Bear Creek Golf Club, West 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 West Course first opened for play in 1980. The course was designed by Ted Robinson.

The West Course tends to be less 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 West Course has nine elevated greens and the East Course has six holes with elevated greens.   

The West Course has rolling hills, densely-wooded fairways and large, and subtle greens. Both the signature #17 and spectacular #7 have been recognized as two of the best golf holes in Texas.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,690 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,570 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 10, a par-5 that plays to 526 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 178 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 7, a 390-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at The West Course is # 16, the 178-yard par-3 signature hole.
