Bear Creek Golf Club

I was really disappointed with my experience at Bear Creek. The pro shop was not welcoming at all (Robert). There was a tournament that was finishing up, and Robert in the pro shop told me to “just find a cart”. When I went out to the cart area, all the carts were from the tournament and had beer, cans, trash, etc. There is no starter or ranger on the course and it took almost 2 hours and 40 minutes to play nine holes. The course is in rough shape and has really become a place where there’s only tournaments. Bear Creek has gone downhill substantially over the last few years.

Showed up to 7:03 am tee time to find out that they have a tournament scheduled to shotgun start at 7:30am. No warning when booking the tee time. I already drove out to the course so wasn’t just going to go back home. Gave us a 5 hole buffer and had the first shotgun group on 5. We had a 2some and caught them before they even teed off on 5. The pro shop guy responded to me after the and said if you had your other 2 guys you wouldn’t have caught them that early. Which I completely understand but we would have caught them by hole 7, 8, or 9. we didn’t make the turn until 9:30. We ended up skipping hole 15 because we noticed nobody was on 16 or 17 when driving back to our cars. Played 16, 17 and 18 and finished by 12. When leaving the parking lot the group that we were behind was on 16 green still. If we would have continued to play behind them it would have been a 6 hour round. After the round I asked the proshop why they even offer tee times before the tournament and he responded “well if you would have had 4 people you wouldn’t have caught them so early”. I get that but at the same time we would have caught them eventually and would still be out on the course waiting. My biggest complaint is why even offer those tee times knowing that you have 2 shotgun start tournaments that day.

Beautiful wedding/reception venue! Every part of Bear Creek is just simply beautiful! We felt the vaulted ceilings with natural wood beams, fireplace, stone wall, and natural light through the windows made this venue absolutely beautiful on its own! We added a few decorations, which made our wedding absolutely stunning! Faye made our big day run so smoothly, and we had the best day! 🤍🌿
