The Bear Creek Golf Complex offers two golf courses, one championship length course and one executive length course, the Cub Course. This sporty course is ideal for beginners and families. Like its sister course, the Bear Course, there are rolling fairways and well-manicured greens that have unique swales and collection areas. The design features five par 4s and the rest are par 3s, all of which vary in length. A round of golf on the Cub Course can be completed in less than three hours. The Bear Creek Golf Complex also boasts several practice facilities including a lighted driving range, two putting greens, and a short game area with a bunker.

Decent exec. Course, but lacking any excitement

The course was in OK shape considering the time of the year, however, the course has no cart path, except for patches of dirt that have huge potholes filled with water. And the ranger will get mad if you are driving on the fairway. If you’re going to play this complex, play the bear course, and find a better executive course somewhere else.

Great pace of play

This course got us in and out in about 2 hours and 35 minutes for the 18 cub course holes. The course was absolutely packed with players but everyone was moving consistently. Pace of play is very important to us as we have been stuck for over 4 hours down the street at Springfield (which is basically the same course). Then you factor in the cost and it all worked out great for us all.

Welcoming Staff

Everyone we met was great. The starter was also from WA State. We talked about the Seattle Seahawks. Course has lots of different distances to test your iron game. Overall, fun day of warm golf.

Nice course

The cub course is a nice round for beginning golfers or seniors with minor mobility issues. Also good for those wanting to practice irons, chipping and putting. The executive course is also very nice to play for experienced golfers. Staff is very friendly. Rate of play was excellent.

Didn’t get to play

Waited for a half hour to get a cart so I could start, ended up getting a cart 10 minutes after I was supposed to tee off. I then drive to the first tee and am told by the starter that I must be escorted by a ranger to the third hole. What? I’m not paying for only 15/18 holes for something that is not my fault. They at least did refund me.
