Bear Creek October 2023

Driving range facility is good.
Tee boxes in poor condition and mostly rock hard making it difficult to insert tee into ground. Lots of repair work throughout course.

Constant maintenance challenge

The course started out in great shape in mid to late spring. Then, after many, many public tournaments,, the course became far less maintained. several greens have damage, and several fairways have lots of dirt and mud along side cart paths entrances, and beside the greens The carts were very dirty yesterday, and appeared to be under there third or fourth golf course lease. The Golf course maintenance budget must have got severely cut this year.

Slow Pace & Sandy Bumpy Greens

8 min tee time intervals do not help the slow play at this challenging and nice course. The round was almost 5.5 hrs. At times, 3 groups were waiting on tee boxes. There is no ranger to control the pace. Never could get into any kind of rhythm with the pace. Also, there was no mention of sand on the greens on the website, nor by the pro shop & starter. The greens were SLOW and bumpy.

just don't understand their tee box positions. The white tees in many cases is difficult but the gold tee boxes are very short. It would be a lot more fun and faster play. 5 plus hours is not fun for anyone.

Bear Creek

Greens were rolling great. Pace of play was slow. Waited on every hole for 1 or 2 foursomes in front of us. No one on the course to tell players to pick up the pace. Overall the course was in good shape.

Too many tee time available

Need to stop booking tee times 5 minutes apart if they are going to rush you to hit despite people standing in the fairway. Had to wait at every hole. Ranger was on his high horse all day telling people to hurry up. Also greens are in terrible condition. $60 for this course is a joke. Should be around half that.
