Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course

Walkers should pay less than riders. Locals should pay less than tourists. Locals are the ones that get you through the summer. Need benches at the tee boxes for walkers. Need drinking water on the course . Green fees are over priced in the winter.

Had never played this course before so I wanted to try it. Was overpriced compared to surrounding courses. Cart was old, slow, and dirty. There was chocolate residue, or at least I hope it was chocolate, left in the compartments. Dirtied my phone and speaker. Cart was very slow and damaged. We teed off at 7 am, by 8 it was already very hot. Saw the drink cart once. Fairways were okay. Course itself was very open. Can make recovery shots with good precision. Greens were good. Tee boxes need some work though. A few of the tee box markers were set at an angle than I believe would exceed regulations. I guess they did this because the other areas were already beat up. They have dessert between fairways and in some areas it’s just dirt. BUT you aren’t allowed to cross it with cart, even if it’s 10 feet across. We were yelled at with a microphone about it. Safe to say I will not be making this course a favorite.

For this time of year. with many courses not looking great as they transition to summer, Bear Creek has done a nice job keeping things manicured and green. The fairways are wide and green. The greens are in respectable shape, the sand trails traps are crusty just like every other course. In the valley All in all a great value. I like the wide open links feeling and not worrying about hitting a house or another golfer. Very peaceful day with a decent pace, 3:15 start to finish. I'll be playing here often this summer.

The course was in great shape, the pace of play was ok, not great but it wasn't too bad either. For as busy as the course is every day, the staff here is doing an amazing job with the maintenance of the greens and fairways.

Conditions average. Mostly just an uninspiring course with lots of dirt. Pace of play was decent. Hopefully the valley courses come down off their winter prices, because they’ve definitely stopped their winter course maintenance.

My only complaint was pace of play. The first few holes were fine, but the last 15 holes were a waiting game for every shot. Marshalls should monitor the pace. On a relatively easy to intermediate course, it should not take 5+ hours

First time playing and unfortunately it was not great. Mix-up had me waiting nearly 45 minutes to finally join a group (or the option to a) play alone squeezed between foursomes, or b) join a group making the turn on 10). Very open course with views of several tee boxes and greens, with a lot of bare dirt areas between fairways which on a hot, windy day made for a very uncomfortable round. Got to 14 and saw 3 groups waiting on the par-3 15th tee and decided I'd had enough.

We enjoyed our round. Ranger came out and apologized for slow play (something we detest) but it really had not been slow. We had no problems.
