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 - Cub course

Was expecting to play the larger course. This course is short distances. Still fun to play but will make sure we book the larger course next time.

Most mismanaged course in the valley

Got stuck in a frost delay this morning.

They had the range and putting greens closed until 9am. Normally this would be fine but they were sending the men’s club off the bear course starting at 8:30 yet they still had the range closed.

This kind of mismanagement is a common occurance at this course. I’ve seen the range closed at 7am in the summer because they have to go pick up balls. Why wasn’t this done the evening before?

No Cart Girl

Good course for the money but the cart girl drove past us on the cub course without so much as a glance back or even to slow down to see if we wanted anything. Why? Bad day, not worth the tips? Whatever the reason, it was rude and that sticks with you when there are a lot of different places to play. Hope you all have a chat with her. Did it to us on the front and back nine.

Fun short course

The course was in pretty good shape. Tee boxes were good and the greens were in good shape. Fairways were o.k. I just have to learn to stay out of the "rough" which is sand/dirt. I would recommend. Played the red tee's. Able to use my driver on some holes.

Unreal

This course offers no cart paths and breaks all the rules, you can roll up on greens. But god bless your! Lower side, The carts suck! I get their reseeding their other course since it's a 36 hole course. I'm guessing its better, for the 10$ I paid i should have no option! I golf 3 times a week and due to most courses are shut down I tried it out! Honestly it's what you can get this time of the season and for 10$ with a golf now credit, im more sadden I burn that credit on this course

Great Course

Course, golf shop and beverage cart folks were outstanding. Starter and Marshals take their jobs way too seriously. They need to be present but less visible and chill on authority.
