Bear Creek Golf Club, East Course

Bear Creek Golf Club is a Public, 36 hole golf facility located adjacent to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Dallas, Texas. The facility has two Ted Robinson designed 18-hole golf courses. They are The East Course at Bear Creek and The West Course at near Creek.

The East Course first opened for play in 1980. The course was designed by Ted Robinson.

The East Course tends to be more open, but there are some tree-lined fairways on both courses. The greens usually have good speed. Many of the tees and greens are elevated. The East Course has six holes with elevated greens and the West Course has nine elevated greens.     

A good strategy is key on the East Course. The signature hole is the beautiful #5, a beautiful 520 yard par-5. 

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,670 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,620 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 1, a par-5 that plays to 528 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 7, a par-3 that plays to 166 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 2, a 416-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at The East Golf Course is # 17, a 175 yard par-3.
