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.

Great for kids

Enjoyed a great round of golf. My son is 6 years old and said his favorite part was the chicken tenders with fries. The greens were a little rough but couldn't find anything else to complain about.

Nice Executive, Condition So So

Beautiful day in the 70s and the course was packed. Pace a little slow ar 3 1/2 hours. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were just so so. I wouldn't pay any more than we did, too many other courses in better shape.

Overpriced and Overrated

First of all when I clicked on the course on Golf Now app it said the course was a par 71. When we arrived at the course they put us on the executive course. There were three of us so the starter told us he was giving us a fourth player. When I asked the starter if the fourth had his own card, he asked why. I replied that I didn’t know the individual and I was concerned about COVID. He told me I wasn’t very smart making a statement like that, rather than argue with him I waited to see who the fourth player was. It ended up being a guy walking. The starter was rude and ignorant with his comments. When we finished playing I went back on the app to see why we were put on the cub course. What I found out was even though I selected the par 71 course the app then put me on the cub course. I didn’t notice that because I was too busy looking at all the charges associated with the booking. I think the app should have both courses on their own so as to not add to the confusion. Aside from that the course was worth about half of what we paid.

Course is bad.

The rough is nothing but hard packed dormant grass, there is very little grass in the fairways and the greens were bad. I have played this course many times in the last 5 years and this is the worse that I have seen it.
