Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Bear Course is one of two courses at the Bear Creek Golf Complex; it is a championship-length course while the other, the Cub Course, is an executive length course. The Bear Course is an inland, links-style course with rolling fairways and well-manicured greens. Strategically placed bunkers situated throughout the course add some challenge to the course. A round of golf on this course can be played in less than four hours. The Bear Creek Golf Complex, in addition to the two courses, also offers a full grass driving range, two putting greens, and a short game area with a bunker.

Good Course
One of few courses that give senior discounts, yay! Most of the grass areas are in good condition. Did observe people are filling their divots on the fairways. Some people are driving carts into the desert which is not recommended. Would like to see more concentration on picking up trash, only two bathrooms which need refreshing. No water on the course but there is a beverage cart. Played 18 in 4.5hrs, nice pace. Overall good track!
Greens and fairways were excellant. Pretty dry in the rough. Pace was great-31/2 hrs. Staff very friendly and people I paired with were a lot of fun. For the right price I highly recommend
Poor desert course
Staff was extreely nice . Course did bot live up to billing. Tee boxes like concrete. Lack of sand in traps. Grass on fairway, but 1 foot off fairway….no grass… desert dirt. Greens were extremely hard. Balls would not hold.
You’ll be satisfied!
Course is in very good condition. Tees, fairways and greens really nice. Interesting layout with good variety and challenging enough for all levels of play. Really reasonable rates for this time of year.
Good Value
I paid $80 via a Hot Deal and feel the experience was a good value. Greens and fairways in very good shape, especially for the number of rounds played on this course. Staff were very friendly. No complaints on my part
Fairways and greens were good
The course is convenient from the highway. They could use some more carts, as we had to wait for ours. The course was in good shape, fairly narrow fairways as the holes are close to each other.The pace average, we only had to wait on a couple of holes. I would recommend this course, mainly for the fair price-to-quality.
Horrible Pace/No ranger/marshal
First time playing the course . I liked the layout of the overall course. During my 5+hr round there was not one marshal/ranger/employee to step up pace of play. The group in front must of played hear before they hade a football and were tossing it around waiting to tee off and seen another group ahead of us group of 8 YES I said 8 people teeing off and on the putting greens the same time like seriously what a joke @ that point.
Vacation 101
Course is very nice we just had an issue with the course rules.
No Early Tee Off
I know Hot Deals are for a specific tee time but really? Our tee time was 1:24 and we arrived early as I noticed on the app that several tee times were available. Asked the pro shop if it would make sense if we teed off early since there was no one teeing off for about 3/4 hour. They said no. OK. Drove up to starter about 15 minutes early (no one was in line) and he said he had strict instructions to not let us go until 1:24 exactly. So we sat while no one else teed off.
Enjoyed the course but that interaction left a bad taste. The rough was desert rough while the fairways and greens were in nice shape.
Good course and value
Nice round at Bear Creek.
Course in good condition and greens rolled well.
Nice playable course with good value.
We enjoy playing it.
Fairways and greens in good shape. Pretty dry off the fairway. For the right price on GN will definitely play again
