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.

Behind 18th green Photo submitted by 3TimeAWeekGolfer on 01/30/2020
Better than my expectation.
I read a lot of reviews of lower rated and friends who been here for play about his experience. I was kinda worried but it was better than I thought. Pace of the play was a bit slowed, took about 4.8 hrs to complete, fairway and green condition were great to play, but the fairway near side rough is a bit high to hide the balls, even it is right next with fairway. I found more than a dozen of golf ball that are lost by others who passed before me in the rough while I was looking for mine.
It is kinda odd on the 18th hole which is about 400yds and it is par 5, seems like the course designer wanted to make par 72 course on short distance.
Overall, this course is good to play and not expensive than other course which have similar conditions.
Excellent golf course
It was awesome. Really like the course. Visiting from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Pro-shop person was very helpful and accommodating.

Affordable and good course
Good course for an affordable rate. Amenities is lacking a little especially on the course. There was no restroom and no water throughout the course. Lunch options were limited as well.

Great course
Haven’t played this course since May, but it’s looking great. After new ownership, this guy has been turning this course around. Took out some of the trees, cut some brush down to open up the course a little. And now they’re installing a driving range. Should be done within a week or two. But this course is looking good, and they just got in some new golf carts.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Priddy79. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Bear Creek Golf Club thanks you!
Nice course, driving range is coming soon!
Overall the course and greens were in great shape. Rough was a little high, hard at times finding your ball just a few feet off of the fairway. Glad to see they are installing a driving range

Highly overrated
This course is below average. Was rated 4 stars before playing. 2 stars at best. The owner shows up and tees off right before us in a 5-some with no tee time. Fairways suck, rough is long and thick, and greens were not bad, and the course layout was below average too. Nobody out there starting people on the first tee box. THE ONLY GOOD THING WAS THE CART GIRL WAS A "10". I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE. NOT EVEN FOR FREE!

Good course but staff is another thing
They wouldn't give me cart keys until 2 mins before tee-time. Course was not busy at all, so not sure why.
Course itself was in good condition.

Has so much potential
With the rain, the course needs some mowing once dried. Greens were in good shape, rolling great. Challenging course, friendly staff and good price. Wish they had the driving range and a logo ball. All of it is in the works.
