Bear Creek Golf Club

I've played here several times and the experience is great. Awesome staff and the course is in good shape.

The course itself is in good shape. However, the pace of play was terrible. Started around 10 minutes past our tee time. Was waiting at least 5-8 minutes at each hole. Got done in over 5 hours.

The staff was friendly but no one seemed to be ready for it to be busy. Tee off was 18mins behind, they didn’t have enough carts to start on time. W e didn’t see a starter anywhere. The signage was terrible around the entire course, including the yard markers. Even the score card didn’t have a course layout which would be helpful with the course being tight and hilly. The course was dried and and very hard, you feel like you are hitting off mats. The lone bright spot was the cart girl came by Atleast 4x which was shocking. Normal cost for our 10:44 tee off was $55. I would have had to ask for partial refund if I paid that much. Maybe it was just an Ill prepared day for the course.

Without much rain in the past few weeks the course has dried out, making the fairways fast and the greens too firm. Ten- and fifteen-foot bounces on wedge shots landing on the greens resulted in chip shots from behind the greens. Fortunately, they are working on the water system to take care of the problem. The course is still very playable if you target shots short of the greens or on the very front of the greens. Otherwise, the greens are in great shape and very fast. The extremely challenging rating should drop as soon as the dry conditions are addressed.

First of all it is amazing to play golf and see maybe 20 deer just roaming around. The course is in really nice shape for one month into spring. The course layout is fun. Playing from the white tees ( I’m 64 years old ) many holes do not require a driver off the tee. One really annoying thing that does stand out is the pace of play. A ranger to keep things moving along could save 30 minutes if not more. The scenery is nice for sure. A second round here or playing with someone who has played here recently would be beneficial. You would definitely know the shortcuts or maybe the spots to stay below the hole. We will be back. Sure hope the round does not take as long next time. Hire a ranger - great investment !

Was supposed to have a 12pm tee time but someone didn't show up so I was pushed out to around 12:45. The staff was great and even offered me free food and beverages. I was paired up with a great bunch of guys and had a great day.

Fairways were in good shape and the greens were super fast.

Overall this is a good course. I had a decent round of 86.

I would recommend this course just because of the staff.

Really disappointed and leftover 9 holes.. Played the. course several times; but not in the past 2.5 years. The course has turn into a terrible tract and disappointing experience for golfers. No grass on tee boxes, and very little in the fairways. Sand hazards are half dirt, half sand. The greens remain in good shape and fast. The course looked like it hasn’t been watered for weeks. Pace of play was very slow despite a marshal riding around. I got a hot deal from golf now, but still felt over-charged. I won’t be back.
