About

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.

Horrible condition!

Reminding myself once again to never play this course. Unbelievable bad shape. Fairways 50 percent browned out. The greens were the worst, bumpy and rolling horribly. So many better choices in the east valley.

Course Conditions

Greens where ok, with ok speed. Tee boxes where in ok condition. Fairways where spotty with lots of dead spots & hard pan. Sand Traps where in good shape. I probably won't play again until it gets in better shape which could be a while as Summer time is coming. This course is drying out & fast!! With some TLC this course could be really nice.

It's OK in transition

course was mowed down in this transition season when the bermuda grass starts to become green. Balls off fairway roll out into waste area; mostly tight lies. Greens were somewhat slow and a little bumpy. All in all it was OK. Staff was friendly. A little overpriced for the condition.
