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.

Hottest day of the Year
Recent changes at Bear Creek have been very positive. New Carts, New Driving Range and New attitude. They's spent some money on the course and everyone was nicer than ever.
Only complaint goes to the greenskeepers. Almost every hole had burnt, worn edges. Had 4 putts lipout due to bad hole edges.
For the hottest day of the year...it was a great day and great round.

Good but busy
Good course just super slow. I understand it’s the weekend but they ran out of carts when we got there and had to wait 15 after our tee time to start our round which wasn’t too bad but the round ended up being close to 5 hours due to all the waiting around at every tee box. But other than that, pretty decent course.

Hidden Gem and not for long
I hope it stays hidden. This is one of the best secrets in North Atlanta. Reminds me of Chicopee Woods because it's so well maintained. Pro Shop is top notch and I love their motto. I'll definitely be back....more than once
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear Creek Golf Club.
No Go Zone
Tough course and not being kept well. Not spending a dime again. The rains have affected everyone but gees - just unplayable conditions
We apologize for the tough course conditions and understand your frustration. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we appreciate your feedback.
Very good overall
It was a good experience overall and I will go back. Greens were very fast but true. Course was in good shape. My biggest problem is you can't hit driver on the range because it is so short. Otherwise very good
Hello, cwbagley891. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Bear Creek Golf Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Great condition
Super condition right now, just wish they would put in real tees on 16. Also they need to get the senior groups moving. I’m not into playing in 4.5 hours. Play black tees for a challenge.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Scott6743255! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Bear Creek Golf Club.

Would have been at least 5 hours
Booked for 9:40 got off early around 9 am. Counter girl very pleasant. Took 2 1/2 hours to play the front spent a lot of time standing around waiting. Finished the front and took a chance skipping 10...for the next seven holes there were foursomes on the box, in the fairway, and on the greens. Finally got to 17 and was able to play the last two holes. Though the course has improved from previous ownership it isn't worth $48 and a painfully long round. Don't think I'll be back unless it is a late afternoon round when the course is open and the price isn't so steep
Great place
The atmosphere is great. The tournaments they host are great. The course is super nice and challenging. The new range is perfect for dialing it in before your round.
