Bear Creek Golf Club

No course layout on score card

Poor hole direction from hole to hole

No yardage markers on each hole

Poor cart paths

The owner is a complete snake! Yes I read the fine print. But I can’t help the fact the fourth guy in our group baled morning of. But I had to pay for him. And he tells his employees to blame it on Golf Now. When I’ve been to many of course using this app. Not one time have I had to pay for someone that didn’t show. I left my number Sunday, called again Monday. But the snake still hasn’t called me back. You can take that round and try to give it to the next guy that might not show up. And from what your employees have said. Customers aren’t the only people you take complete advantage of!

No course diagram on the scorecard. No hole diagrams on the tee boxes. Yardage markers not prominent. If you do not play the course regularly, you are basically hitting blind.

They need a ranger to keep speed of play moving. For the first time ever we had 5 in our group, two were women and we kept getting held up by the foursome in front of us which held up a boat load of others.

This course is excellent for beginners and people who would want a leisure game of golf. The greens were slightly fast and the cart paths were pretty damaged with several large potholes. Nonetheless, an excellent round of golf was had with a few challenges.

This is a nice course, not an over abundance of sandtraps, most yraps are well maintainef, greens were reasonaby good, speed was decent, layout is confusing at times, i would suggest using a cart due to distance between some holes, look forward to golfing here again next time i visit.

I’m an avid golfer and this was by far the worst golf experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. So bad it last 1 hole, got paired with a guy who had never held a golf club before. We pulled up to hole 2 and there were 6 groups on the hole. Staff was incompetent and delusional. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!!

Even with the rain this morning, the starter was able to shotgun the morning tee times and move us right along. The front desk staff was very friendly and the cart girl came around multiple times. They even have a bar inside the clubhouse and now serve hot dogs! The Pro Shop is full of the latest Srixon, Cleaveland and Nike golf apparel and footwear, too!!

My son and I played this course recently, and not for the first time. The greens had recently been aerated and sanded, but there was no notification of this at the clubhouse prior to playing, nor was there any discount given because of the greens conditions. The greens were absolutely horrible. it was almost unplayable. We’ve been having a drought in Georgia, and that hasn’t helped the grass at all. That being said, the greens were in horrendous condition. There is major construction going on with Tree Removal at the second hole and 18th hole tee boxes, which share a box. All in all, the conditions were far subpar, the cart paths were chewed up, pitted, and rooty … And the Marshall was telling us we needed to speed up because we would be slowing people down behind us, when in reality we were up against the foursome in front of us. This is the second time the same Marshall has done the exact same thing on a weekend day. Not nicely, actually pretty snippy about it. Just not a fun place to play. We may take a chance and play there again next year, but as for this year, for this amount of money and the marshal-hassle and greens conditions, we are done at this location.

Good layout. The course was maintained well. The cart lady came out often with the high temps.

Starter let the group behind us start before us when everyone in my group was on time for some reason…Caused some unnecessary back up throughout the round. Greens were punched recently without notifying us when we booked tee time. Holes were overgrown/not trimmed. Won’t be back.

This is my fourth time playing this course since May. It was a holiday weekend, which I expected it to be busy, but pace of play was pretty slow. My group finished in 4 1/2 hours.

This is a fun challenging course. The owners are doing a lot of renovations so I feel like every time I play the tee boxes are always moving and some of the holes have new hazards..

Overall I love it here, it’s my favorite course to play in the Athens GA area.

Small recommendation would be to serve creature comfort beer!

Have played here many times, nice course overall with fast greens. Lot of changes & future improvements in process, will get even better in time. New & much longer tees on holes 2 &18 definitely add much more challenge to those tee shots on Polar/White and Back tees, must carry tee shots much further. Only real issue was pace of play, many very slow players & groups on this day taking long time to play shots & hitting multiple extra balls with players waiting behind, but normally not a big issue most days here. Course has relaxed & laid back atmosphere overall and owners/managers are very nice plus very friendly service in the clubhouse.

They change the tee box on 2&18. Which made the holes longer way longer than they were. Still not a bad layout but definitely made the holes harder. If ya can’t hit it 260 your in non playable nonsense.

Greens were recently aerated which gave me lots of opportunities to 3 putt many of the greens. The rest of the course, save a few tee boxes was in nice shape.

Enjoyed the course, fantastic greens, fairways well kept. Only suggestion, think about put a grass tee box on #16
