Bear Creek Golf Complex - Cub Course

I was very happy with the friendly staff. After this it was a bit rough sledding. First off the gas carts appeared to be very old. The cart I had was very sluggish. The fairways were burned out. A lot of dead spots. Several times I had to find a patch of grass to move my ball too. My first time there and it was confusing at times trying to navigate the course. Not very well marked out. The greens and tee boxes were in very good shape. But on the 18th hole on the Cub course there was a ton of goose droppings and some was on the green. I added a picture of what a fairway looked like. Most of them were similar to the picture.

Fairways are dry scrubby grass. Random sprinkler breaks making muddy areas.

There is still a minor water management issue. Not as bad as before. As before, I still think the carts governors needs to be visited. It would make the rounds a little faster..

This ( cub course) was great to play. Even only 3 and 4 pars, I enjoyed playing & getting a round in after last playing golf in October. I was a “single”’ & paired up with two really nice gentlemen., which was good b/c they knew the course. Really no cart paths, so I would not have known how to go to the next t box. I would play it again, as I’m not super competitive about golf. I just want to hit good shots. Perhaps will try the other course next time.

Excellent place to get the rust off your game. Not your typical pitch and putt short course. Played early after a frost delay and scooted around quickly. Definitely recommend for the beginner or skilled player. A little pricey, but everything is more in January.

Great little course to work on short game. Bit dry but was fun round. Staff was great, cart a

lady found us twice in 18 holes

Pricey for what you receive. Most of the staff were cordial but nothing spectacular. Course was in ‘just ok’ shape. Very confusing on the hole to hole layout being that it was my first time here. No directions to the next holes. Almost tees off on the wrong hole twice.

There are better values out there.

The cub course was super for my 11 year old grandson, we really enjoyed our round of golf.

Good short par. Flat. Easy for beginners. Plays fast

TT was mid-day 12/5, Cub course. I have played many times in the past and am a local resident. Much of my family comes down from Canada and the PNW for the winter, and I always recommend this course.. Bear or Cub, no matter. I have come in contact with this individual occasionally, and have always but my tongue so to speak. Many of my golf partners, as well as others have experienced similar issues if not worse than mine.

Even if an employee at a golf course/club lacks the very basic in customer service, and "looks like they are having a bad day", so to speak... it's not good, but never terrible to the point where it can jeopardize an organization's reputation. But I know by far I'm not the only one here, and this individual who goes by "Jimmy", and was the starter that day, has set the new standard of "rude", derogatory", mean, and frankly looks down right miserable. Besides my golf group there were others who also were awaiting tee-off who also said the exact same thing. All were visitors outside the local area.

As I am, like many others, polite and courteous and always forgiving... I again, followed that rule. However, I don't know how Bear Creek, any other Golf Club, or Organization of any kind, can have someone representing them who clearly doesn't want to be there. If "Jimmy" is retired, or volunteering, or maybe even partnered with the club it portrays a horrible look. And, in speaking with other groups on the course, and they (not I) are bringing up "this rude" individual, it' clearly not isolated. You all have a major problem. As everyone does a wonderful job and offers great service, as I've seen for over a decade, he is the complete opposite.

And that's what people remember. I, like a few others we spoke with say they won't return. And that's a shame cause everything else was perfect, including our golf scores. But as a retired Senior MIlitary officer I won't go to a golf course to feel like I am in basic training. I wouldn't think anyone else would either. Thank you so much.

A reasonable layout for and Executive course. Many Par 3s on front 9 however opens up on back. The cub course was ideal for my father who suffers from Alzheimer’s as it provided shorter yardage holes and a pace of play that was suitable to the time required to assist him when required. Price point was reasonable for 18 holes with cart. Not much discount for seniors or AZ resident that we observed. Booked through golf now. Friendly staff. Tee time was early to help accommodate extra time father requires. Would recommend to others who are looking for a course that provides some forgiveness and is not too long yardage wise.

You guys need to raise the governor speed on the carts. What they have them set at is way to slow. It is so slow it slows down your play. Also they need to have the starters and rangers tell the same rules. The starter said we could drive on the outer edge of the fairway then cut over 90 degrees to play our shot. Then a ranger climes all up in our business about doing that. Where are we to drive once the cart path ends? It’s either the outer sides, or the dirt! The carts can’t hover! If you are going to be that strict and harsh I suggest you put in a cart path the entire length of the course.

My Father has Alzheimer’s and golf is one of the few things he still can remember and do quite well with a bit of assistance. Shalimar staff patrons and other players were very understanding to the situation and the course layout was very conducive to any stray shots. Booked through golf now and price was very good. A nice little course.

We are from Canada and hadn’t played this course for two years snd it didn’t disappoint. Look forward to playing again soon
