Tee times were too close together, we quit after 9 holes. It took 3 hours and 34 minutes to complete. Many holes we waited 20 minutes between each shot

Bear Creek
Course is in great shape and a must play. Need to have a Marshall drive around on the weekdays. There was a fivesome that slowed down the pace of play for everyone.

Thank you for your review. We have been working towards getting a marshal on the weekdays. If you ever notice a five some please call the pro shop and we will send someone to break it up. We hope to see you again soon!
Pace of play needs to be monitored
Its not enjoyable playing 9 holes that took 3 hours and 15 minutes. I have played a ton of rounds here and when you finish getting a credit for the other nine, and no one is on hole 16-18, that is an issue needing to be fixed by staff. I'm very disappointed.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Bear Creek Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We have been working hard to get a good pace of play. One thing we have done is cut the grass lower, along with having a marshal and starter on weekends and busier days. We take your feedback seriously, as this has been one of our top priorities. We hope you'll try us again, and let us know how it goes.

BC getting better
Great layout and staff. Bunkers look better, but still unplayable.
Thank you for visiting us at Bear Creek Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Excellent Course, Awesome Value
I drove 50 minutes to play this course for the first time on my day off. Just wanted to try something different and got a Golf Now "Hot Deal". This course exceeded ALL expectations. Greens were in perfect shape, not a blemish other than a few unfixed divots. The gentlemen at the pro shop was super friendly and gave me a course guide to help navigate the hazards. Tee boxes were perfectly trimmed and fairways were in excellent shape. I would drive 50 minutes each week to play this course, time permitting. If you live in St. Louis metro you have to play this course. 10/10 from me. (I shot a +22 but it had nothing to do with the course).
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Bear Creek Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Horrible pace of play.
Course was nice, staff was friendly but pace of play was horrible. They squeeze too many tee times together for a weekend. We got a rain check for the back nine holes. It took 3 hours to play 8 holes.

Pace of play today was outstanding
Pace of play today was outstanding, the course was in good shape and the staff was friendly, The whole round and course could have been outstanding but wasn't because the bunkers need sand in them. This would make it a great course!
Hello, Thank you for visiting us at Bear Creek Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
a good walk not spoiled
played here off and on for years. Normally course conditions can be iffy. Today however conditions were excellent. After the first three holes greens were were smooth and fast, first three suffered from to much shade and lack of air movement, almost impossible to prevent.
Plan to make this a regular stop for the remainder of the year.
Thank you for your kind words! Our maintenance/grounds crew have been working hard to keep our course in the best shape, and it's always nice when someone notices. Hope to see you again, soon!
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We're sorry that you experienced a slow pace of play. We have noticed more beginner golfers than normal and have had our marshals working hard to keep the pace up. Holes 2, 3, and 4 are our most difficult holes (known as "The Lair"), so if that is where you noticed a slow down, it usually picks up after that area. We hope to see you again.

Bear Creek always a treat
Bear Creek has traditionally positioned itself among the top tier public courses in the St. Louis area, 2021 is no different. Why? Simple- management takes care of this course year in and year out. Don't be surprised with cartpath only after significant rain, because they will always protect this course from unnecessary tear and damage from tee to greens. The only negative point would be the sand bunkers, most all of them still need more work. But otherwise, Bear Creek does not disappoint. Look forward to more rounds there this year.
Thanks for taking the time to review the course! We hope to see you out here again soon!
