Never get to play

I took a day off as vacation and reserved this course through Golfnow. When we got there, qe learned there was flood and the course was not playable. They could habe called ma and notify that course was not playable due to flood before we got there since it was about 1 hr drive. Luckily we were able to play round of golf near Providence. Tks to the lady whonwirked there at the course.
Really disappointed but hope to play there next time. I have asked for reimbursement and hopdully we can get reimbused online.

Hottest day of the Year

Recent changes at Bear Creek have been very positive. New Carts, New Driving Range and New attitude. They's spent some money on the course and everyone was nicer than ever.
Only complaint goes to the greenskeepers. Almost every hole had burnt, worn edges. Had 4 putts lipout due to bad hole edges.

For the hottest day of the year...it was a great day and great round.

Good but busy

Good course just super slow. I understand it’s the weekend but they ran out of carts when we got there and had to wait 15 after our tee time to start our round which wasn’t too bad but the round ended up being close to 5 hours due to all the waiting around at every tee box. But other than that, pretty decent course.

Very good overall

It was a good experience overall and I will go back. Greens were very fast but true. Course was in good shape. My biggest problem is you can't hit driver on the range because it is so short. Otherwise very good

Great condition

Super condition right now, just wish they would put in real tees on 16. Also they need to get the senior groups moving. I’m not into playing in 4.5 hours. Play black tees for a challenge.

Would have been at least 5 hours

Booked for 9:40 got off early around 9 am. Counter girl very pleasant. Took 2 1/2 hours to play the front spent a lot of time standing around waiting. Finished the front and took a chance skipping 10...for the next seven holes there were foursomes on the box, in the fairway, and on the greens. Finally got to 17 and was able to play the last two holes. Though the course has improved from previous ownership it isn't worth $48 and a painfully long round. Don't think I'll be back unless it is a late afternoon round when the course is open and the price isn't so steep
