Great course layout and great price through GolfNow.
Really nice course layout and overall in good shape. Burmuda fairways. Has some standing water issues but usually doesn't come into play. Most sand traps have recently be renovated but still need some TLC to take this course to the Excellent level in my oppionon.
Bear Creek
Bear Creek has been on my list of favorite for 3 years now. Its always well maintained and remains a challenging course. For someone that only golfs in the $25 - $40 range this course offers excellent value for your experience.
Beautiful Course
Very busy course. Not for the new golfer as you are frequently pushed from the group behind you. Take lots of extra balls because you don't have time to search for lost ones
Good course, very slow play time on weekends
I'll reiterate what several other reviewers have already said. This course is extremely slow on the weekend and they over book it. We had a 11:15am tee time and there were 4 groups in front of us. We didn't tee off until almost 11:40am. The starter said that there was dew on the ground that caused the delay (i.e. he lied). The group in front of us was 4 hackers that played extremely slow. There were no marshals on the course to speed play up.
The course is very close to houses on several holes. I'm very shocked that the course designers/home builders got away with this. You can clearly see many golf ball holes in people's vinyl siding. Houses are in play for high handicappers.
Otherwise - the course has a really fun design and is challenging. I really enjoy the layout and it's kept in good shape. For me, I will continue playing it during the week or really late during the weekend.
Slow and Slower
Stay clear of this course on the weekends, they way overbook and then don't have a marshal on the course to keep thinks moving. Course has lots of expensive houses around the fairways so watch your drives.
Skewed perspective
This was my first time playing the course. Due to a heavy rain the night before (1+ inches), the greens having been recently aerated, and it being a day with high winds it's difficult to get a real feel for the course. I can see on a dry day the course would be a lot more fun than it was. The elements of soggy fairways and high winds pushing the ball made hitting any shot a challenge.
The fairways are tight and require attention to landing zones as the bunkers are placed in appropriate places. Some greens are heavily protected by deep, well maintained bunkers. Due to the heavy rain though they were flat and compressed. Not much you can do about that. The greens looked well maintained with very few ball marks that I could see. Granted all the aeration holes may have been masking it but I couldn't see any extra damage.
It's a very suburban course. There are houses lining many of the holes. Nothing gives you more confidence in the upcoming drive like a sign on many holes reminding you you are responsible for any damage to private property. That being said the holes are designed well and have great landscaping. I played during peak fall color and found myself looking around at the scenery as much as the course. I hope to get back and play again when the weather is more cooperative and the greens are not aerated.
Loved the course
This course is above aveage in maintenance. It is not to tight for average players yet is challenging.
This course is good
The course is good but they allow way too many tee times. We had 4 groups waiting on the first tee. They must let people go out every 4 minutes or something.
OK Course Slow pace of play
Not one of my favorite courses, Plays harder than it looks. Some of the fairways are lined with expensive houses that most likely have expensive windows. Pace of play at this course is always slow but the weekends are really bad. The book tee times close together and when a member shows up they always get them on the course so the spacing is really bad. Weekend round of 18 holes is close to 6 hours.
tough but fun
course was in great shape. we really enjoyed our day. looking forward to playing there again. hopefully i shoot a little better next time
Fun To Play
The course offered a variety of hole lay-outs which made it fun to play. Cost through Golf Now was very reasonable. Would play again
Bear Creek is a very nice course I would recommend it to anyone I love I love very fair I thinko
Very nice golf course prices are excellent and is definitely in very good condition each and every time I've gone there!
Challenging course
Harder course in the area. Condition great! Good value
Double booked
They double booked and moved our time up 30 minutes and behind a bachelor party. It took 51/2 hours to play. Horrible. Our twosome asked to go ahead even though it was open and they said no. The course was in good condition but I will think twice before I go back.
