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.

Poor Staff Inside

I wanted to play a round of golf the day before my birthday. Had a friend surprise to come celebrate it. Ask if she could ride with me. They said only if I paid $20. Explain the situation and there was NO OTHER person going out with me.

Just thought it showed POOR taste. I have had other courses let a person NOT playing ride cart with me for NO charge and NO hassle.

Another Great Round!

I’ve left a few reviews for this course, but I always value the most recent when I’m looking, so here we are. The best course for iron play and short game (aside from there being only one sand trap on the entire course). Tons of different shots to hit. Very good conditions. Greens were so good! Very fast and true. It was fairly windy, and I didn’t play particularly well, but still really enjoyed the round. Prices are coming down as it heats up. We scored a super nice day, even with the wind, so the value was strong. See you next time!

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.
