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.

Course in Transition

Staff always great here. Course is transitioning from winter to summer so conditions not great, but expected for the price. Greens still excellent and rolling great, fairways okay, tee boxes were terrible. Many signs for holes either missing or laying on the ground, not sure why that is. Played early afternoon in 70 degrees, surprisingly course pretty empty, finished in two hours.

For the price you can’t beat this course. It is a great short game course to work your iron play.

Good course for the money

Course was in good condition. Greens were slow but in good shape. Pace of play was perfect. My wife and I played in a little less than 3 hrs. Cold beers and good hamburgers at the 19th. Another wonderful day living in Arizona.

Incredibly disappointing!

We were looking for a quick round, so the executive course seemed like a good idea. I could not have made a worse decision! This course was in horrific condition... I would not say it was poorly maintained, I would say it isn’t maintained at all!

Save yourself the pain and find a different course, this one will do nothing but disappoint you.

sundays

my family and i really had a great time. i was told to make reservations for my wife and children then when we checked in they would reimburse us for our children due to them being free on sundays (i love ) but instead of reimbursing me they said i have to call golf now to get my money back so that made it not so fun!

Great value. But.
