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

Great little practice course but not easy. Greens have a little slope but just enough to make it interesting. I played on a Sunday so there were small kids playing. It slowed things down a bit but still good pace.

Advise the staff that Golf Now tee times are not the only way we schedule for 18 holes. I recommend the course to others and have scheduled a round directly through Bear Creek. I should be treated the same no matter how I booked the tee time.

Always good.

Have played the Cub somewhere around 200 times over the past 25 years. It is always good. No better place to work on your irons, chipping, and putting, while still getting to hit driver a few times. Only downside is the cost. I’m not suggesting it still be $20 in the peak season, but $65 ($45 for twilight) is a tad high. They’re getting it, so what do I know.

Practice Fun.

The Cub course is excellent for working on your short game... which I need a lot of. the day was clear and we moved along smoothly. No complaints. I wish there was a package where you could buy multiple rounds at a discount and the same for the driving range. But that is a small detail. I had a great time.

Disrespectful check in people.

Be aware that if you book this course through Tee Off or Golf Now App you will be treated like a 2nd class golfer. The three guys behind the Pro Shop counter announced out loud that I got a hot deal tee time and aren’t I lucky. If Bear Creek doesn’t want golfers booking by Apps then they should stop using them. Love the course but shouldn’t have to be disrespected at check in.

Staff not friendly or approachable

Got a Tee time on the Cub Course but wasn’t what I wanted ask to upgrade to the Bear course but said they can’t do that cuz I got on golf now I said I would pay the difference they said no I have to forfeit my $66 and I laughed as there was no one on the bear course at 2pm as it was too hot out….if I was the owner I would fire all 3 of those club house employees 3 old farts with no personality and no customer service at all was treated terribly
