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 Championship course

The course was in excellent shape and the fairways were fantastic. Hopefully the overseed will be good because of the course conditions now.

Not too bad for the money

Nice fairways and greens. Fair setup except for a couple of blind tee shots. Excellent practice facility. Lots of work going on the course but should be completed soon.

A gem in Chandler

My friend and I have gone there about 6 times in the last month. We have really enjoyed the course. Plenty of different designed holes. It's in good condition generally speaking. They have been updating the sprinkler system and it still has been very playable.

Good course but can improve

Course was in good shape, however, whoever is mowing the greens needs some more training. There were multiple greens with spots cut down to the dirt and multiple gouges in the green. Green #14 had a 1/2 inch tall gouge right near the pin. Rangers were out early but nowhere to be seen on the back 9 and the group ahead of us had 2 holes open in front of them.

Decent course and shape

Fairly flat. No big elevation changes. Greens flat but many breaks that aren't seen. Rough thick and pretty plush. Greens medium speed.
