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.

Better ways to spend your money
Not a bad course. Not nearly worth the price they charge. A lot of dirt spots in the fairway and not really any scenic views besides 18. Not bad, but if you’re gonna spend the money to play a premier course, there’s a lot better out there.
