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.

Bear Creek Golf Club is a very enjoyable experience. The tees and greens are in excellent shape. The fairways are good, but need to be cut a bit shorter. Greens are tricky to read, so a bit of course knowledge is needed. Sometimes there were some great distances from green to tea, so one must pay attention to the signs. Many different tees to play from make this course a good one for all levels of play.
Loved it !!
I have been playing courses looking for something that is challenging and in good condition yet not breaking my pockets either. I came across this course on GolfNow and decided to give it a shot. So glad I did . Friendly staff, friendly members , and a fun yet challenging course layout. Did I mention the greens ??? Definitely some of the best greens I have played at this price range. I will be back.
Greens are super. Staff super
Excellent improvements over last couple of years.
A couple of requests for the budget. Please repair the carts paths. They are in rough shape. Other than a few fairways that could use a mow , the only other repair would be to the tee boxes. The ones in the shade are struggling a bit. Overall great improvements. Thx for the hard work.
Course is still improving
Another good day. Course is improving, greens are above average. Play here if you’v Not played here recently. I highly recommend
Overall
The greens were much better than a month ago. #1 Is a mile long par 5. The club house has come a long way. I played 9 and was super disappointed thay 9 was a par 3. The course was tough with good fairways. I believe it was #6 that was as water logged as it could be.
The best it ever looked and getting even better
Love the course and the people . Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else !
Great improvements at Bear Creek
Always enjoy playing Bear Creek, but first time I’ve been there in a month or so and I saw a many great improvements!
Carrier 4
Great jobs I’ve been playing there for atleast 5 years and our group about 3 years the greens arr the best ever they are starting to challenge Cherokee Run and Ashton Hills great job we’ve put the course back in our rotation Love the club house nothing but love
Fun course
Always enjoy playing here - great staff, improved facilities for food and drink too!
Perfect Greens
The greens here are the closest to perfect that I’ve seen in a long time. For the value there might not be a course in Georgia that can beat Bear Creek. Will definitely be back. Everyone in the club shop were awesome as well
Excellent greens
Had a great time with my son. I think they came close to losing the fairways by cutting them too close and this had to really let them grow. Greens in super shape. Pro was helpful as always.
Great Golf Test
Test you game with all the shots at Bear Creek. Unique course layout throughout the host neighborhood. Golf fun!!
Greens amazing
Greens were in best shape I've ever seen here. They are definitely putting some money into this golf course. They were fast and smooth. Fairways were plush and rewarding if you hit a good tee shot. Will definitely be returning soon. Always love this place for it's fun layout but current condition plus layout make it a go to.
Greens are amazing
Greens best I ever seen here. They've obviously put some money into them. So smooth and fast. As nice s Chicopee Woods. Fairways were plush and definitely rewarded for good tee shots.
Thank you so much for your kind words and review!
We appreciate you and can’t wait for you to play at BCGC again soon!
