About

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.

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.

Quiet Round

Great weather. Always a challenge. This time of the year with the 90 degree rule always requires more walking.

Very enjoyable afternoon

This was my first time playing the Bear Course at Bear Creek. Great layout. Course was cart path only due to recent over-seeding. The new grass is in great shape and should soon be ready for carts. Course is challenging. The greens rolled nicely, but a bit slower due to recent over-seeding. The practice facilities are great too. The employees were all extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Bear Creek.
