Greens were the only good thing about the course. They didn’t give me my own cart because I booked a hot deal and made me ride with someone else even though there were like 5 people out on the course. I hit from tips, he hit from whites so having an extra cart would’ve made the round more enjoyable, especially when we hit on opposite sides of the fairway. Staff was friendly.

Great value

Bear creek is a fun course. With the new driving range it will be even better. The only negatives are hole 14 when it’s rainy. Love playing golf here and always have loads of laughs.

First Time Playing

slower than slow play

The starter was very nice, good thing since we had to wait with him for a half hour after the group in front of us teed off due to insufficient rental carts. The pace was glacial, we caught up with that group on 9 and had to quit after 15 . In fairness it was a warm day and a holiday (Mon after New Year's Day). But where was the ranger?

Making improvements

Greens were in good shape. Starting to work on the tee boxes. Considering how other courses are falling off in the area, I’d come back here.

Flooded golf course

I took a vacation day to play round of golf with my dad. The tee time was in the afterrnon and when we got there, the course was closed aparently due to heavy rainfall on prior night. The lady told us that the golf course was flooded and closed. Tjere was no courtesy call about the condition of golf course. I used Holf now app for payment and lady told us to contact them for refund. Called golfnow for refund and they said they cannot refund since payment is already made.
I wasted my money and vacation time trying to play at this course and would not go back for round of golf.

6 hour round

I cannot believe you can run a weekend and holiday business without the appropriate staff. No starter no bar staff and no ranger. Got to do a better job if the price goes up. You know that can barter for help.

Nice layout my only problem is the pace of game today was very slow. We had a group in front of us hitting 2-3 balls each from the tee.
