Bear Creek Golf Complex is a 36-hole "inland links" golf facility located in Chandler, Arizona, featuring two distinct courses: The Bear, an 18-hole championship course, and The Cub, an 18-hole executive course. Opened in January 2000 and designed by the Nicklaus Design Group and architect Bill O'Leary, Bear Creek offers a full Practice & Learning Center staffed by PGA Professionals for individual and group lessons. While the courses are generally well-regarded, some reviews highlight areas for improvement. The Bear course is noted for its good condition, but the driving range has received criticism for its sandy surface and lack of turf. The Cub course is considered a solid choice for beginners due to its straightforward layout, although some golfers have expressed disappointment with its current condition, including bare spots on the fairways and a lack of cart paths. Despite these concerns, the facility boasts excellent customer service, with many praising the staff's friendliness and helpfulness. The bar and restaurant are also appreciated, particularly for hosting private events with exceptional service. Overall, Bear Creek Golf Complex provides a decent golfing experience for both seasoned players and newcomers alike.
