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.

The greens and fairways were good. The rough and dirt areas were overgrown with weeds so much, you could not find ann errant ball.

I would not recommend this course.

The rates are too high for this kind of course. They start to hound you about pace of play, even when you are only about, as they say, 8 minutes behind at the halfway point.

On the plus side, the greens and fairways were in decent condition. Needs some actual sand in the bunkers.

Enjoyable round.

Nice fair desert course with generous fairways.

Good value. Came out for our annual golf trip to valley and we are playing some new courses because green fees are crazy high at our regular cours

First time playing the course and we'll be back.
