Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Very disappointed
This course is very over priced for the conditions of the greens, lack of fairways and tee boxes. Not visually appealing at any point. No GPS in carts. The practice facility was nice but could have used yardage markers to help judge distance to the poles in the driving range. I will not play again unless it is half the cost or free.
Marshals Needed
Course was in decent shape, but they’re in dire need of marshals on the course to keep pace of play reasonable.
Course is rough
First time playing the championship course and I would not rush back. Very large range but somehow very limited range space the day & time we played. Many tees surfaces seem uneven, and beaten up. Seems overpriced for what it is.
Course is difficult to beat, offers much!
Several years ago I played the blue tees and Bear Creek won. Thanks God I remembered the 6,400 yards player super long. Yesterday I played the white tees at just under 6,000 yards and it was plenty with wind gusting at about ~15 mph. The course offers a wide open true championship conditions where the greens were fast, and softer than most, fair and consistent but do offer a golfer a lifetime challenge. The Bear Complex offers driving range, practice putting and chipping. Carts do not have GPS but cart paths, signage, on course refreshments and personal cooler with ice on the cart were all available and in good condition.
Fun day great course and I hope to play it often during my extended stay. Also I plan to try Bear Cub their executive course, it looked awesome and just as challenging!
Play it! It won’t disappoint at under $100 in peak season!
MOTRTIAB!
Great Course
The Staff/Conditions and course are always excellent.
Nice track
Course in nice condition from tee to green. Layout interesting. Very playable course, moderate difficulty but a challenge. Need to be relatively straight or you’re in the desert. Staff great and liked the practice facilities.
Course was in decent shape, but overpriced for the value. Pace of play was an issue on every hole
Not the best not the worst
First time playing here course played well exactly 4 hour round. Was just mid giving it a slightly higher rating because I got a good mid week hot deal but other than that I wouldn’t have pad full price to play here.
Great time at BC!
Friendly and efficient staff in and out of clubhouse
Conditions were great for this time of year, some greens were chewed up with pitch marks but that’s just what happens
Fun track
Bear’s creek was a fun course. Not many hazards. Great course for all levels as there are not many obstacles. I would recommend this course for beginners trying out the sport. Greens were straight, fairways were open., traps in good condition. Loved the course.
Rude Staff
The course was beautiful and well laid out. The staff was absolutely insufferable. They asked me for my receipt on hole 3? They were rude to my child and it’s only his second time on a golf course while we were keeping good pace. Would not recommend if you want a friendly experience. Front desk staff was also rude.
