About
Monroe's Bear Creek Golf Club is situated in the heart of Walton County. It's less than an hour from Atlanta, making it a conveniently close getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The course originally opened in 1990 but in 2008 it changed ownership and underwent a major renovation that elevated its conditions to rival that of any of the area's best golf courses. The bunkers were rebuilt and re-sanded and the fairways were re-conditioned. Bear Creek G.C. has always been known for its excellent greens, which have a reputation for being some of the state's finest putting surfaces. The layout measures 6,585 yards from the back tees, which may seem short but there are some ups and downs throughout that will make it feel much longer.

Great course! Was in fantastic shape and challenging yet fun. I will be back!
Bear creek
Greens were in great shape. Fairways had a lot of work going on and very hard. A few tee boxes needed some attention, but overall a great day on the course.
Disappointing
Poor layout. Confusing.
Fairways skinned. No GPS or hole preview
Some construction in process.
Trash trash trash
This course uses to be pretty nice when I played there last… 15 years ago. The tee boxes, fairways, greens, cart path, etc now are all in disarray and in horrible condition. They’re charging $70 a round when it should be $20. Save yourself the $$ and disappointment and play elsewhere. This course is trash.
First Time, Not the Last
I look forward to playing this course again. I like the layout, and the greens were not hard to read.
Not worth it
Showed up around 30 minutes early, was given a cart and paired randomly (which is normal). Tee time was 11:10 and when we got in line at 11:10 we had 8 carts in front of us waiting to tee off. Couldn’t tell the difference between the rough and the fairway, greens were average, cart paths were potholed everywhere and non existent in some areas. Pace of play was terrible. Took us over 6 hours to play 18. Every tee box was backed up with people. Cart girl and staff were very friendly, although none of the cart drinks were on ice, they were just in the cooler of the cart. Multiple holes had construction type work being performed with one of them being muddy with excavation equipment sitting on it. Definitely not the course I remember playing years ago. For what I paid would be worth going somewhere else.
Finn Scooters are the move fun I’ve had golf
A couple friends and I rented the Finn Scooters for our round. They were so much fun. Gonna have a hard time going back to the standard golf cart. The course was in good shape. Staff was great!
Marshall needs revaluation
Marshall came out when I was on the 9th hole and told me there was a 3 hole gap in between myself and the group in front of me. He told me the next group was on the 12th hole and that my group needed to pick up the pace. Although at this point we were right on track to play a 2 hour 9. I sped up my pace of play which of course caused me to play worse. I even skipped getting food at the club house on the turn to hurry up. Get to the 10th hole and there is a group on the fairway… left a sour taste in my mouth the rest of the game and played horribly. Won’t be back for a while, if ever…
