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.

Good Course, but pricey…

Greens and Fairways were awesome. Pace was good until the last couple holes, men’s club shotgun off the back nine. $100 is a little pricey for this time of year.

Meh

Firstly, my GolfNow booking was not on the Bear Creek tee sheet, though I had both my confirmation number and email. Major fail. I was a single, so getting out was ultimately not an issue, just had to wait 50 minutes. Food in the meantime was so so, but at least the grill was open. As a visitor to the area, had to rent sticks. Over 50 bucks for a mismatched set of Pings (upgrade over $30 for a trash set). Practice facility is nice!

Yardage on the course is not marked except for 150 poles mid fairway. If you aren’t packing a laser or other yardage device, you’re playing blind unless you want to pace off every approach from the buck-fifty. There are a handful of blind shots from the tee, which actually makes the layout interesting. Tees and fairways were in good shape. Greens were puttable but the roll isn’t very true or consistent. The contour and roll of the greens is NOT for the first timer.

There’s better golf to be played in the area. I hope.

Not worth it

At nearly the same cost as other Easy Valley courses this is the lowest bang for the buck. Feels like playing in Rural Texas with no scenery of note, no trees and lots of hard packed dirt everywhere you turn. Narrow fairways and greens are in good shape for the most part but the bunkers are lacking sand. Very unattractive course for the money. Try IronOakes, Ocotillo, or any course in Gilbert and you'll be happier.

Bear championship course

A nice course with challenging visuals off the tee. But if trust your eyes you're just fine. Tees, fairways and greens were green and played well. Rough was brown but played off it just fine. Greens rolled true.
