Thursday afternoon round, should be fast right? Nope, 4.5 hour round, waiting 10 minutes on every shot. The cart girl was super nice, weather was perfect, course was in pretty good condition. Doesn't matter how great the course is when they can't keep the pace of play reasonable. Marshall came by 4 times, but nothing he could do. Most likely they overbooked and had a tournament going on. Very elderly people playing and super slow, walking, putting everything. Won't be back here for a while.

Had a 1pm tee time, course was super packed. Could not get a cart until 15 minutes before tee time, very long walk to the driving range without a cart. No on course marshall to keep pace of play. Waited 10 minutes on every tee box. Saw a 6-some, and two 5-somes while playing. We had to quit at hole #14. At that point it had been a 4 hour round.

Course seems to have lowered the price and booked tee times so close together. Alllowing 5 and 6 somes just frustrates off other customers. Value and conditions were good, but not worth it for slowness and not able to finish a full round.

Greens had been aerated earlier in the week, but greens were still very playable. Fairways and tee boxes were in very good shape. The pro shop staff is very helpful and friendly, they have a good handle on keeping the course moving. There was no slow play even though it was a Saturday at noon. Snack bar girls were very friendly as well. Great course for the money.

Previous two days lots of rain, cart path only, so play will be slow, I get that. They booked tee times 7 minutes apart and then have everyone wait 15 minutes on every tee box. Slowest round I have played anywhere. Took over 5 hours for a round. No marshalls for pace of play to keep groups in front from hitting multiple mulligans off the tee box. No discount for walking, even on a cart path only day. Slow greens. Won't be back.

Friendly staff. Fairways and greens were perfect. Sand traps are horrible. No sand, just hard red dirt and no way to hit out of them consistently. Only hole #9 has actual sand in it. For a course of this caliber, they need to do something about the traps. Play was very slow due to one group off at 7:30. The marshall was on top of it and tried to get them moving, but finally they let us through at the turn.

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were very slow. 2nd cut from fairway is very thick and almost always lose your ball. Should be mowed shorter. Bunkers were not raked at all and were hard packed dirt/sand. Cart girl and concession girl were very nice.

check in staff and starter were extremely friendly and helpful. Fairways and greens were perfect. Bunkers are not sand, but some clay dirt mix with a hard base. Chunk and run bunkers shots are about all you can do. As usual at Bear Creek, play was very slow. Four some in front of us were holding up the entire course.

Front desk employee was very friendly, as well as the starter. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Golf carts were ragged and very slow, no GPS. Very hot and we did not see the cart girl until finally on #14. She was also friendly. I will definitely be back. Cart girl needs to come around more often when it is so hot.

This is used to be a course that I looked forward to playing as an upper tier course. This time was so bad, I will not come back. Poor scheduling of tee times. We were a two some, two some in front, and two some behind us. One group of three were taking multiple shots and holding up the entire course. Pace of play was miserable on a Friday morning. Waiting 10 minutes between EVERY shot! Reported slow conditions to the marshall on holes #5 and #10 did nothing. Fairways were almost gone and tight lies. Clubhouse person did not greet upon walking to counter, had to wait a minute while he was making notes. Greens were very nice, but all around greens were over watered and muddy playing conditions. Golf cups on every green were torn up, probably from some elderly gentlemen using their putter heads to wrangle the ball from the cup. Poor experience.

Contrary to all the bad reviews about the green conditions, I found the greens to be in perfect condition. The were quite slow, but they were fully filled in and consistent. Fairways were also in great condition.

Greens were very nice, fast and true. Fairways were in good condition. As others have posted, some areas are over watered and muddy but better to have fairways with grass on them. Now, the bunkers are absolutely horrendous, huge rocks, no sand, all dug out. Just go in knowing anytime you hit into a bunker, you are taking a course under repair drop out of them. They must be getting ready to redo them. Based on the bunkers, I would say this is only a $30 course max, they should drop their normal rate a little until they repair the bunkers.

Staff and cart girl were very friendly and pace of play was great on a Thursday. Fairways are very good, greens are for the most part pretty good. The 2nd cut just off the fairways and around the greens is ridiculously thick and hairy. Half the time you can barely find your ball being one yard off the fairway. This is not the US Open guys, cut the grass and let us amateurs have a fun round.

Staff inside and cart girls were very friendly. Over 100 in the afternoon, and pace was very slow. Par 3's were backed up. Suspect one group of 5 was holding things up. Marshall were friendly, but must not have been keeping them moving. Greens and fairways were nice. Some holes had burned out areas with no grass. Overall nice course. Just keep pace of play moving.

Hadn't played here in a while. New owners have made a lot of upgrades to the course. Wow. Very impressed. Greens are in fantastic condition for winter. They are replacing sand in all the bunkers. The bunkers that had been fixed already played great. I can see they are fixing some of the hard pan areas around various fairways and greens with fresh dirt. Driving range was much improved too. Wish I lived closer and I would play here more. I have always loved the course, but now it is even better with the upgrades. The various stone flowerbeds, etc give the course a nice touch too.

Hadn't played here since winter, but the course is in great condition. Fairways are nice. Greens are really nice and roll very true. My only complaint would be that they should put water coolers on the course. It was over 100 and the cart girl was only seen twice.

overall good condition. Some tee boxes were unlevel, but that would be my only complaint.

Greens were in excellent condition. They were firm and fast, but not hard as a rock like some previous reviews stated. Shots into the green would hold. Fairways were in great condition also. Bunkers were nicely raked. No complaints. We were first off the tee and finished in 3:15.

Don't play here. Greens are only dirt and sand, with a sprinkling of weeds. Bunkers are better than they used to be. Too many hard pan washed out areas on the edge of fairways, no forgiveness. I can't see the greens getting much better for at least a few months.

First time to play. The course is not very long from the back tees, but some difficult holes if you have never played there before. There are some blind shots and you need to know where to place the shot. Rollings hills. Interesting course. Greens were super nice. Fairways were pretty good. Sand traps were horrendous, actually I would not even call them sand traps. Great value, so I would play there again.

Good course not too packed. Great pace of play. Staff was very friendly. Fairways were in really good shape. Greens were not very good. pretty bare and hard as a rock. I would probably not play here again until they get the greens in better shape.
