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.

Great day, great company

Had to wait about 40 min for the 3rd of the threesome I was paired up with to show up. It was worth it. Course was not full, and once we got started the group was very good company. The course was wet in spots because we've had so much rain lately, but was in very good condition. The greens are holding up well. The course layout is tricky for someone who is new, but is not too challenging. The 3 guys I was with definitely benefited from my experience on the course. Recommend this course all the time.

In the middle of a senoir play day.

Everything was great, except my 11:40 tee time turned out to be right in the middle of a weekly senior play day. The seniors I met were very sociable and understanding, even offering for me to play along with them. They were all 4somes and took up the whole course. Fortunately, they played fairly quickly, and from the forward tees, so the pace wasn't too bad. Advance warning of these types of play days should be given by the course. Otherwise, a very good day.

Good Course

Always enjoy playing here. A couple of holes challenge you pretty well (4, 11,13). The layout is good and the staff is always top notch.

It was a great round. The course is in great shape. Got rain out on hole 13. But it was still a great day. Always love playing Bear Creek.

A fun Track

Course has a lot of character. Several of the hole are blind shots, so you might want to ride up and take a look before you hit. There are several holes where you can grip and rip, but others you need to play smart.

Folks in the clubhouse were really friendly.

Go play this course and see what you think..

Summer Heat

There is no water on the course and no cart girl/guy with water on the course. Play this course in the winter. Poor design on one of the holes. They stuck it in a crack.

Very fun course, great for average golfers

Course is challenging and fun to play.The greens

are excellent and put very true.

We found the rough to be a little long as several

times balls off of the short grass were hard to find,

this was probably due to the increased rain we have had this year. Course is a great value for the money and we look forward to playing it again.

Carrier Threesome

This Course is on of my favorites Jeff the club house manager is always very friendly and talks to everyone I play there so much he knows me by name the only problem was a foursome came out of the clubhouse on the back mine and slowed the pace down very bad we had the group behind us waiting in the fairways and when that happens it makes everyone rush there shots other than that great day .

Great course

Had a lot of fun. Great course for the money. Only issue was that I had a 7:56 tee time and the sprinklers were still on when we got to the third tee plus the rain a few nights before had the course flooded in some places. Overall, beautiful course and can’t wakt to go back

Good choice

I used Golf Now as a means to discover area courses sine I just moved to the area. Bear Creek is tucked away within a residential area and is a well-kept secret..

I arrived at 9:15 for my 9:42 tee time. There might have been 8 cars in the parking lot. The gentleman at the check-in desk was so friendly and told us all about the course. He even provided a course layout booklet to help us with our round.

The course is in good shape and is challenging. Due to the recent heavy daily rains, the fairway roughs were pretty high but the fairways were in great shape. The greens on this course can be very tough on some holes but they make the golfer really think.

The course layout has well-marked signs but finding hole 12 turned us around somewhat. Water stations need to be maintained but that’s just minor.

I will definitely play this course again and often. Great course for the money!

The golf course is really good shape and the staff is excellent. You get your money's worth. The only concern was the missing water coolers.

Enjoyed

Employees very friendly. Greens were great. Front nine was in better shape than the back nine as the back needed some serious mowing. Will recommend.
