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.

Fun course for a quick round

3.5 hour round of golf on a course that let's you play every club in the bag. Pace was a little slower than normal because weather was so nice more people out there. Usually play this course in 3 hours.

One of our favorites

This is a great short course with challenging greens. Good practise for your short game. From the green of #3 hole to the #4 Tee blocks is a little ambiguous as we have seen people going to hole #6 and missing 4 and 5. We have also experienced having to wait while several foursomes that were not in front of us were lined up at the tenth tee, waiting to tee off. If people are being started on #10 there should be a marshal present to regulate this.

Aza

Rough high and very spongy.

Pace of play good only because recreational players allowed us to play through twice.

Staff very friendly and helpful.

Alternative to playing your Bear course since it had been closed for overseeding. Very close to where we were living here in Chandler. Completed our round in a little over 2 hours.

Would try it again under similar circumstances.

Couple of blind shots, a few tee boxes close to incoming greens, all in all a good course, greens in very good shape, and enjoyed the round.

Fast Greens and Wildlife

Just when you think you've figured out the speed of the greens, you're on a hole with a slow green.

A lot of wildlife, ducks, rabbits, birds galore. It'd be a fun place to start your children golfing; Cub course, not the Bear.

great weather for golf

played 18 holes and the course was in good condition which is about par for this time of year considering the large amount of people playing now. My only complaint was the speed at which a certain four some in front of several other golfers were playing which held everyone up. Some hitting several balls on each hole because of the wait. I'm not sure what the course employees could do about that because it's hard to teach manners to some people playing golf. It happens on the best of course so it's part of the game.

still no ball washers on the Cub back nine

No problems with management this time. I guess they did not read my last review in Feb 2016.

Great course for juniors and beginners. Good golfers should allow people ahead to clear the green on the short par 4's.

Fun course for beginners, to work on irons.

Fun round. Great mix of holes. Pace for the front 9 was great, slowed a bit on back but still finished the round in just under 3 hours. Started at 11:50 on a Saturday. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Good value.

Great day! We never felt rushed--groups were well spaced. we especially liked the ice water available in the clubhouse as well as ice in the cooler.
Could do with more washroom facilities on course esp. with running water and soap.
