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.

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.

Best Value this year

Had never played this course before, but I was very impressed. The overseeding made for excellent conditions, the pace of play was good, and the staff was very friendly. It's the first time I've seen Bear Creek on Teeoff, and I hope to see it listed next November when I return to the Valley of the Sun.
