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.

Great links style course

This is a links style course with very few trees and wide open. Off the first cut of fairway and you are in a hard packed dirt lie. Course was in great condition ... tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Comprehensive practice area with range, chipping green (with bunker) and putting green. Will definitely be back.

Average At Best

Have played this course many times. Just not that great for the price. Kind of a goat track. Probably will not play again - too expensive for the value.

Don't Go!

Every bad review I read about this place is true. Starter and Marshall were complete jerks. Balls fighting everywhere, my cart got hit on a par 3, the couple I was paired up with almost got hit in the tee box. Marshall's more worried about yelling at people about where they drive their cart than people hitting into people. Save your money, don't go!!!

Good day

I’ve played here many times and the course is in as good a shape as I can remember. Played in 3:40 and that was with the slowest cart ever!
