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.

Favored the Men's Club over higher paying guests

We were the 2nd group off in the morning (6:27 a.m.) and played at an acceptable pace until the 14th hole, where there was a back-up (3 groups) because the Course let the Men's Club tee off on the back nine. I'm sure we paid more to pay than the Men's Club members, but they obviously are more important to the Course Management.

Good

The course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play was ok as well just a little bit of waiting. The cost is what you would expect for this time of the year.

nice municipal complex

the bear course is a decent layout but as a municipal facility could always use more maintenance off the fairways.

I’d play this course EIGHT days a week. Our group really thought this course was very very good. Rewarding for good shots and didn’t penalize you for bad shots to often. The 18th hole was phenomenal!!

Good value

Good course, allows you to be a bit wayward without being in the bush, in rocks or time searching. Helps with busy course pace of play.

Fun course but need better and more golf carts

Love the course and staff. Golf carts were a challenge. Felt extremely lucky to get in 18 holes without breaking down. Spend some money and get some better golf carts. Also they need more. Had to tee off late because we had to wait on carts to limp in!

Overbooked

We had a 11:33 tee time and didn’t get off until after noon and had to wait on every shot resulting in us leaving at the turn to catch our flight.

The course appeared to be overbooked.
