Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course

This is my second time golfing at Bear Creek. My first time was a few years ago and I can say that the course seemed to be in much better shape than I remembered it. The fairways and greens were in pretty decent shape and the fairways were long and open, which is great for a beginner like myself. My wife and I had a great time here and will return. Also, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The Bear Creek layout has a number of blind tee shots. Some of the shorter Par 4's offer great risk reward options from the tee.

A number of fairways had dead spots and we had to improve our lie in the fairway more then once.

Course was in good command greens putted true.

Fairways had some brown spot but still playable.

Just over 3 hours and finished...

The fairways are in poor shape, it might get really ugly over the summer.

50% grass 50% dirt. It’s flooded with field mice that try to commit suicide. The greens were poor and still punched. This course was the goat of goat ranches

I’ve played here a few times and seen the course in much better shape. Looks like they are transitioning from winter to summer grass and have some work to do. Greens are inconsistent and there are lots of baked mud, hard pan lies in the fairways. The course is usually in much better shape. They do look to be offering special rates right now, so still good value. Just don’t expect to see the course in peak form for a while.

Pace wof play was excellent, course was in very good shapeN. Greens were in good condition and putted well.

We only paid $26 for a Noon tee time on a perfect 88 degree day so we couldn't complain too much. Staff is outstanding as usual, and course was wide open so we played in under three hours. The course is definitely in transition from winter to summer, as most fairways were either dirt or very little grass. Greens were so so as well, tee boxes pretty good. There were maintenance guys working hard on several areas of the course. Unfortunately it seemed just about every fairway had sprinklers on right as we teed off, meaning a fairway hit meant retrieving our ball and moving it. This did get a little frustrating after several holes. Hopefully all the work being put in will pay off in a few months. We'll probably wait about three months before playing here again.

Course was really rough coming off winter season. Prices are high relative to quality of fairways and greens. Can’t believe they charged ~$100 in winter. Course had good distance, but conditions just not worth anything over $40.
