The course was in very good shape
Bunkers need a lot of work. Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were average.
Nice course but slow play
I was impressed with the course layout and conditions, but the pace of play was extremely slow. Teed off at 7:20 hoping to have a relatively quick round and finished around noon. It was the longest round I have played this year (out of 50+).
challangin course. good greens and fairways
The greens and fairways were in great shape but the t-boxes need some attention. fast play and challanging
Way overbooked
I played this course one other time this year on a Monday afternoon and it was pretty empty. This time the course was way overbooked. They had booked a tournament on a Saturday of all days. They had four groups a piece lined up to tee off of hole 1 and hole 10. They can use all the excuses in the world that they tourney ran long, etc etc etc. The fact is they know how long tourneys run and they decided to overbook because they are greedy. It's called respect and their disrespect not just for me but for all the golfers that had to wait to tee off still bothers me. It's bad business.
Course was overbooked and pace of play was slower than I have ever played.
Course was in good shape and it should have played at a resonable rate of time. The course was overbooked and I quit after playing 15 holes in 5.5 hours.
Golf courses really don't like Golf Now.
I was more than disappointed when the course would not accept a rain check from a previous Golfnow reservation as payment for the most recent visit. It's not a coupon, it's a voucher for service that has already been paid for. Makes no sense to me that they should care how the reservation was made when using a rain check.
Nice value
Course was in good shape. Disappointing that we teed off 20+ minutes late due to overbooking. This caused very slow play.
Very tough course, but also very beautiful.
Course is very tough, but in perfect condition. Love the zoysia fairways and the bent grass greens. Make sure to repair your ball marks on the greens, so they will stay in great shape. Would definately play this again next time in the St. Louis area.
great course and challenging. spread out tee times. tend to wait on every hole.
2 is hard and 17 is a blast and 11 is my favorite w good bomb off tee
Driving Range too close to fairway.
This course winds through a subdivisions with houses on almost every hole. If you are looking for a lot of "nature" this is not the course for you. One hole is too close to the driving range and the fairway is littered with range balls. Moving the driving range or setting up a fence to keep the balls off the fairway would be a great idea. It took 5 plus hours to play... no marshalls were to be found.
Conditioning terrific for middle of July
Back nine more interesting. Course generally played fast, greens good. We got out at 6:30 am and there were foursomes already on the course. Held up first two holes; after that we had clear sailing. I would rank the course just a notch below Far Oaks, Stonewolf and The Bluffs, but better than Eagle Springs, Fox Creek.
great course
Great deal and great condition. Just told us we need to be on hole 15 by 5:30 because of league play. Wasn't a problem for us. Would book it any day of the week.
Course Conditions
I have never seen the course conditions so well done. Congrats to the Course Superintendent for doing a great job! Staff was great to us as well. We will be back for sure.
Slow pace!
The pace of play was terrible and there were no Marshalls to get people going. Terrible round of golf at 5 1/2 hour pace. Won't be back!
They were very unreasonable given the circumstance.
I booked a 4 some for $46 each which is a 5% discount over the direct rate. I did it because it's easier to click here instead of booking direct with the course. Two brothers in our foursome had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency. Instead of charging us the difference between the discount rate and full rate, they insisted they could charge the 2 of us for all 4, and they DID! It cost $92 ea, the course was not crowded, we weren't costing them a dime by having to turn someone away. It was completely unreasonable, think twice about booking Bear Creek.
The course is in very good shape right now.
Fun course with great features, but for a marshaled course, the slow play was disappointing.
Good course
Only complaint is my golfnow tee time never shows up at this course and they act like its a hassle every time. Other than that, the course is always In good shape
very good shape, fairways green, nice greens
Had a great time. The course was in great shape. Played from the back tees, it was a challenge.
Consistently good conditions...
This course provides a good test of where you are with your golf game. Tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were nice. Greens rolled true and were in good shape. Bunkers were in good shape with decent sand. The girl in the clubhouse wanted to charge me 25 cents for a cup of ice water. Surely, they can't need every last quarter!
The course is in GREAT Shape!
Played on a Tuesday. Greens were soft and holding shots. With all the rain that we have had this Spring, this course is in really great shape. If you get a chance go and play. Looking forward to playing again real soon.
