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.

Perfect Day -- Great Course

My wife, Jeri and I played Bear Creek Championship on Thursday, November 21, 2024. We had an early tee time (just before 9:am) but arrived at the course 45 minutes early. The staff told us they had a very large group playing at roughly the same time and asked if we could go out a little early. YES was our response and we played a GREAT 18 holes in just under 4 hours.

The course was in great condition. The fairways were lush, the greens not overly fast, but got faster as the day warmed up.. We were put with a twosome from the area and they helped us with hints on how to play many of the holes We had a wonderful round.

Great outing

This course is in great shape t to green, my only complaint is that the layout gets a little repetitive.

Forgiving course

My first time playing this course. I’m a 14 HC and found the layout quite forgiving. I did not lose a single ball. If you miss the fairway you will find your ball but will be hitting from desert. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. It was carts 90 degrees but still finished in 4 hours. Not a scenic course but the staff were very friendly and I will play it again sometime.

Great course

The course is in awesome shape from the boxes to fairways to bunkers to greens. Layout will seem a little repetitive but overall, fun to play
