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.

Good value for this trek

Got paired with a couple of guys that were also playing this course for the first time. We played from different tees, as my length off the tee is short. Our pace was slow. Course was in great condition for the time of the year. The course held up well after it took a down pour. I would play it again.

Staff dude at the counter continuously complaining about the Golf App, very negative to most customers, this isn’t the first time other players have mentioned him being rude.

Still making improvements & it shows

They are making improvements in course & each time we play we see the positive results. Greens are better than average & both tee boxes & fairways are improving. If you haven’t played there lately GO play. You’ll be impressed.

People in clubhouse friendly.

Busy Saturday

I played there today everything was good but I didn’t like the fact that they paired me and that we were behind another foursome back to back to back to back I feel I can play f aster in a group of 2 and The staff had groups as big as a out there I realize everyone wants to play but once you run out of golf carts you should stop taking tee times

First timer

Nice, long layout with great greens. There were several doglegs that were nice challenges. I wish the score card had a map layout. I can't wait to bring my wife because there were several porta potties so she'll not have to hold it.
