Bear Creek Golf Club

This is a nice course with great view and friendly staff. Having said that this is also a very challenging course.

Greens fast and true (1 or 2 had divot repair issues). This is a must play but the pace was a strain... hard to keep in a rhythm or tempo.

Overall in good
Shape fairways still not completely green must be because of cold early spring. Greens are good

6:48 Tee Time and round took 5 hours. There were about 5 groups in front of us and 3 of them were fivesomes. Never seen anything like it. Will not play this course again.

Good value on golf now for 18 with a cart. The staff is not that great though, some are really nice while others should be fired. Be careful when setting a tee time in the prime golf hours. They have a tendency to put to many groups out on the course at once and you cant even finish your match.

It was a good value play. Rental clubs were not good and made the round a little less enjoyable. I thought overall the experience was fine, nothing special. Some nice scenic holes, lots of homes but not much danger of hitting into them.

Challenging enough and in decent condition. Priced correctly.

I really do love this course. But it took 2 hrs and 40 minutes to play 9 holes at 2pm on a Friday afternoon because we were stuck behind a foursome with zero etiquette. This has been a problem at Bear Creek in the past. I was hoping it would have improved. People, it's okay to be bad a golf, but it's not okay to be bad and slow. Where are the Marshall's?

Front wasn't too bad but at turn we waited 20 min before hitting and each hole after that waited 5 to 10. Poor job by the Marshall

I will start off by saying I do like the course, it's in pretty good shape and challenging (from the back tees) This is definitely a pro and con type of course. The pros: Nice course, you will use all the clubs in your bag if you play the back tees, It was a great value with golf now.
The cons: They kind of cram the tee times together, we had to wait about ten minutes for a golf cart, slow pace of play because of this (this is something I usually dont mind too much except for the pressure from the group behind you who thinks your group is the one being slow) There are houses everywhere and their on course restroom facilities were locked. The marshall did not talk to the slower groups to try to speed them up a bit.

Love the layout of the course, challenging enough course to make you want to come back

I like this course a lot. It offers an average golfer a chance for a few pars.

First off, this is a very good golf course. We just happen to pick the day of a Junior Golf Tournament and a frost delay of 1.5 hours. We paid greens fees at the golf course, not golf now. Kudos for calling us and letting us know we would be 1 hour delayed. However when we saw what was happening which was the junior golfers were very very very slow and backed up, we asked if we could get a rain check. Answer: NO, so they put us off the 10th tee behind a foursome who were behind the juniors. Played hole 10 in 10 minutes, than waited on 11 for 30 minutes. The foursome in front quit, and the 2some playing with us quit. We played hole 11, went to 12 and the juniors were backed up beyond belief. The course marshall saved the day. He gave us a rain check on the spot. The only problem I see is in the clubhouse they could have avoided all the bad feelings with so many golfers and give rain checks. I would have been happy, and leaving with a good feeling that the course really cares about its golfers. There are so many golf courses around that are as fun to play as Bear Creek I would have chosen to ban the course after this incident; however as I stated the Course Marshall saved the day and I will be back. In fact I played their last week and had a great experience, once we played through the sixsome in front of us.

This is a nice course and can be enjoyed by any level of golfer. Play the gold tees if you want to use every club in your bag. The card says 7010 yards and it has to be close. The fairway bunkers are in play on most holes unless you play from the white tees and then you can fly them. Course was in good shape for March but will be better when everything starts growing! It took 5 hours to play which is WAY too long but that is how it is at BC. I think they need to spread the tee times out some and stop overbooking.

Although the course was dormant , the design was excellent and provided challenges and rewards.

Great golf course. Challenging course but a very scenic environment with wildlife around the course which is a nice change. Staff was very friendly and the club house is very nice and relaxing after the round. I would recommend the Bear Creek Golf Course to anyone.

One of my favorites in the St. Louis area. Only gripe I have is that there's a ton of houses that can potentially be struck.

Booked golfnow on a rare 60 degree day in DECEMBER! Had a 1:30pm tee time at Bear Creek, so showed up at 12:50pm (there was about 8 cars in the entire lot so course was pretty much to ourselve) and I was ready for some golf.

We tell the guy behind the counter our tee time and that it is through golfnow and he chuckles and tells us that we need to wait for the other 2 people in our 4some and that we can tee off at 1:30pm when they arrive. So, we asked since there was no one on the course if we could just go ahead and play by ourselves (which any other course is fine with because there are no other tee times scheduled) however, he says no. Now on a normal day with tee times it could make sense bc we might cause issues if they are booked up but that was far from the case. So we asked really? This guy then proceeds to tell us that he can't allow that because they have to make it "inconvenient for us since they don't make any money on our golfnow.com tee time, that way maybe next time to avoid this inconvenience we will book through them." WOW, he seriously told us that!!

Well obviously golfnow.com brings you business or else you wouldn't use them, so if it is such a big deal that they have a few times per week that they keep the money on then quit using them!!! O yea that's right they bring you a ton of business! So it was quite hilarious and I will not be going back to bear creek anytime soon even though I do like the course, the guy was that ridiculous when the course was EMPTY!! I will continue to use golfnow.com as it is a GREAT site and way to get cheap tee times just not at Bear Creek!

Enjoyed playing this course as every hole was different bringing various elements of your game into play.

Course in good shape for November. Tee boxes were up on many holes to preserve the grass. Bunkers could use to be updated with fresh sand as many were hard making it difficult to hit out of.

Played end of October and the course was still in great shape. Green conditions were still well maintained. The course posts a lot of discounts on Golf Now. Com
