Pathetic pace of play

Don't understand what is going on with cramming in tee times or what and not telling super slow people to pick it up or let faster people play thru but 6 hours is a joke on any busy weekend, no excuse it was fathers day, maybe 5 but 6 or over os absolutely ridiculous and I doubt I'll patronize this course again

Nice greens

Greens were in very nice shape. fairways were missing grass in areas. Mostly in areas where water looks to have been in excess.

Staff was very friendly.

Bear Creek Review

The greens were rolling very nice for all the rain this spring. Even being punched they had some good pace and held wedges very well. The tee boxes and fairways need some improvement and I also understand the course has gotten a lot of rain.

Also, didn’t enjoy the front desk gentlemen telling me they don’t really like when kids come out to play because they don’t want to be liable for them…. Not sure how else I could get my boys interested in playing the game of golf?

Pace of play

If you want to play 5 plus hours on 9 holes and wait 30 mins to tee off every hole this is the course for you! Will not be back.!!

Pace of play is TERRIBLE every single time we play here

Waited over an hour just to tee off, waiting 15-20 minutes between shots is the norm around here. Clear 8 hours off your schedule for this one

First Time Playing

Lovely course on a brisk and chilly morning

Had a great time at Bear Creek Golf Club. It’s a beautiful course with some challenging holes. Overall it's a great layout and design. The greens were fast compared to other courses I've played.
