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

Overall a beautiful, fun and challenging course. The cart path has seen better days in some areas and PLEASE update your directional signs. Easy to take a wrong turn. Had a great time on a nice course.

Course is OK they could keep it looking a little better with mowing and dead grass removal.

Greens were cut very poorly

Course was Good

Greens were a little slow since they had not been rolled.

Surprised By How Much I Enjoyed This Course

After reading mixed reviews, I arrived a little wary of the experience, especially during COVID 19. But I was pleasantly surprised. Staff was friendly. Course layout was fun, challenging, but not overly so. Fairways were lush, tee boxes a little worn. Greens were very slow, but rolled true, with some exceptional trouble spots. This is a fairly open course, which lets you grip and rip at times. Some holes however require very accurate targets off the tee. So the course offers a nice variation of challenges. I will be back, despite the hour long drive.

This course's grounds are terrible.

We asked about why the greens are so much worse than they have been and we were told that they don't have the proper lawn mowers to cut them low enough... What? Also the fairways were over grown with weeds. It looked like the grounds have never been treated before. I was pretty disappointed overall today.

Not A Friendly Golf Course

This is not a friendly place to play golf. I finally realize the fact that every time I play there - there is someone always short or condescending or not accommodating. It might be because they don't like golfers using Golfnow or something worse. The only good thing about this place is that it helps me appreciate the fine courtesy I get from all other golf courses.

Thinking about joining this club. Really do like the course layout, many improvements being made and most greens are in good shape.
