I know this course had some challenges earlier in the year and I took some time away to allow them to make some upgrades to the greens but I was impressed with the work they have put in. The greens were in phenomenal shape and it appears all the bunkers have upgraded sand. Their off course amenities are second to none. You can tell management has been putting effort into making it an awesome course.

Bear Creek does a fantastic job of taking care of their courses. Fairways are lush and not burnt out like a lot of other public courses. The beverage cart comes around often and they have multiple bathrooms that are clean and well maintained. They have a great patio to hang out after your round with a cool food truck outside to keep the party going.

the fairways are all pretty much dead and if you miss it, you will be hitting off hardpan (assuming it doesn't fall into a giant crack). I love a challenging course and this one is pretty tight with narrow fairways and small greens but they have a bunch of unnecessary bunkers that often times are positioned right int the middle of the fairway. And these bunkers are huge with hardly any rakes to be found so you will likely find yourself in a footprint. The staff is super friendly and the cart girl extremely nice but for $60, there are tons of other courses in better shape at cheaper prices.

I want to like this course as it's centrally located and easy to get but with some many courses in DFW, it's to recommend this one with so many other to choose from. The crazy thing is it could be a good track but I don't see the course putting much time and money into it. The greens were super furry and fairways were full of cracks and crevices. Worst of all, no water on the course! They do have a sign on the front door to fill up before heading out but come one, the heat index is 110 degrees. Buy some Igloo coolers and place them throughout. The staff was friendly and the bar area had great service and plenty of TVs.

This course is always in great condition and the staff is constantly making the rounds to ensure you play in 4 hours. They have a great patio for drinking to settle post round bets.

The fairways and greens are in great shape and I swore the cart girl(s) came by ever other hole which was nice on a hot day. It's not the course's fault but it may be adjacent to a landfill or some such as there was a constant smell coming from somewhere. I'd go back though. .

If you have played this before, you know they had challenges with Poana but the staff have done a great job of getting the greens in pretty goof shape. Some bare spots in the fairway that they should rope off as they water but can't complain too much . Dallis grass shoots up this year but what are you going to do? Staff is always nice and courteous.

These were some of the best greens I have played on in a long time. While their clubhouse is a little dated, there is plenty of room to sit around and tally your bets. They could elevate the "off-course amenities" rating by having TVs that work to watch the US Open after the round.

Driving into Bear Creak always feels like you are entering an upscale club. The greens were in great shape and the patio after the round is a great place to count up your winnings. I'll definitely play here again but $82 on GN is a bit high IMHO but it's definitely a place you want to check off the list of area courses.

Many of the Frisco/Plano courses have greens in bad shape but we were pleasantly surprised to see Firewheel's greens in great shape. For a holiday, we would have expected to see the cart girl at least once but never saw her, not to mention many of their water jugs were empty.

I love the course and layout but $115? Really? The staff was awesome but they STILL have porta-potties months and months later from a previous round. For a post round drink you have to sit outside with no sun protection. The course was nice but definitely not worth $115. I guess with so few courses up in Frisco they can charge whatever they want but I played a Garland muni today that was just as nice for less then half the price and their clubhouse was superb. I may return when the renovations are complete but at that price, it's a big if.

I play all over Frisco/Plano/Richardson/Garland and this course is a great value. The greens were in great shape unlike others up north (which are more expensive btw) so do yourself a favor and drive to Garland and take advantage of a great deal.

The layout is great but there were bare patches in many of the fairways and the greens were in bad shape. I get that that's early in the spring but to charge $72 for those conditions?. Maybe their tee sheet is full and are not worried about negative word of mouth they are getting. I live close to the course but would rather drive into Dallas or Garland and play their muni courses. They considerably cheaper and in better shape.

At $49 on Golf Now, this is a great value compared to the other courses in Frisco/Plano. Lot's of nice dog legs and the greens are in great shape. If you are a walker like myself, just know there a couple of holes where you have to walk a good distance between the greens and next tee box. Will definitely play here again.

Somehow the team at Mesquite has managed to have some of the best greens I have played on in quite some time. It seems like the people who play there take pride in them as I could hardly find an unrepaired divot mark. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. . .

I wish they had cart people on the weekend but they didn't have one on the Sunday we played. They have a large indoor clubhouse that could have a nice set up for golf watching after a round but they haven't taken advantage of that yet. Still one of my favorite places to play for the price.

The course was in great shape and met a great teacher from Celina but at check in, we were told our threesome would be paired with a single, no big deal. When I asked for my cart key, I was informed I would be forced to ride in the same cart with a stranger vs, getting my own cart. Covid for the most part is behind us but forcing two strangers to ride together? WTH Bridges? No course does this. When asked why I couldn't ride in my own cart (I'm immuno-comprised) he was very short with us said "do you still want to play?" They had plenty of carts available at our start time, when we made the turn, and plenty when we finished our round so the made up story he gave us about no carts being available was complete BS.. The course is great so I encourage anyone to play but the guy behind the counter lacked any empathy and was a complete tool about the whole thing.

Hard to believe this public course is so well manicured. You have to play it a couple of times to know where the best landing areas are as the course takes the driver out of play on a few holes. The sand in the bunkers were immaculate, I should know I was in most of them. Looking forward to getting back out to play the West course.

The course itself is great but they have an answering service to book teem times and you can't get the pro-shop. A group of 8 kids all played the same hole from #2 on and couldn't get a marshal out to break it up and tell them to play faster. Turned what could have been a 3hr, 45 min round to 4hr, 45 minutes.
