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.

Bear Creek

I played both courses at Bear Creek, Bear course on May 8 and the Cub course on May 9. Both courses are very good and I enjoyed playing both of them. Both courses would be easy to walk if you prefer walking instead of riding. Driving range and practice areas are excellent.

Nice Quick Course

The executive course is a very easy play, not much elevation change, not many hazards. The pace of play was great. I was in a threesome golfing the front nine and we finished in under an hour and a half (with one guy that must have a handicap in the 50s). Great course.

meh...

Course was in good condition. Moderately challenging for an executive course. Good place to work on short game. Pace of play was extremely slow. Biggest issue with Bear Creek: it is always slow and over priced, it appears it always will be. Decent place but many other options that don't charge country club rates and cram as many people as possible on the course.

A great course for beginners

My wife and I had a great time, the staff are helpful and friendly. This is a great place for folks who are just getting started and don't need the pressure of low good golfers. We played 18 holes in less than 3 hours, and we waited on most holes. We will be going back.

Snowbird Review

Played the "Cub" course ('Executive'). Wide-open course (not much shade). Course is forgiving (especially for those who are wont to take a 'scenic route' on any particular hole), but greens are challenging, replete with subtle breaks. Great for the novice, and the retired! Some bunkers; only real water hazard is on the 18th hole. Great bang for the buck!

The Cub

This is a great course for a short hitter. No par 5's. I booked it as I have not golfed in a long time and just wanted to tune up my game for a good price. I'm going back tomorrow so that says something
