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.

The course policy prevented us from getting fair refund amount due to lightening stoppage and caused us to lose money on our round. The staff was not courteous at all and saw multiple customers getting very frustrated due to loss of money on their rounds because of play stoppage due to lightning. Not a happy customer!!

Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We are always willing to offer a rain check and I'm surprised our Golf Shop Staff wouldn't have done so. Please feel free to contact us directly and we'll be happy to further understand your challenges.

Thank you,

Bear Creek Management

Hey, you're playing golf!

Course was in great shape and other than having to wait on almost every tee box, it was a nice day!

Good course to play, I would play again

Greens are fast and stick..

Its target golf but has enough room for error and to really drive the ball.

It is the hot season so getting on was easy but don't mess around.. hydrate and sun block..

Amazing Greens

I would venture to say that the greens on the bear course rolled the best of any course I've played in this price range. I would very much play there again.

The course was in pretty good condition for this time of year. Greens were excellent, putted well, good speed, smooth. Some areas of the fairways and green surrounds were wet, I assume from watering to reestablish the bermuda grass, but still playable. We enjoyed the day.
