Today was suppose to be a great outdoor experience with the ladies as we drove from Fort Erie to enjoy this club as we heard great things about it as well as the amenities. We arrived on time but were placed in a large line up as the club clearly over sold the courses for the day. The covid plastic dividers were in place however, others had theirs removed and were completely fine with it. Others, being senior male figures. We began the course and immediately had people waiting on us. Just 3 ladies, 1 being a learner to the sport. The pressure built as we were working our way threw 3 holes, and people piled up. Keep in mind, this entire event was under a hour at the club. We spoke to the people behind us and made a deal on passing at the next par. Then the Marshall arrived, explaining we had to play threw and needed to hurry up. We explained we made a deal and he said it was too busy of a day to do that. The beer cart lady arrived and said that the club was a relaxed place and good environment for new learners. Well that proved wrong. He then barked at us again. Being 3 women, trying to enjoy a nice day of golf being followed and shunned after paying like everyone else; it was clear we were not welcome. The atmosphere was hostile and not enjoyable at all. How do you expect to have new faces when you dont allow them to experience and practice the game? We were not disruptive or shouting like the hooligans group of men behind us, but yet we were being bullied. We left on the 4th hole. The man in the office was very kind, and stated they over booked. He gave us a refund but the day was shot and its want even 1130. Thankyou for showing your hospitality in true form.

Great place to golf. Easy going staff and 27 holes. Beverage cart girl was fun.

Chris Blackstock

Greens are always on point ! And the price is fair! You can choose from 3 different 9 holes and they're all amazing to play , lots of par 5s

Vincent C

Course was in great shape, greens were excellent. A little short from the tips, plays under 6000 but the layout is solid. If you are in Barrie definitely check this course out.

David Barber

Accomodating. Starter ensured busy day went smoothly.

Alanna Lunenburg

We had our wedding here in October. Not only was it beautiful---- everyone was so helpful and friendly. A huge thank you goes out to Lauren for all of her hard work. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with great, friendly, supportive staff--- this is the place to go. I never once was worried about how our day was going to be on there end. It was perfect!!!

Marco Romano

Fantastic. Great service thru & thru, inside & out....Very well kept course. Challenging but not overly. Will play again.

Brian A.

We played our family annual golf tournament last weekend at this course. The course had the slowest bumbiest greens I had ever encountered. They had not been cut or rolled. You could also not distinguish the fairways from the rough. I feel sorry for the residents in Barrie that are subjected to playing cow patches such as this and having to pay 80.00 to do so.

Aret Mazmanyan

Great venue.

Garry Donnelly

Great course for your local charity golf tournament. The staff manages it all. Easy to get to. Close to Barrie.

Great golf course 3 - 9 hole courses Greens and fairways are in great shape. Well taken care of. Staff in clubhouse seemed a little dizzy, but won't stop me from going back.

Barrieadventuregirl

Had an awesome day of golf. Greens were in top shape, beautifully groomed and the back 9 is my favourite! Food we very good too! And lots of cold beer.

fps timberguy

Nice course. Well kept

Ricardo Brown

I have recently played three courses in the Barrie area. I currently live in Vaughn but will be moving to this area in September. I'm an avid golfer and thought I would write a review for each course hoping to get some responses from members/public players to help make my decision. Obviously my review is on one round of golf at the course. I played Bear Creek on Tuesday July 1st with a friend from work. I loved the layout of the course and know there is the option to play 3 nines. Course was busy as expected on a holiday. Greens rolled great and the fairways in good condition. I found the proshop staff to seem a bit out of sorts with communication to starter. Give the course I played with the "island green" an "A" rating. Kudos to the maintenance staff. Give the food a "B". Had a burger and it was just ok. Overall very satisfied and can see myself playing there again.

Norm Petroff

Great course! Friendly staff, fast carts, nicely manicured.

Lora Ruberto

Loved it..so Beautiful.great service

Kevin Griffin

We really enjoyed our day on the course. My son came close to an ace.

Nick Rizzuto

Great course first time there will be back many more times

Lillian Mavingire

Warm , friendly atmosphere. Beautiful grounds

Darryl Music

Great golf course but when I golfed on Father's Day with my wife the starter Marshall made us drive the golf cart with a plastic shield between us. We were not happy about this and the Marshall said we must have it.This is BS and very rude and this needs to change. Everywhere else we do not need a plastic shield. I guess you picked the wrong plastic devider but you could have some carts with out them? We see it as being lazy????

don wright

Fun place to golf. Great staff.

Em Fo

Drove every green and then 3 putted. I need lessons. And more beer! Wheres the cart girl?!

Rico Miron

Great 27 hole course that challenges every type of player.

Stephen McIntosh

Fastest tourney I've ever played. Well done.

Brian Pearson

Nice open course.friendly folks.Excellent Conditions.

Adam Baillie

Beautiful course highly recommend to anyone in the area

Jeff Sutton

Well kept & organized. Couple of holes are shoehorned in but still an excellent course. I'm a real golfer and I will go back.

Joseph Carlucci

The course is immaculate and very challenging absolutely loved the course and the friendly staff but the fact the course was packed with people was not not favourite finishing a hole to have people hitting and 4 carts waiting to shoot on the next hole was a brutal golfing experience we started at 2:56 and by 5:25 we were on the 7th hole. The organization definitely needs work and for that reason I will probably not come back.

Mark G

What a great place well maintained friendly helpful staff

Dennis Butcher

Nice course.

