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.

stay in the fairway

open after reseeding less than a week. greens are cut but still slow and inconsistent. The rough is thick and spongy. Lies in the rough can be up on top or down in holes. Played front nine in 1:45 and then 3 hours on the back. it was cart path only. There was a ranger but failed to keep the back moving.. Waiting on most shots so could not get any rhythm going.

Too pricy

This course is too pricy for what you're getting. With how much they're charging you'd think you're playing a Troon course. Old worn-out range balls, old cart with gas engine and broken seats. The Staff is super nice and friendly. The course itself is in a ok condition, Greens are iffy at times, Bunkers lack sand. All in all this place is over priced.

Great Condition

Course is in very nice condition after overseed. It's cart path only so we walked. New signage has been added to the course and it looks great!

Monsoon rain grows the bear

This course has always been a fall back option for me, but this summer the storms have grown the turf and the result has been a welcome change. Slightly errant shots are now less likely to be lost, and the greens are more receptive. Not sure what they are doing to hole 5 and the tee area of hole 6, but I hope they finish soon.

Bear Ceeek

Course was in good shape, we played at a good pace. The staff was great with the exception of the on-course marshall…not the friendliest guy around. Overall, it was an enjoyable round.

Fun, but needs work.

Had a good round in the heat. They didn’t keep ice in the coolers, greens had been aerated recently( which I understand). Club house food took almost an hour for a BLT. The landscape around the course is not very pleasing to the eye.
