Overall good, challenging course

We had a good time. We're not great golfers. We play to have fun. The only real drawback was getting booked behind a scramble with no delay between us and their last group. Took us 5½ hours to finish, but we weren't rushed. It's an hour away, so it'll be a little while before we make the trip again. Thankful for the hot deal!

Monsoon

Bought “hot deal” through golf now so there is a no cancellation policy. Rain all day from hurricane remnants and bear creek would not rain check us so we played on the wettest course we’ve ever played on. Also got snide remarks from the staff in pro shop, which was uncalled for. I’m done booking w golf now due to their poor cancellation policy and I’ll never play bear creek again. We don’t need course staff attitudes from that place. . We were the only group on the course.

Wait a week: Greens topped

Was NOT told that greens were recently topped!

Don’t believe a course should charge full-fee if it’s not in normal condition, especially greens since they produce half of STROKES.

Greens were grey-ish, fast, but not depositing sand on the ball; certainly not green or normal.

Some tee boxes need attention; and parts of course need to recover from excessive water later week. Fairways mostly in good condition. Roughs were okay.

POP was slow, nearly 5 hours mid-day on a Thursday.

Dried out

I like the course, but it's a little rough around the edges. The bunkers are pretty inconsistent- some were playable, some were not in great shape because there was 1 rake for the entire bunker and, accordingly, the bunker looked like a child's sandbox (the one in front of 13 green looks like it hasn't been tended to in a long time). Also, when I made the turn, i had to play behind a sixsome that they put out in front of me on Hole 10.

Really in nice shape, and really nice staff

Thank you for a really fun day of golf on Tuesday! From the time we walked in the door everyone was so nice. Nice late model golf cart with features by GPS. And the greens were really a nice shape. We had a blast! Thank you again.

Fast Greens

Was really impressed with the fairways and green speeds the only room for improvement would be changing tee boxes more often especially the white tee boxes which get the most use.

Surprise Pairing

Love the course and gorgeous day.

Upon arrival, we were notified we would be paired with a unknown twosome. Normally not an issue but one of the players was a septuagenarian with a 50 yard max swing. Nice fellow but the pace of place was maddening.....
