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.

Very good course - one of my favorites

Greens are always kept in very good condition and putt true.

Fairways are in good shape for winter conditions.

Bunkers are kept racked and are in good condition.

Value is excellent.

Rude Rude Rude

The person working the pro shop was completely rude and out of line. My son and I were checking in for tee time . My 20 year old son was getting a few snacks and some water. The person working was saying boy you must be smoking pot. I told him no he is with me and he doesn’t smoke anything. So my son pays for the snacks and water , and the person says again boy that’s a lot of snacks for some one. You either have smoked pot or you are going to smoke pot. I told him once again my son doesn’t smoke. This is very unprofessional and rude. I will not be back to this golf course again. That’s too bad because otherwise everything else was good.

Beautiful winter day.

The course is in excellent shape - especially the greens. they are smooth and fast. Pace of play was a little slow, but the course was full because it was such a nice day. No complaints.

One of My Favorite Courses

Though it has been wet, cold and windy, it is always a pleasure to play Bear Creek! The staff and owners are friendly and fantastic people! The course is always fun and we always hate to finish a round! If you haven't played here...you need to give it try!
