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.

Late start

Showed up 30 minutes before my Saturday tee time. Didn't end up going off until 30 minutes after scheduled time because no one showed up to work the clubhouse. Real shame because you can tell the owner is putting in work to make the course nice and it killed the impression the folks I invited to play got after playing the first time. Hopefully the admin folks can get it together cause it's a nice spot.

Bear Creek was a nice course for the money. First time playing here. There were a few blind shots that I will know about next time.

Good for what it is

I played here with my wife and we had a great time. The course condition was fair and the greens were in a good condition. The only downside was (This would be a long term project but...) their cart path was atrocious and had TONS of pot holes/ditch that needed to be avoided.

Fitzgerald

Greens were in good shape and course overall is in pretty good shape. Miserably slow. Overbooked and waiting on every hole. No ranger to monitor slow play. Too hot for an over 5 hour round.

Snake!!!

The owner is a complete snake! Yes I read the fine print. But I can’t help the fact the fourth guy in our group baled morning of. But I had to pay for him. And he tells his employees to blame it on Golf Now. When I’ve been to many of course using this app. Not one time have I had to pay for someone that didn’t show. I left my number Sunday, called again Monday. But the snake still hasn’t called me back. You can take that round and try to give it to the next guy that might not show up. And from what your employees have said. Customers aren’t the only people you take complete advantage of!

Diagrams

No course diagram on the scorecard. No hole diagrams on the tee boxes. Yardage markers not prominent. If you do not play the course regularly, you are basically hitting blind.

Speed of play

They need a ranger to keep speed of play moving. For the first time ever we had 5 in our group, two were women and we kept getting held up by the foursome in front of us which held up a boat load of others.

Great Beginners Course

This course is excellent for beginners and people who would want a leisure game of golf. The greens were slightly fast and the cart paths were pretty damaged with several large potholes. Nonetheless, an excellent round of golf was had with a few challenges.

Nice course

This is a nice course, not an over abundance of sandtraps, most yraps are well maintainef, greens were reasonaby good, speed was decent, layout is confusing at times, i would suggest using a cart due to distance between some holes, look forward to golfing here again next time i visit.

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE

I’m an avid golfer and this was by far the worst golf experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. So bad it last 1 hole, got paired with a guy who had never held a golf club before. We pulled up to hole 2 and there were 6 groups on the hole. Staff was incompetent and delusional. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!!
