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.

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.

Bear Creek Championship course

After 4:45 minutes , the speed of the course was so slow and Marshall did not keep 4-somes moving along . I was not able to complete 18 holes because Marshall’s aloud players to search for too long for lost golf balls or were permitted to hit multiple balls on each hole. The speed of the game needs to be kept.

Bear Creek

This course is a busy, over booked, with 2.5 hour for 9 holes, or 5 hour, 18 hole rounds, type of course. Course loc. in the middle of large suburb, and is well run. Driving range, putting greens, and chipping greens, are nice, if you can get on them, as it appears a lot of the locals use them regularly, for practice only. Rates are high, not for quality, but because of high demand, due to few courses in area. Wont be back.

Fun course but pace of play was slow

Bear Creek is in great condition and is a fun layout. Great mix of holes and the greens were very good.

At 5 hours plus, pace of play wasn't the best but it was a nice day and we enjoyed it.
