Bear Creek

September golf! Bear Creek was in excellent condition. Even though the leaves are just starting to fall, the greens have been cleared of those that have. Greens may be in the best condition since I have been coming here for several years. I have told friends, if going to the Lake Ozark area, set a tee time at Bear Creek.

Pace of play

Pace of play was the only issue. We were a twosome so we expect a little slow play but when the foursome ahead of us decides to play more than one ball on various shots, it's a bit ridiculous. Finally, the group asked us if we wanted to play through....on 16. Nearly 5 hours for the round is a bit slow. I think BCV has GPS tracking on all carts, perhaps they can find a way to better manage slow play.

Great except the greens

I have played this course one time previously (I live about 45 mins away) and had a great day that day as well. Staff was great both times, the overall condition was great - especially for the HOT drought we have been having in MID MO. The only thing I wish was better were the greens. The greens were riddled with divets, it looked like not a single person had fixed their divets all summer. Other than that - great course and we will be back.

Hidden Gem

Once you get there you're in paradise. Some quirky things make it a little difficult for first timers such as I was, but it all works out. Even blind tee shots give you a good indication as to where to hit the ball. If you do well, you are rewarded. A must for the avid golfer.
