Thank you for the 5-star review it is greatly appreciated! Please visit us again soon.
Great Value, Excellent Greens
Greens and tee boxes in excellent conditions. Friendly staff and beverage cart seemed to always be available at the right time. It was a hot day. Starter at first tee and saw the marshall/ranger on the front side and back side of the round. Very SLOW play but the marshall did nothing to move play along. 6 hour + round of golf. Unacceptable.
Thank you for your review. We apologize about the pace of play but so happy you found our staff and course to be excellent. We hope to see you again soon.
A few issues with the cart paths otherwise no complaints
Thank you for the review! We have been working very hard on the cart paths and am sure next time you visit you will be pleased with the improvements.
Nice course - spring is finally coming!
The course was in pretty good shape for the lack of spring (cool to cold weather until just recently). The greens had been aerated about 3 weeks ago and there was still some bumpiness. The greens were a little slow - probably due to the poor weather, but rolled well. I had a little bit of a challenge reading the greens! Fairways were dry as it has not rained for over a week. The tee boxes could be mowed a little tighter. All-in-all, had a very pleasant time and the course was fair when I did my part - which was only occasionally.
Thanks for the feedback. Come back and join us for around again soon.
First time in a while
Although it’s been a few years since playing here, the course is still beautiful and challenging. The staff was nice and the pace of play was timely. I will definitely be back.
We are so happy you enjoyed your time here at Bear Creek. Come again soon!
Thanks for the review, Robert! We hope to see you back soon.
Good value for the money.
We always enjoy playing at Bear Creek. Friendly staff & a challenging course. A must for every golfer.
Thanks! We hope to see you back!
Very nice course design
Will play this course again. Greens design is very cool. The tee boxes need some work. The greens were aerated but that's a good thing. Staff very friendly and liked the layout of the holes.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your business and hope to see you soon.
It's ok
This is the closest thing I have to a "home course". I've been playing there fairly regular for 4 years. the fairways and tee boxes are in good condition. The greens however are slacking and have been for a few years. They are very choppy and it seems there are always sandy patches and the aeration holes never smooth out completely. That being said, it usually is a decent value for the money during the week. Other than the greens, my biggest complaint is the pace of play. I have a 4.5 handicap and still struggle to finish a round under 5 hours there. Overall, if its under 25$ its an okay deal. I don't like to pay more than that here though.
Thank you so much for your review and your compliments. We have recently purchased a weidmann greens aerator and a Turfco spin top dresser that will much improve tee aeration process and the greens top dressing of sand. We have also opened up a lot of tree area to make pace of play faster for errant shots. Hope to have you back soon.
I wished when I booked a tee time at 3:04pm for 18 holes with four golfers. That they had leagues starting at 5:00pm
and we could only play nine. Instead they took our money and when we we made the turn to tee off on hole 10 the said that they had a woman’s league starting at 5:00 and we had to go to hole 14 to continue playing. But when we got to hole 14 a high school team was playing very slow The course needs to honest w/it’s customers up front. It appears that the superintendent was more worried about money then the quality of play not happy.
Thank you for the review! We apologize for the pace of play on the course. We have since closed open play tee times before leagues. Hope to see you back soon.
in good shape for early march
greens were in good shape
fairways good
has plenty of tee boxes to match your ability
course layout is good with some very difficult holes and some moderate holes. #1 is pretty easy, then it gets tougher
Thank you for the review! We hope to see you back soon.
A great buy.
This course is well maintained, challenging & fun to play. One of my Top 5 in St. Louis.

Course was a 4+ condition =need a marshall to move players along
Played the course for years. Only problem was water in the sand traps.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review our course. We greatly appreciate all of the feedback. Our maintenance crew is constantly working on the sand traps to help with the water issue so our apologies on that. It is a work in progress that we are addressing. As well as getting a marshall out there. We hope you enjoyed your time with us and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you! Come back soon.
Pace of play still an issue...
Buddy and I booked online, great price and course great given the $36 riding cost. It was just the 2 of us and 2 ahead of us...yet we waited and waited on most holes... probably could have finished 35 minutes sooner.
I will certainly play again, but am concerned about the waiting.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the pace of play. We have been working hard to improve. Please come out and play again soon.

We look forward to seeing you again soon!

No Heads Up
Using GolfNow I usually get pretty good deals. I assumed a Thursday round in the heat of the day - T-Time being 1248hrs. I thought maybe this was why it was cheap. Instead it turns out- there is a mid - week tournament going on. Took over 6 hours to play 18 holes for my dad and I... Id rather of played at a different course.
Enjoy this course
Have played this course a lot this summer. Enjoy it and keep going back!
