Great course. Challenging greens

Played an early morning round after days of hard rain. Course was a bit sloppy but we knew that going in. Awesome layout with super challenging greens. Rolled true and fast even with wet conditions. Pro shop attendant was very cordial and helpful.

Horrendous Pace

My wife and I played as a twosome; usually we can get in a round in just under 3 hours playing ready golf. This round was close to 4.5 and no Marshall in site the entire round. Likely will not come back.

Ok

I have played this course several times. Something that I just noticed is they have removed all the ball washers from the course. Not one ball washer. I had to wet my towel at the turn in order to clean off my golf ball after every hole. If they're not going to have ball washers at every hole like it should be, then put the ball washer/club washer attachment on the carts

Pace of play

The staff overbook this course and don’t have Marshall’s monitoring it. It took us 5 hours to play 16 holes. We didn’t even finished because it would probably taken another hour. Will not be coming back unless the course is empty or free.

Annoying with guys cutting multiple greens while trying to putt or hit in. But layout is challenging & fun. Love this spot but need some tweaks to a top in the area. Still go check it out.

Bear creek golf club

Jackpot of a TeeOff deal time. $32 for two people to play a round of 18 at a quality course like this is amazing. Country club course at a great price. Would take that deal every time.

Great course a little over priced.

Love this course. Great layout and challenging holes. Hopefully you don’t run into the Marshall. Playing a scramble with a Firestone and we all golf frequently, so we were ahead of pace being that we’re scrambling. The starter sends a group immediately out after us, so this ends up screwing us as we are being pushed by a threesome who could drive the ball (almost hitting us and playing the whites) but had terrible short game and we’re taking so much time on the greens. We were waiting for them to ask about playing through but us waiting for them to play through would have meant us waiting 5-10 minutes on the tee box when we could continue our pace. Unfortunately, the Marshall hears their side and decides we are the ones at fault and causes us to stop playing MID HOLE to let this threesome go through and tells us we need to let people play through in the future if we’re playing slow… mind you they never said anything to us and earlier in the round the Marshall drove by and had nothing to say about our pace. Then we finish our hole finally and what happens? We are waiting for them just as much as they were waiting for us but we are the ones who are at fault and the Marshall decides to blame us and confront us saying it is our fault, while this group was hitting into us due to errant shots when we are not even in their line but we let it go. A Marshall must do his job and keep everyone happy. He took his power used it in a negative way just because he saw they were waiting on one hole… makes no sense. How can you enforce golf etiquette from a complaint form someone who doesn’t follow golf etiquette. Very disappointed in that Marshall and him arguing with us to not hear our side of how things went. If I spend 200+ dollars to golf, I should be given respect especially if I’m respecting the course and the game of golf.

Typical day at Bear Creek

Per usual, the pace of play at Bear Creek was horrendous. 3 hours for 9 holes is ridiculous. My playing partner and I didn’t even bother playing the back 9. But the course was in decent shape and fun time

Luke, thanks for your feedback and your 4 star review, we can always do better. We apologize for your slower pace of play. On Sunday we had our Irish Bear Open, with 144 players on cart path only, taking the entire course. If you played on Monday, we had our senior scramble with 2 more foursomes than expected. With 75 degree temperatures and the next 3 days calling for rain, we were busy. Please try us again another day when the traffic is slower and the pace is much better.

Course was extremely wet and was not best conditions to allow play. One bridge was flooded and had water going over the bridge from the creek.
