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.

Fun course, played in two hours

I didn't realize that this was such a short course when I booked it. That said, it was good fun and we completed our round in just two hours. Good for short game practice. There are some par four holes so we still got the chance to use the driver. No lost balls mainly because there are so few hazards.

Nice Executive

Course was in very good condition, other than a little wet. Greens were very nice. Pace was also good, about 2 1/2 hours. Was nice to see Jimmy as the Starter. Cart girl outstanding, as well.

Badly cared for Executive course

The greens were horribly kept. The fairways needed water. There wasn't signs to the next whole and didn't show yardage. The worst Executive course ever.

Remember to read the reviews first...

We have played this course a hundred or more times over the last 10 years. And it has always lived up to our expectations. Until today.

What it looked like is that they overseeded and forgot to wait for the new grass to come up before opening it up for golf.

The course was awful, in a word.

They should charge half price for such conditions or just not let people go out until the course has a chance to re grow.

I am afraid we may not be back.

Bear Hug

Needed to get out for a quick round and didn't want to play a long course, so the Cub course at Bear Creek was perfect.

The course was a little dry making the greens hard and fast as well as the fairways. The dryness helped with distance but was a little hard to hit off of them.

The layout was a little confusing at times, but for the most part it was a typical compact executive layout.

The staff was attentive, polite and extremely pleasant! Hugs all around.

I would recommend this course anytime, but feel it may be a little slow during the busy season.

While the restaurant and bar looked very nice and inviting, I did not partake in any food or drink.

The beverage cart was nice since there was no water provided on the Cub Course. There was, however, large cups with provided ice and water at the clubhouse, which was a nice touch.

Nice open course

I really enjoyed the course. I played the executive, the cub course. They did just aerate the greens but wasn’t to bad. The only negative thing I have about the course was trying to figure out where the next tee box was. Not on every home but every once & awhile wasn’t sure where the next tee box was.
