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.

Very good golf course.

My wife and I have played the Cub and Bear many times. Always have a good time. The staff is super. Our cart broke down on #14 and staff had another cart out to us in short time. We only had to let one 4 some play thru. Thats fast. Thanks Scott

Wide open almost no sand traps

I visit your course from Tucson a few times a year. For a mediocre player like me the course is a lot of fun. Only a couple of sand traps. Wide open fairways. No trees. The course was in great condition.

fun little executive course

Had a blast! I got paired up with 3 giggly ladies and we had a ton of fun. They only played 9 holes, so I was able to zip through the last 9. Can't wait to bring my wife here.

Ranger

The ranger was great he went up and put two twosomes together to speed up pace, but as soon as he left they broke up and went back to two twosomes I guess they blamed it on me cuz they were crawling to their golf carts but other than that everything was great staff is really nice okay that's it

Decent short course, but poor signage hole to hole

Enjoyed this course although it is a short one. Was put off more than once by not knowing where to go to nest. Lack of cart paths made hole to hole transition a bit difficult at times.

Signage

Great round Works your irons. Got lost a few times as there is no signage as you are off the cart path most of the time. Need more visuals to move fluid through course. Not wasting time trying to figure out where the next tee box is.

Confusing and unfriendly

Showed up expecting to play bear course but the Marshall moved us over the the cub course after we had already teed off and started down the fairway to take our next shot. He wasn’t nice about it and treated us like garbage. We didn’t even realize there were two courses. Waste of money. Cub Course was not the golf experience we had hoped for. Never golf there again.
