Great course for the money

Great course for the money. Conditions were pretty good, greens felt very fast. Bunkers were under construction and some greens were in much better shape than others but overall great experience

Not playing here again for a while!

Pace of play is terrible, I was paired with a group that hit from the TIPS and we hit from the white, we were playing at a good pace but there were 3 groups of 2 behind us. why weren't they made into a 4 some? 80% of the sand traps you can't play out of, the are rocks and drainage sand. Many of the course bunders are empty of sand and filled wtih water. It was the first time, i've had the guy cutting the rough run over my ball. They were cutting the greens AS I WAS PUTTING. Didn't wat til I was finished, he just kept on the area behind me. Bottom line, I will play any other course before I go back there.

Great Experience at a great course

Honestly was a bit hesitant with Bear Creek as I had read reviews/heard that it was a very slow pace of play due to tee times booked 8 minutes apart, however, my experience was nothing like that. I was a single golfer paired with a threesome and the pace was great! There were a couple of instances where we had to wait like 2 minutes before teeing off, but you will experience that anywhere. Course was enjoyable, staff was friendly and was a great value at $29 for 18 and a cart on a Friday morning. The only knock was that some of the sand traps were under repairs but that honestly knocked a few strokes off of my game. Would definitely come play again.

Disappointed

I play here a few times a week. I’ve never had big issues. I got through 13 holes and it started raining. I went in for a rain check and they wouldn’t give one to me since I booked a hot deal through golf now.

So my question is now, will you guys give me a credit for the remainder 5 holes that I didn’t get to play??

Thank you so much for your review. We apologize that we were unable to give you a 5 hole raincheck at the time you came in. At the time our golf software was unable to issue a credit because your purchase was done on Golf Now. We have issued you a credit and it is ready to be picked up at the pro shop. Thank you again for playing at Bear Creek on a regular basis and we are looking forward to your next visit.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. You may have booked other course times through GolfNow and that is why you were able to obtain a raincheck. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

Had to get a rain check after 9 because it took 3 hours to get through 9. Second time I’ve had to do this at Bear Creek. They overbook.

Slow Pace

Extremely slow pace and lots of waiting around for being the 8th group of the day off the tee box. Two groups of 5 ahead allowed to play on a weekend morning.

Up grading course

Far the most part the course was nice, but they are up grading a lot of the sand bunkers and just general maintenance. Especially after a storm that went through a few days ago.

I would play this course again and recommend it to others. It's still a nice place to play.

returning to an old friend

Have played here often over the years, a good challenge sometimes tarnished in the past by iffy conditions. This year conditions are superb. Only small issue was tee blocks could stand to be mowed. A very small concern.

6 hours pace of play. Starter was completly useless as he is tryign to rush us to wait in the fairway. Marshalls we saw twice, said to tell groups ahead of us to speed up pace, but they never did. Only time we saw the cart girl on 1 fairway and 17 green. Not a good way to try and "get our extra Food & Beverage" dollars. 17 is a joke with the highway next to the fairway. Cars zipping by constantly. One car stopped, made a U-Turn, got out of his car, grabbed one of our balls in the fairway, got back in his car, and left.

Wont' come back to Bear Creek.

Very wet, little rough around the edges (standing water, bunkers were in terrible shape). Greens were great and fairways in good shape. All in all I had a great time.
