Best course in wentzville, lake St. Louis area

Even under extreme temp this week. Greens were in good shape, firm and fast but still able to receive a proper wedge shot.

Hole 10 fairway is being improved so tee boxes were moved up to allow sod to take. Noticed were posted almost everywhere.

Clubhouse staff and management always go the extra mile for guest. Grounds crew works hard for a proper setup.

League in evening is always busy. My son and I enjoyed a nice round this Monday.

Range has good balls at good price. Putting and chipping green is always in good shape.

Great condition

The course is in great condition. Lots of good challenge. A good test for power hitters and positional play, use a wide diversity of shots.

nice course, a few bare spots in fairway

This is a nice layout, greens are fast and true. Some of the fairways have bare spots, but I just moved my ball over to grass. Staff was great, carts have GPS which helps for distance and blind spots on some drives.

First Time Playing

Baer Creek Golf Club in the 1st Heat Wave of 2025

Enjoyed the layout, and the course conditions. Need to book a noon or later tee time on a Monday, due to the weekly "senior scramble" that goes on at about 8am every Monday morning. Tee boxes, course amenities, water cooler stations and restrooms were available. Beverage cart would have been a plus with it being so hot outside. Overall, enjoyed the round and will play again next time I visit family in Wentzville.

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?
