Bear Creek Golf Club

Course is in good shape with lots of new additions coming. Greens were great and unexpectedly fast.

First off, Bill in the pro-shop was extremely courteous and helpful. This was the opposite of what I experienced on my previous visit, which is why I haven't played here since earlier in the season. The course is obviously undergoing some reconstructing/changing some holes. I'm very curious about what it's going to loo like next year. This did not affect our round, it's just something I noticed. The greens are in great shape and actually rolling a little fast for my skill level, LOL. However, they all roll very true. Each green was the same. They are having a membership special for $50/month then, you only pay $20 for 18 holes. This special included discounts off pro-shop purchases and bar items. I'd definitely recommend giving this course a try.

Course was in good shape. Greens were in really good shape. We played right after TS Helene and there were no issues with standing water. Great drainage.

Second hole changed to a par 5 for some reason. Polar tees are in same spot as when it was a par 4. From the Black tees it should be a par 5 but not from the whites unless they intend on moving those tees too.

Also, I think that the short par three (#16) on the back nine should eliminated and have a par three after #17 using the #2 Black tees. It would make for at least a 130 yard shot instead of a 90 yard shot on 16.

Overall course in good, some parts great shape, couple tee boxes thin. Cart paths are rough but not a deal breaker. Still making changes, not sure how shared tee boxes on #2 & #18 will affect pace of play, since both are par 5’s, w/ tee shot over natural areas. Play manageable correct tees on these 2 holes to carry natural areas on tee shot. Let grass grow on hill on #11 to keep ball from rolling in water. Both #4 & #13 are tough holes. Need to pair up singles. Have never seen a marshall.

Will play again & recommend.

We have been playing on this course many rounds in the past, and this round would be the most impressive one. Overall, the course is well-maintained, and the greens and the fairways are in excellent condition. As noted, some renovations and improvements are still in progress - but hopefully, the entire car paths will be redone soon. Also importantly, the real tee boxes for the new #16 par-three needed to be completed soon, so it will not be seen as a temporary hole.

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Good job guys.

The cart paths were like riding through a war zone for much of the course. There was a lot of construction in places and the holes weren’t clearly defined in location.

Tossed my key to the golf cart at me instead of handing it to me
