.

Enjoyed the course but that interaction left a bad taste. The rough was desert rough while the fairways and greens were in nice shape.
