Great course, great layout, greens a little rough, but other than that - FANTASTIC. Will play again next time I'm here.

Fun course and a short 2 Hour drive from Minneapolis. Love to come here in the spring before the Minnesota courses are open. Exceptionally friendly service as well

Love Bear Creek Golf Course! The front 9 here is a little more pitch and putt style, and the back 9 was added later on with much larger greens and a challenging layout. They host an amazing pro-am each year and have awesome staff. Julie does great work managing the clubhouse and keeping a fun golf environment.

Had a tee time booked 10 days in advance. Recieved a call 3 hrs before tee time and was told there is tournament and the course has to be cleared. We were coming in from out of town and the woman who I was speaking to asked if I could reschedule another day, I said it would not work out. I then proceeded to say it would have been nice to know this in advance. She did not respond so I said it again... Then was rudely hung up on. Have never seen such a lack personal skills from a golf course of all places.

This course is an absolute gen. Played 3 days in a row waiting for my RV to be serviced. Greens were in great shape, staff was nice, not busy at all. Best of all it was $35 for 18 with a cart. Worth every penny, not a single boring hole

Drove 2 hours to golf here the day before the 4th of July with a buddy who lives in the area fully expecting it to be quite busy with it being a holiday weekend. They had ZERO carts available for our tee time and all others after us and said there wouldn't be any more carts coming in for another 2 hours. Guy working was by himself, first week working there and had no idea what to do or how to make it right. Nice course but struggling big time on how to run it!

I've played much nicer courses for much less money. Tee boxes on the front nine were in very poor shape. Several greens were not playable because of the goose poop all over them. Our group had a tee time, but it made no difference to the members who jumped onto the course whenever they felt like it. Back nine was better than the front, but still a few greens had mold on them. Julie in the clubhouse was exceptionally friendly and made the round bareable, but for $50 I won't be back to this course.
