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.

Strong Start

Great course conditions! We had a noon tee time. Pace started good, but came to a halt on the back. (We were warned by the starter that the never could recover from a slow group in the morning—so we were notified.) Front took 1:45, but back took 2:45!!!

Practice area is large—which was needed because it was a busy day! Plenty of room at driving range; large putting area and chipping green.

For first-timers coming out—don’t expect any desert vistas. There are no scenic views from the course. It is surrounded by train tracks to the West; Chandler Heights Rd to the North; a canal and some shacks to the East.

Always Solid

Expectations are key. This is not a high-end, Scottsdale resort course. I wouldn’t expect the red carpet treatment, though I have always been treated fine and I’ve played here well over 100 times over the past 20 years. What you do get is way better than average conditions, a fun layout that is as challenging as you want it to be, depending on the tees you choose, and a round usually about 4-4.5 hours. I’ve played everywhere in the East Valley and keep coming back here for a reason.

One of my favorite course. Like most Az courses it's very dry on the edges but you ve hit a bad shot if you ate there. Tees fairways and greens are as good as it gets . Rough is dormant bermuda which I still haven't figured out how to chip from. Pace was barely over 4 hrs. Got paired with Gene, Mark and Bill who were great guys to play with. Anything under $100 is worth it. Will definitely be back

Ok For the Money

Got a descent deal and paid $70. The good - GREENS were very nice, rolled true and consistent. The bad - very boring track, no real memorable holes, lots of “wet” and “mud” balls, dormant grass not consistent. Lastly, GAS CARTS - geez people, it’s 2025, build a cart shed and go electric.
