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.

Bear Creek

Course is nice for sure, but overpriced by 35%. Gouging, due to high use, as the Northeners are down for Winter, and lack of local golf courses, for the numbers of golfers. Have noticed alot more novice golfers this year, which slows down play to 2.5 hours, per 9 holes on many courses in South/East Phoenix area.

Very plain

The front nine is bland

The back nine has more interesting holes

Over all pricy for what you get

Nice course

Was on a 2 hour frost delay,

Got us off 45 minutes late but part way through front nine got rushed along, couldn’t enjoy nearly as much.

Brought us Hot Dogs out to 11 hole bc had run out. Very nice people, will play again, hopefully not the same hurry up golf….

My wife and I like this course. Not super difficult, but good for us. Greens in great shape but can be challenging. Always enjoyable.

Decent course

Was cold and windy the day we played so quite a few balls were going between fairways as there’s not a lot of separation between them. Fairways and greens were in quite good shape. We paid $60 which I thought was fair but wouldn’t really pay much more for this course.
