Bear Creek Golf Club
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.

Flooded golf course
I took a vacation day to play round of golf with my dad. The tee time was in the afterrnon and when we got there, the course was closed aparently due to heavy rainfall on prior night. The lady told us that the golf course was flooded and closed. Tjere was no courtesy call about the condition of golf course. I used Holf now app for payment and lady told us to contact them for refund. Called golfnow for refund and they said they cannot refund since payment is already made.
I wasted my money and vacation time trying to play at this course and would not go back for round of golf.

Great course. Very slow.
I loved everything about the course however it took forever. 5 and a half hours. We waited to tee off on every hole. Don’t know where the Marshall was to move things along. A couple people left mid round.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u314160460858. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Bear Creek Golf Club thanks you!
Good Course for the money just need to have better direction to the holes

Terrible Owner
Had played there many times with the former owners, and really enjoyed it… In my opinion, the jerk who owns this course now is absolutely terrible! I will never play here as long as he owns it! I pray that none of my friends ever go there!
Great shape
Won't play again! You have to book online so don't bother calling course. Make sure everyone shows in group because they still charge your credit card if they don't and don't be a single minute late as they'll charge your card for that also. Great course!! Poorly managed. Seems their more interested in members then public golfers.

Very Unfriendly to Veterans
I had played this course, many times, and most of the time enjoyed it very much, but this time was very different! I was a little early for my tee time and understood that I might have to wait because they had two tournaments going on at the time. But after waiting for more than 15 minutes, within sight of the first tee, I asked, could we go on because nobody had come through in 15 minutes and nobody was waiting… I was told I would have to wait until my tee time, and after waiting a little bit longer, I was allowed to proceed… during the whole round, we had the course to ourselves, but on the 17th hole, the same stern person approached me again, and even though I had a handicap flag, he said, I was too close to the green… I can assure you I was 30 or 40 yards from the green with my cart… Anyway, this person made me and my partner feel very uncomfortable, and we will never return, and I will tell all the people who ask me what they might expect, and that won't be good!

GolfNow Deal
I have played Bear Creek several times and it's a decent course but There are a couple of issues I have had.
When I arrived to check in the person specifically stated that I had the GolfNow Deal and I felt like it was said to make me feel like I was not a full paying customer. * rode with another player who got the same deal and he commented that it made him feel the same way. Also when I asked to pay for a bucket of balls he said I could do it at the machine, when I said can I pay here he said no you have to pay at the machine. Bad customer service.
Either take the GolfNow booking service or don't but don't diminish the people who get a hot deal. Doesn't make me want to come back.
I won't come back and pay full price now. I'll only go back if it's a $30 hot deal.
Also there was a threesome behind us on the motorcycle carts and they were pushing us all through the back nine. They would hit right up to us then ride up and wait. It was very rude. They also were riding their carts right up to the greens. Very bad golf etiquette.
Having said all this the greens were in great shape and I actually like the course and layout. The staff could use some work on welcoming the players.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, DeanRBlack. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Bear Creek Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, Juribe1314. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Bear Creek Golf Club!
Nice day on the course
Bear Creek never disappoints. The course was in good shape, the company was great. Joined a group at the turn for the back 9. Weather, everything was good. I'm still not entirely happy about shortening 16 and putting in the practice range, but that's another story.
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.
