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.

Course plays long

Fun track with plenty of room to keep the ball in play. However there is trouble that will seek up on you if you’re not aware or carful. My initial round was after rain in 10 mph winds and 25mph gusts. I normally play between 6,000 to 6,500 yards so the starter confirmed things were fairly flat so I played the blue tees based on its openness. Big mistake I hit 6% of the greens, 67% of the fairways which produced 3 pars making the experience difficult or frustrating. .

Don’t make the mistake and play extra yardage and have fun trying to manage the huge greens that rolled nice and were in very
good condition.

I plan to be back to play the white tees and really enjoy the experience, being a 11 handicap i should easily break 90 versus not.

Thanks, Don

Faster than usual

We finished in right over 4hrs which was a nice. It was super windy today so I’m assuming people didn’t want to mess with it longer then they had to. Hot deal so couldn’t complain about the price either

Good Course, but pricey…

Greens and Fairways were awesome. Pace was good until the last couple holes, men’s club shotgun off the back nine. $100 is a little pricey for this time of year.

Not worth it

At nearly the same cost as other Easy Valley courses this is the lowest bang for the buck. Feels like playing in Rural Texas with no scenery of note, no trees and lots of hard packed dirt everywhere you turn. Narrow fairways and greens are in good shape for the most part but the bunkers are lacking sand. Very unattractive course for the money. Try IronOakes, Ocotillo, or any course in Gilbert and you'll be happier.
