Place is getting better all the time.

So glad to see the hard work paying off at this course. Lots of trees cleaned up, new pieces of cart path, new drains put in all the bunkers, a few traps filled in. The course maintenance department head, Ben, is a great fit here. Thanks for all you guys do to keep improving.

Soso

Not too bad I guess for the time of season. Greens were rough and fuzzy but not too bad. Fairways were ok but most of the bunkers we’re unplayable although it appears that they have been working on them as they have have improved since a couple of weeks ago!

November Golf

Course is in good shape for late fall. There was a group of 5 in front of me that slowed down play dramatically. We just had snow a couple days prior and cart paths were slick. Hole 10 has some drainage issues in the fairway. Greens were in great shape. Always have fun at this course and staff is very friendly

First time good time

First time out to the course was worth it. It was cold, a bit windy, and very golfers were out there today. I really like the layout of a lot of the holes. Very well designed. Fairways were a bit thin and tee boxes were recently plugged so not ideal. However a bit expected for the time of year. I would happily play the course again considering the $30 price.

Good value Nice Course

Needed a place to play while visiting my son. I booked a single but asked the shop if he could pair me up with another group. Met three nice people thaT way. The course was in good condition pace of play was good. We did have a slow patch near the end of the front nine. But, the group ahead let as through at the turn. Nice interesting layout. I would play it again.

Cold Fall Day

Even though we had 24 hours of rain, the course was in great shape. It was slightly soggy in some spots but overall drainage was very good. I would of rated excellent for course condition, however, the bunkers looked more like water hazards and the one other one shot that were dry were like concrete. This course is a great value and a good use of all the clubs in your bag

Good Course at a fair price

Every green was in great shape. I was sticking shots all day. A few more yardage Mark's would have been helpful. Had the course to myself on the front nine. Very little waiting during a weekday.

Course was in good shape except for bunkers that for the most part had not been maintained and were lacking sand. Greens were very good and the rest of the course was in decent condition.

Worth the momey

It had been a few years since I played Bear Creek, only because of the pace of play. We teed off just before 7am and were finished in just under 4 hours. The last time I played there, it was closer to 6 hours. The course was in good shape, and the greens were a bit low, but consistent. It looks like they are in the process of bunker maintenance, so I won't complain about them. We'll definitely go back.

Labor Day

Played Labor Day morning. Pace of play was very slow. Guess that is expected on a holiday. Sand traps were full of water and dirt. Fairways and greens in good shape. Had a good time.
