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.

Slow Play and no effective rangers.

First a frost delay, then no food without a lengthy wait and then SLOW PLAY. Two guys that could barely walk refused to drive the golf cart onto the fairways, presumably so they could get some exercise. Needless to say, our 4-some waited on every shot while the two clowns and their walking buddy did their slow thing. Never again.

Good for a change of pace!

First time playing course in about 10 years. While the staff was very friendly and overall the course was in good shape the layout was not very imaginative. Lots of dirt lining the fairways of this very flat course. Like I said good for a change of pace or to work on part of your game

Okay but...

Course needs some bathrooms or outhouse facilities. There are 2 stations on the course and they intersect with multiple holes each. They were very busy and lining up to use one would lead to a delay on your next tee off.

Well worth it

Everything was great in regard to the course with the exception of the sand traps. There was little sand and they were as hard as rocks. Even with this issue we were pleased with our round.

The ranger was very active and did a great job. I think his name was Ken.

We will play again.

Disappointed

Dropped my clubs off to Danny. He was very nice and helpful. But the gentleman at the check in desk was rather rude. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day but his customer service skills were terrible! For the over priced round of golf at an average track I would at least expect a friendlier staff. There are far better golf options in the valley for my money.
