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.

Nice track

Course in nice condition from tee to green. Layout interesting. Very playable course, moderate difficulty but a challenge. Need to be relatively straight or you’re in the desert. Staff great and liked the practice facilities.

Great time at BC!

Friendly and efficient staff in and out of clubhouse

Conditions were great for this time of year, some greens were chewed up with pitch marks but that’s just what happens

Fun track

Bear’s creek was a fun course. Not many hazards. Great course for all levels as there are not many obstacles. I would recommend this course for beginners trying out the sport. Greens were straight, fairways were open., traps in good condition. Loved the course.

Rude Staff

The course was beautiful and well laid out. The staff was absolutely insufferable. They asked me for my receipt on hole 3? They were rude to my child and it’s only his second time on a golf course while we were keeping good pace. Would not recommend if you want a friendly experience. Front desk staff was also rude.

Fun, challenging course

Love this track and was in outstanding shape. Shame they will tear it up next week for overseeding, but it has come out even better the last few years

No thank you

The course has gone down hill. Is to be taken care of and lots of native grass areas. Now it’s just dirt. The fairways are narrow surrounded by dirt. Revamp the course to make it more playable. Stop sending 6 somes out ruining the pace of play. Get some water out on the course your stupid cups from the bar are everywhere. It was embarrassing. I won’t be back.

Revamp the course.

All the waste areas are garbage. The native grass is basically gone so revamp this course. So many narrow blond fairways that if the waste areas were taken care of the course would be much more playable. Or manicure it, the course used to be gorgeous so I could accept the difficulty. Don’t let 6 somes play. It sucks so bad to stand and wait 10 minutes per hole and by the 13 it’s was 20. Garbage management.
