Great design and good conditions.
Probably the best condition course I have played this long hot summer. Really like the design. It was a little slow, but I think that may have been the groups in front versus overloading the course. The Marshall did eventually talk the the group ahead and pace picked up substantially.
Excellent condition
Course was in great condition. Nice layout but they do seem to have a lot of greens surrounded by bunkers. Only complaint was pace of play was slow, but I think that was down to the specific group ahead of us.
Over Priced for Value
Paying almost $100 for the condition of the course and pace of play, not worth it. I will say after 5h and still on 15th hole, they did send some complimentary drinks out with one of there staff members. Best part of the day!
Course in great condition considering the drought. Layout was good, only downside was the distraction of jets landing while you were playing.
Good management, disrespectful members
My overall experience of the East course was good. Conditions were above average. Tee boxes to greens were in good shape. FYI the practice greens rolls 10-20 percent faster than on course greens due to being in the sun all day.
The worst part of the day. I was sent off as a single around 2:30 PM on Saturday. There weren’t many golfers on the course according to the starter so he let me go ahead. I came up to a twosome around hole 3-4 who quickly let me through as they were beginners by hole 5. They were backed up by a foursome, who I later got backed up by from hole 7-15. They finally let me through on hole 15 and demanded that I say thank you for letting me through after making me wait nearly 2 hours. They were verbally disrespectful to a guest, as I later found out they were members. The course management apologized for their behavior which I was very grateful for.
This could have happened at any other course as members tend to be elitist, sadly. Bear Creek was good and I will likely find myself playing there again.
Great... if you like rounds upwards of 4.5-5 hours
Booked an early tee time.
The staff checking in was friendly, but I should have known it was going to be a bad round when I saw a sign thsg said pace of play from the golfers is expected to be 4.5 hours.
For being the 3rd group to go off, there was already a 10 minute delay.
WWE got as far back as a24 minute delay.
The people I was paired up with said it's normal to br like that. Where i come from expected pace of play is supposed to be 4 hours and under.
The group in front couldn't even keep pace with the group in front of them.... you know the folks who wait until the foursome in front of them is on the green to tee off.... then takes 8 minutes for all four to hit their tee shots.
We literally waited 6-8 minutes to hit every shot.
The greens were shaggy, slow and unmanicured. There were areas with no grass and just dirt. You could see lines of turf break between fairways and rough.
The worst part is there was a ranger who usually came around and did nothing to push the groups.... even worse is the group behind us, they were nowhere to be seen after the 6th hole. So imagine if we finished the round 30 minutes behind, what the groups behind us must have experienced.
Great experience
My husband and I played for the first time during the most recent heat wave. We got out at 7:15am and played with a very nice regular who helped with tips about the East course. I was amazed at the pace of play for a Saturday morning! Even better than at our private club. Will def play here again.
Put this in your rotation
Bear Creek does a fantastic job of taking care of their courses. Fairways are lush and not burnt out like a lot of other public courses. The beverage cart comes around often and they have multiple bathrooms that are clean and well maintained. They have a great patio to hang out after your round with a cool food truck outside to keep the party going.
First round at bear creek
Course is in good shape, greens are fast, and rough is penalizing. Narrow fairways on west course are challenging from the tips. Cart girl is sweet, tip her well. I booked a late hot deal for Wednesday evening but did not notice there is a tournament on the back nine west. They were friendly enough to let me join them so that I could play all 18.
Always a good challenge
Love this course it’s always been one of my favs
Greens were a bit grainy but they still rolled ok
