Bear Creek Course
Wentzville, MO, USA
Bear Creek Golf Club, nestled in the rolling landscape of Wentzville, Missouri, whispers a tale of Midwestern golf ingenuity. Carved from former farmlands, the course exemplifies a late 20th-century take on parkland golf, its design lending itself to generous fairways that belie the subtle challenges awaiting on approach. The course favors a draw with holes that snake slightly left. A well struck tee ball has a chance of finding the undulating fairways, and players should remain sharp and study their yardages, as the greens are guarded well with bunkers and thick fescue. Architect Gary Kern's creation emphasizes playability for golfers of all skill levels, though it offers enough strategic depth to test more accomplished players. Although not a tournament venue of national significance, Bear Creek is a popular regional draw and hosts many local competitions throughout the season. While the golf course may be the main draw, the restaurant and bar have become popular for members looking to enjoy a meal, with some even saying they enjoy the course's BBQ offerings over the golf itself. The membership at Bear Creek reflects the friendly, down-to-earth spirit of the surrounding community, and on any given day, golfers can find a partner, enjoy a meal, or play a round with friends.

Most tee boxes are beautiful grass, while some are rock hard dirt it’s mostly grass. Most of the fairways are perfectly manicured. Some of the rough, most near the cart path, is a bit muddy / ripped up but not unplayable. Carts come with a built in distances and group ahead of you (for the 3-5 blind shots). Pace of play during the week is usually pretty light, can easily get out as a solo/duo. Be warned the wednesday lunch special is just lunch meat and kraft singles.
