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.

Fun course for groups
From Canada, on our first ever golf vacation. Course was in good condition and pace was 4hrs ish. Would go back for sure. Thank you
Best Value this year
Had never played this course before, but I was very impressed. The overseeding made for excellent conditions, the pace of play was good, and the staff was very friendly. It's the first time I've seen Bear Creek on Teeoff, and I hope to see it listed next November when I return to the Valley of the Sun.
Quiet Round
Great weather. Always a challenge. This time of the year with the 90 degree rule always requires more walking.
Very enjoyable afternoon
This was my first time playing the Bear Course at Bear Creek. Great layout. Course was cart path only due to recent over-seeding. The new grass is in great shape and should soon be ready for carts. Course is challenging. The greens rolled nicely, but a bit slower due to recent over-seeding. The practice facilities are great too. The employees were all extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Bear Creek.
Course is in Good Shape
New grass is in abundance. Tee boxes needed to be trimmed; fairways rolled well; sand traps full; greens were receptive, though a bit slow (with some cups being poorly placed on ridges); rough was fair in depth. CPO seemed not to hinder pace of play much, finishing at 4 hours. TeeOff deal made it a good value. Practice range and putting green were also in fine shape.
Just OK
It’s a golf course. I found nothing really unique or special and course conditions were just OK.
Fun course
Had a good time conditions were great coming out of overseeding. Will return when the price is right
Flush condition's
Bear course just reopened 8 days ago from over-seeding. Cart path only from 3 week after opening so my round was CPO. 3:30 round as a 3 some with no waiting, staff said we got lucky rounds usually 4:30-5hrs.
Conditions were great. Fun course with easy layout. 5 par 3s, but back 9 par 3s are no joke. Grass was thick and greens were slow as expected from over seeding. Rental clubs were terrible!!! Flew in front out of town and played in a whim. Range balls were expensive. Overall fun course that’s not too difficult.
Because it was cart path only the play was extremely slow only got to play 14 holes and did not see a ranger all day
