Great course but super slow play
This is a great course but it took forever on each hole to wait for the group ahead of us.
Challenge target golf
It's not "grip it and rip it" here. This course makes you think. the greens were firm and fast today. Last time here they were furry and slow.
For the golfnow price it was an excellent value. Give it a go.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course and coming out to play. We appreciate your tips to our future golfers and look forward to having you back out at our course again soon!
Another Nice Course In Wentzville
A nice, clean course. Tee boxes are worn this late in the season, but the staff has planted new sod in an attempt to repair them. Greens were solid and held an approach shot. Course was also a bit dry due to no rain this month. Quite a few holes were played between residential areas. Overall, a good design and I will try to get back and play there again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our course and your experience with us. We appreciate the feedback and special tips you offered to our future golfers. We look forward to seeing you again!
This course has a convenient location for West county st. Louis
The greens were slow but the pace of play was good and each hole was different and a challenge.
Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear that overall you enjoyed your experience with us and we look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
great course
I am a big fan of this course it is close to home.
Thank you very much for your review and recommendation! We are happy to hear you enjoy our course and look forward to seeing you again!
Good value
Bear Creek is an average suburban course that can play a little long from the tips. It has some nice elevation changes and some interesting holes that require a little planning. The rough runs a little long, but overall the course is maintained ok. Bunkers vary from parking lot hard to soft and powdery. For the money, Bear Creek is a good value.
Thank you for taking the time to rate our course and provide feedback. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your round and appreciate the tips you can offer to future customers. Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
Very nice course!! Horribly managed golf tee times way to busy
Well I live 2.2 miles away I quit coming to this very convient course because a normal round of golf should be 3-4 hrs not 6 plus. Well every hole had a group of 4 or so waiting each hole tool 20-25 minutes to play. Well 2 years ago my father in law and my self played on a hot summer day think 2 people should be 3 hrs max well 4hrs in and skipping the last 6 holes was ridiculous. Also I just played on Sunday at 10.56 with 2 other people and we finished at 5 pm what a joke.the staff is very nice and the cart ladies but trying to pinch every buck to scramble people in is far from a pleasant fun golf outing. I would say you should go to InnsBrook and take some lessons. They have a wonderful facility with a fantastic restaurant and bar while making sure the rounds are at least 11 minutes apart. Where you never are waiting! I understand a wait is going to happen now and then hit not for all 18 holes. They want to make the outing nice also there round is about 5-7 dollars less and is a 5 star course. So I travel 15-35 miles now to play because the convient course 3 stop lamps away is an all day unpleasant, waste of time and money. I hope you take this survey into consideration there is a ton of people that feel the same way. They will never return golf is a fun awesome sport but 6hrs is not fun totally can't get a rhythm going . I hate to be negative but someone needs to let you know to make it better for customers.
We appreciate you coming out again even though you felt your previous experience with us was less than satisfactory. We would like to mention that a 6+ hour round is not our standard time and survey results lately have actually come back with positive feedback regarding our pace of play. We have worked very hard to improve this issue over the 2015 season. On your particular day of play, we had an outing of about 25 people playing in front of you with a skill level that did not maintain our ideal pace of play. We worked very hard to keep the pace moving, although we can only do so much. We apologize that your round was not at a pace of your preference and hope you will give our course another chance. General Manager, Kirk Porter, would like to hear from you and invite you back out to play if you'd like to give him a call. Thank you for playing at Bear Creek Golf Club, and we hope to see you again soon!
Greens
greens were pretty rough due to a lot of play not real sure but they were in good shape at all
We have been working very hard this year to keep the course in good condition after the rain and traffic we've had. Glad you still enjoyed your experience with us and we appreciate your recommendation! Thanks for playing Bear Creek - we'll see you again soon!
Thunderstrom
Course just got hit w/2in of rain that morning so not much u can do about that. Just wish cart paths weren't flooded. Worth what we paid.
The rain has been pretty rough on us this year but we are working hard to keep the course in the best shape possible! Glad you were able to come out and enjoy it despite the amount of water on the course and that you enjoyed your experience. We hope to see you again soon!
Great day
Friendly staff, reasonable pricing for the amenities, mostly-well maintained course. There has been a lot of rain and some tee reconstruction appears to be happening. Rolling terrain was nice to look at. Overall we had a great time.
We do have some tee reconstruction going on that we are very excited about on Hole #13. Once finished, there will be a new forward tee for ladies and seniors. We are very happy to hear that you had a great time and hope you will come back out for another great round soon. Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
What is happening?
I love coming to play this course. Always a challenge and at a great price. This season has been the WORST as far as the condition of the greens. I understand that for some reason people cannot seem to fix their own ball marks, but it really comes down to the course to try and monitor this and remind people that this is a matter of respect to the course. It has gotten worse and worse and I am almost to the point of not returning due to this problem. Please do something about this! This course has a great layout and all the potential to be great once again.
