Bear Creek Golf Club

,The staff was kind and it was nice to have some time to play. Unfortunately, first-time players had uncomfortable milestones and some places didn't have a tee box mark.

Had 8:10 tee time and was pressured to start at 7:45 by to course marshal.

I to explained to him we had a player 5 minutes out and we didn't mind playing up if he wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes. Then he popped off and said if he's not here in 5 minutes we're going to have to bump your group back to 10AM, again we had an 8:10 tee time and it's 7:45

I never played this course and was excited because it's only being 6 minutes from the house. The front nine flowed very nice but the back nine look to have been an after thought.

The biggest complaint was that there was a single player and a group of four in front of us. Great group of guys! A little slow play but great people. That being said, our group waited for them to at least get on the green before we teed off, but we didn't get the same courtesy from the group behind us. Kept driving up on us on the fairway. My experience and the guys I brought experience as a first time attendee was horrible. Would never go back.

The staff is friendly, the snack hut is trying.

The course is changing things around it appears.

I will give them another shot in 6 months that should be them time ti finish the changes.

The greens needs to be faster and shorter to make the course more respectable. Also the tee boxes weee put in areas that were pretty much dirt and beat up. More time needs to be spent on improving tee box conditions. Nobody wants to tee off on dirt.

Greens in good shape. Fairways and tees not so much .

I would have to start with the good. The course is in good shape, the layout is good, greens are in good shape, tee boxes need work.

Now the bad. The 5min start times between groups is a bad idea. Even during the week it’s bad, so I could only image it on a weekend. This does nothing but cause slow play and especially when you mix in 2somes. The course hole directional signage is horrible, especially if you’ve never played here before. Players beware.

The pace they allow people to play at is diabolical. You come through nine headed to ten just to be behind five foursomes. They need a marshal dictating the pace of play making people skip holes they normal things marshals do. If you don't over book you don't have these problems everyday they over book take your money somewhere else.

Course always in good condition. Staff very professional and courteous. Sometimes on the weekends pace of play can be an issue but the marshal always get them moving.

The greens were in great shape. Fairways were good coming out of winter. Love the lay out of this course. It provides a good mix of hole challenges to make you think about what shots to play. Club house staff was friendly. Pace of play was grinding on the back 9. All came to a halt on 18 with 4 groups waiting for the tee box. Unfortunately 30 minutes on the last hole of the day.

I know its Saturday and alot of not great golfers, but if you can't be good at least be quick about it.

We waited on every single hole and there was open space for the group ahead of us. Never saw a marshall that might have been able to ask the group to speed it up a bit....

We gave up after 16 holes... we couldn't take it any longer and had dinner plans. But for a course this basic, you should not be looking at 5+ hour round.

I played here for the first time in April 2025. It was a fun layout and moderately difficult with sloping fairways and elevation. They are doing some course changes so the layout is a little odd right now but i can see the potential. The greens were in fantastic shape, which is always a big plus. It was early in the year so the fairways were very firm and not as lush as they will be later in the spring. I want to come back in a month or so or even this time next year to se the great changes coming to fruition.

No carts ready. Cart washers didn’t care. Members jumped in with no tee time. Starter was lost. Had to wait for two other groups on every hole. Gave up after 11 and left.

I played Bear Creek again and came away disappointed again.. It is a shame because it could be a decent course if the experience was better.

First off I got a Hot Deal and that made the course reasonably priced for what you get. If that was it then I would be ok but the course charged me an assault $20 so my wife , who does not play, could ride with me. I think that's very petty. It's not like they are short of carts. I would be curious if I could book a regular tee time and deduct $40 if I wanted to walk and not ride in a cart..

Then the only food available was $5 hot dogs with no toppings at all except mustard and ketchup.

Totally ridiculous. My days of playing Bear Creek are over. 85 really is a shame because I like the course itself and the layout. But the rest of the experience is not worth it
