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.

Nice course for beginners

This course is great for beginners. You only Nee the driver on 5 holes. And a beginner can use the 7 iron and putter on most of the course.

Nice Par 3 course

This is a nice, fun par 3 course. Certainly not overly challenging. Staff is friendly, price is good. Only negative would be the lack of a cart path on many holes but that's really not that big of an issue. All in all a good course if you want to have fun and not be challenged by long par 4's and 5's all round.

Used cart

Did not realize it was a par 3 course until I started playing. Just assumed it was a traditional 18 hole course with par 5's and 4's

They need to get their act together

We had to wait on carts. Two groups backed up on every hole until 15th. Small kids in group ahead of us playing with adults. 6 or 7 golfers in one “foursome.” Rangers did nothing about it. Took 4 plus hours to play this short executive course.
