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.

Great course

45 minute frost delay and with a scheduled tee time at 140 we weren’t sure if we would get done before dark. The staff moved golfers to the front nine again to speed things up and we were able to finish. Challenging and beautiful course.

Chuck and i

Course in good shape with fairways green and the greens fast and impossible to putt. Course too expensive for the quality of the course. Taking advantage of snow birds.

Great Value Forgiving Course Layout

2:15 pm Hot Deal made this course a super value (got 17 holes in before dark).

Come early and take advantage of the fabulous practice facilities including hitting of real turf.

Fairways were generous and in great shape. Greens were decent and would have been very good if more golfers showed some courtesy and repaired their ball marks.

Really enjoyed the course and the friendly staff made for a good vibe!

Excellent Golf Course

The course was in excellent shape. The greens were fast, and the fairways were beautiful. However, the sand traps need a little more sand. Overall, it was a great experience. The staff is super friendly, and the Ranger was pushing foursomes through on time.

Starter was a total waste of life

Course was great, but the starting Marshall was a total d bag. Wish I remembered his name, but if anyone sees a white mustache starter, tell him I said eat a fat one.