We have tried various outlets to get this issue out to our players. It is posted on our website and on every receipt handed out when a player checks in. We have even written articles in our newsletters about it as well. We are trying to encourage our players to repair their ball marks but ultimately, it comes down to players such as yourself to tell others about it and have the same mentality as you do to resolve the issue. We hope to see a change in this soon, just as much as you do. Thank you for being a loyal customer to Bear Creek- we look forward to seeing you again!
Hot Day
Plenty of tall trees on many holes or there were a couple of holes with houses lining them so straight shots are definitely helpful.
Yes, straight shots are definitely helpful on some of our holes. We appreciate you giving this tip to future golfers who visit our course and appreciate your recommendation. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Round in Bear Creek
Very nice course. We played from the black tee, long and challenging.
Every hole has something you will remember.
Only the bunkers were not in very good conditions. Sand was too firm.
I will play again, if I will have a chance.
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you had an overall good experience when you visited. Our bunkers were in pretty rough shape after all the heavy rains we've had over the past few weeks but we have added over 100 tons of sands in the past week. Hopefully you have a chance to come out again soon to see the improvement in their conditions. Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
rainy day
I prepaid and got 4 for $15 each person. Played it a few times before. Nobody was on the course because it was a rainy day, but they had carts ready and dried off for us. Staff was friendly, and good and drink were quick and cheap.
That's great that you were able to get a good deal and come out and play our course! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with our staff and the food/beverage services. We look forward to having you back again!
Not received well!
Did not appear that they really wanted golf now players. Also, ran out of carts and did not inform anyone tee times were running 30 behind when you checked in. Marshal on us all day, even though we were all waiting on each tee box.
We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your experience with us. The day of your round we had two golf groups booked that day which is most likely the reason for it being so busy. We hope that you will return to our course and give it another chance. Thanks for playing Bear Creek!
Good condition considering amount of rain
Course was in good shape considering the monsoons we've been having. Play was a little slow because of 3 some ahead.
Thank you for understanding the conditions we have been facing and acknowledging the hard work we have put in to maintain the course through it. We are glad you enjoyed your round and look forward to having you out again soon. Thanks for playing Bear Creek!
Challenging course
I enjoyed my round as always- a moderately tough course with a variety of different challenges facing you on each hole.
My only complaint- the bunkers. This course is always in good shape, and you get a good value for the money, but they can never get the bunkers right. The bunkers never seem to have sand in them and are very poorly kept. I tried raking a few that I played out of but really had a tough time making a difference because there was so little sand.
Other than that, the fairways were great and the greens were fine as well, and I always enjoy getting away to Wentzville to play this course.
Thank you for your review! We agree, the bunkers are not in their best shape at the moment. All of the constant rain this season has been very hard on them and our staff working hard to maintain them. But we are trying as best as we can in keeping up with Mother Nature! We are happy you enjoy playing our course and look forward to having you out for another round soon!
Fun Course
This course is a fun course but with the recent rain it was very soggy, the rough was very very thick and unkempt, and the greens were a tad slow, but like I said, it's a fun course and will be back when it dries up some more.
Yes we have been hit hard by the rain this month. This June has been the wettest on record! We are hoping the course will dry up soon so we can bounce back on the condition of the course. Thank you for playing! We look forward to seeing you out on the course again!
Great course for the price
We weren't sure what to expect when we booked as it was our first time and the price was so reasonable. We were pleasantly surprised. Nice course and friendly staff. Can't wait to play there again.
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your first experience with us and look forward to having you out many, many more times. Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
Selective Value at the Right Time-Not Always
Layout is challenging as long as you choose the correct tee box. Nice variety of holes as well. The greens were bumpy and slow so they did not match the caliber of the course. The bunkers had very little sand and were basically hard pan. I signed up for 18 but only did nine as the course stuck a bunch of players in front of me at the turn trying to avoid a couples league that had started after me on the front nine. If the greens were faster and the bunkers well raked, this would be a very nice course. The management could do a little better job of managing the pace of play.
Thank you for your review! We apologize about the mishaps you experienced on the course. The rain has been challenging us tremendously this year, especially in the upkeep of our bunkers. We do, however, appreciate your feedback and suggestions and will relay that to our managing staff. We appreciate that you would recommend this course in the future and hope your next visit with us will be a more positive experience! Thanks for playing at Bear Creek!
We apologize for your wait during your play. We are experiencing a high volume of golfers at this time of year who are itching to get out and play now that the weather has gotten nicer. We hope that as the season progresses you will be able to come out on a day when pace of play is better. Thank you for taking the time to review our course and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
