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.

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 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.
Hi, GreatGolfrisk. We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Bear Creek Golf Club!
Need starters on the weekend.
If a round is over $50 there should be a starter/marshal helping control pace of play, especially on a holiday. Luckily, a couple of groups were able to work together and consolidate as necessary, but that shouldn’t have to happen. And we were waiting 5-10 minutes on each hole to hit.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the pace of play during your recent visit. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and will take your comments into consideration to improve our service. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and thanks for choosing Bear Creek Golf Course.
6 hour round
I cannot believe you can run a weekend and holiday business without the appropriate staff. No starter no bar staff and no ranger. Got to do a better job if the price goes up. You know that can barter for help.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your recent experience at our business. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced due to the lack of staff during the weekend and holidays. Your feedback will be taken into consideration as we strive to improve our service and ensure adequate staffing availability. Thank you again for your valuable input.

I don’t understand
Because I booked on the GolfNow app my friend who got hurt during the round and couldn’t finish was not allowed a refund for the back 9 or even a rain check to play when he Isn’t injured anymore. People were on top of each other the entire round. Overall was just an average experience and a little dissatisfied with the no help with my friend.
We apologize for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction you experienced during your round. We understand your frustration, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Never get to play
I took a day off as vacation and reserved this course through Golfnow. When we got there, qe learned there was flood and the course was not playable. They could habe called ma and notify that course was not playable due to flood before we got there since it was about 1 hr drive. Luckily we were able to play round of golf near Providence. Tks to the lady whonwirked there at the course.
Really disappointed but hope to play there next time. I have asked for reimbursement and hopdully we can get reimbused online.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the flood at our course and for not notifying you in advance. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Thank you for leaving a review, and thanks for choosing Bear Creek.
Great facility
Course is well kept and maintained. Greens were in great shape. Only negative is some of the cart paths need to be worked on. Highly recommend this place.

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.
