We played there this past weekend and the course condition for what you pay to play there was very poor. I would expect it from lesser courses but not Bear Creek. Sand traps that had little sand in them, basically hitting off dirt in the ones i landed in. There were quite a few of the greens that had lots of sand on them. So much sand that when the ball hit the green from a chip shot sand plashed up on every bounce. Those greens played twice as slow as the other greens. Lots of weeds around many of the greens and tee boxes that were not well kept. I sent a message to Bear Creek themselves to inform them of how disappointed that not only we were but the twosome we were paired with were as well. I got a response that while courteous told me in so many words how wrong I was and to give them another chance. Basically, come out and spend your money here again with no guarantee the issues we had with the conditions of the course will be fixed. I have played heavier used public courses this year like St. Peters that are in much better shape than Bear Creek that cost less to play at. I have played Bear Creek in the past and it was always in great shape so I was highly disappointed in how poor of shape the course is currently in. The staff themselves are very friendly and I have zero complaints about any of them. I hate writing poor reviews but I would spend your money elsewhere.

Tee off was backed up 20 minutes. Was told that there was a five some in front of us but they are playing a scramble so just call the club house if they slow us down. Teed off a 8;04, didnt tee off on the second hole until 8;35 waiting for the five some. Called the club house to let them know that not only were they slow but none of them could hit the fairway. Long story short had to call again because they were slowing game play down. Finally passed the five some at 10 since they stopped in the clubhouse only to run into ANOTHER five some. A total of 6 hours for us, a threesome, to play 18 holes. Turned in the cart and informed them how horrible game play was. Kirk pulled me to the side and decided to get snide with me. I informed him that we were instructed to call the clubhouse if the five some became an issue and we did and nothing was done about it. Weve played this course a minimum 18 times the past year and a half but if Kirk is the way Bear Creak treats its customer, we will not be back. Im HIGHLY disappointed based on past play at this course. Even the employees were urging us to complain at the clubhouse after we turned our carts in. Kirk was VERY unprofessional and even had to comment "your got your 18 in didnt you?" as we were walking out of the clubhouse, STAY AWAY. Other plans were canceled with my family since game play took so long.

On Friday 7/11/2014, I paid for 18 holes at Bear Creek and played by myself. it took me three hours to play 9 holes.I stopped after the 9 and I asked in pro shop for a rain check to come some other day, since it was sooo slow playing and he said sure. I went back last Friday, 7/18/2014, and wanted to play the other 9 holes I paid for. The man in pro shop said I would have to pay an additional $8.58. I inquired as to why and he said that I had a credit even though the receipt I had showed "RAIN CHECK". I all of my years of playing golf, I have never had a rain check that was a credit. And that I would have to pay the difference in 9 hole rate. I was flabbergasted. Since I had driven 35 minutes to get there, I paid the $8.58 and played the 9 holes. I sent a letter to the General Manager, KIRK PORTER and even left him a voice mail. As of today, one week later he has not responded. I would not recommend this course for the people in the pro shop were not very friendly and they will rip you off if you get a rain check. Most importantly, the General Manager, KIRK PORTER, did not return my phone call nor respond to my letter. I would recommend that if you pay for 18, play all 18 and dont ask for a rain check for you will only get a credit towards your next round.

Clubhouse staff were friendly and efficient. Grounds keepers were oblivious. They never stopped working, even when taking a shot withing 10 feet of their mowing and bunker work. For early season, the course was in decent shape. Fairways have come in nicely. Greens were smooth but slow for how tightly they were mowed. Silver tee boxes still need some time to come in, most were on the bare side or heavily spotted, gold tees were in beautiful shape. Every bunker our group was in was unplayable, either hard packed or a dusting of "sand" on top. For a weekday tee time before 10am, the pace of play on the front 9 was ridiculous, 3.25+ hours. Three groups in front of us gave up at the turn and we never caught another group on the back 9. Ill give Bear Creek a try later in the season, but as the rates go up, the value of the round will need to be a lot higher.

Didnt have the opportunity to play Bear Creek last year, but did have the opportunity recently. Found the course to be in really good condition for this time of year. The biggest upgrade since last time I was there was the care of the sand traps - which were in very good condition. The greens are in great condition but running a little slow because of the amount of rain we have had which isnt unexpected. Fairways have greened up nicely and are well manicured. My overall impression - I liked the course a couple years ago when I played it several times, and found it to be improved since when I last visited. Bear Creek is a good value, nice course and amenities and a friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. I will be back as soon as I have the time to do so.

Ive played this course twice now and the result is the same, nothing special. The holes that are near main roads are well kept, the rest of the course, not so much. It took almost 3 hours to play 8, count them, 8 holes. Not quite sure what the "marshals" were doing in the cart under the trees, but you should never have three foursomes waiting to tee off on any hole. When I asked for my money back for the back nine, I was told that the best they could do was a rain check. As I explained, this didnt benefit me as I was visiting from Kansas City. I advised that the "best they could do" wasnt accurate and the best would be to refund my money. After multiple blow offs I left. I would advise crossing this course off your list, even if you havent played it.