Karl Hakkarainen

One of the best courses in Barrie area. I really like the fact they have 27 holes. The course is well kept, carts ride nice. Looking forward to many more rounds in the years to come.

Todd Piirto

Great Course!

Tom Bland

Had a Great time

Kyle Welsh

I had a great experience here, happy staff, amazing course! I will be back!!!

Kory Hopkins

I play in the Keg Monday Night Men's League at Bear Creek! It's a great course, fantastic management, and staff. The course is always in top condition and three nines means we get a good variation playing each course less than 9 times a year. Huge clubhouse is GREAT for tournaments, weddings and parties! Keep up the GREAT work!

Matt Banks

A fantastic little course to play. The Pro Shop staff are knowledgeable and the Club staff are friendly. Drink prices in the Club are on par for most golf courses. Recommended.

Alan Hood

Played here many times this summer. Their 27 hole golf tournaments are a great bargain price wise and always a lot of fun.

Doug Lawson

Nice local course that has a great mix of long,mid and short holes.

Howard Williams

Great golf for a fair price along with great food!

Derek Gruchy

Really great course that isn't too hard or too easy. Great membership options for 50% rounds!

Manni

One of my favorite courses. Requires a true shot, very scenic and we'll kept

Taylor Mitchell

Excellent golf course with holes that utilize different skills without being overly challenging. Well kept and maintained throughout all of the course as well. Staff were extremely welcoming and professional. Looking forward to more rounds of golf here!

Kristina Simard

Perfect ambiance for a wedding! Nice place

Enzo Villa

Great for the average golfer to improve their skills

Noorhan Yohanna

Nice place

Ross Christopher

Great condition fairways and greens. The greens are very small, postage stamp style, and also have tricky undulations which really makes you keep your approach shots below the hole. Food was great as well, very friendly and accommodating staff.

Daniel Berry

The course is great for this price range and the staff is on point!

Bob Lunney

Very beautiful facility..

Camper's Tale

Great place to golf!

David Matteau

No vegan menu ....

Not Going away

Course condition was perfect. But Mr Drew please have a conversation with your staff about tee time rates and have them in the know..I and someone else called for a tee time rate ..we both where bounced around and finally spoke to someone..we were told the same rate. But When we arrived it was changed..I have a suggestion...have a email confirmation for tee time booking..so there is no confusion... Always enjoyed the course Thanks

Philip Dontigny

Nice course. Well kept. Had the best steak here.

Will Stapleton

Absolutely blown away, the course is beautiful. Groomed perfectly. Definitely a hidden gem.

Carson Wyatt

Great course for a reasonable price. Friendly staff.

Col. Sunshine

Had a wonderful time during the wedding there. Waitress told me my mother raised me right. Also had drinks.

PAUL GAFFNEY

Great course, perfect shape, outstanding staff.

Laurie-Ann Stuart

A beautiful 27 home course. Offers challenge and forgiveness on the various holes. The staff are always welcoming and knowledgable.

Lorne Harmer

Beautiful gold course

Karen’s Silly Videos

Had a membership for the summer of 2017 and quite enjoyed playing here as it’s not too difficult a course if you are new to golfing. The course has 3 - nine hole courses to play which keeps it interesting. It is a very well maintained course and the staff are all terrific. Memberships are very reasonable but drop in rate is expensive. What I didn’t like about this course and why I didn’t buy a membership a 2nd year, is that they have so many leagues playing here we always had to play the same course because the other 2 were so busy. Even though we played the less desirable course it seemed the majority of the time we had to wait on every hole even though we had a booked tee time. Maybe there’s not enough time in between bookings?

Peter Ott

Memberships under $300

Keith Million

Really well maintained and enjoyable course

Ashley Moore

This course is so beautiful! We golf there quite frequently. We were in a tournament a couple of weeks ago, and it was great! The staff was lovely, and everything went off without a hitch. They kept the group's spread out very nicely so you weren't waiting on each hole. We also had dinner there and it was fantastic! Roast Beef, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, veggies, and Caesar salad. So yummy! I would recommend this course to everyone! It's such a great atmosphere.

Edwin Foster

Fantastic Golf Course

Not Available

Awesome .. Good experience:)

jay young

Great place to spend sunday.

Dean Minto

Very good played 27 holes 37_38_39.

Rob Dumont

Absolutely love this course, it's difficult enough to give most golfers a fun challenge but not brutal enough to make you want to kill yourself, and for the price, you really can't complain, Bear Creek may become my new home course.

Steve Crouse

Great shape,nice club house very friendly staff

Adrian Anderson

Great staff

Frank Wice

The course is great also the people and food were all that I or anyone else could want

Neil Dunn

Never lets me down. Coarse was maintained nicely. The girls behind the bar are fantastic! I think I have more fun on the 19th hole then golfing, they have created such a fantastic atmosphere in the clubhouse.

Bert Allison

Awesome course. Well kept greens and fairways. Staff and Marshall were very friendly. Will definitely golf there again

Bill Donaldson

Our second time attending their Christmas Dinner Dance. As always, good food, good friends, and good music. Highly recommended.

Todd Lewis

48 years old, gilf since i was 10 and been everywhere and this matter be the absolute worst course I have ever played in North America.

Betty Edginton

Such an enjoyable day. Very impressed with their Covid19 preparations and the instructions given. Course is in great shape as usual. Going back soon!

Bradley Jutzi

Great golf spot. Yummy food. When kids are older I will be a regular.

Mike Frederiksen

Wonderful course and people

Andrew Robertson

Golf course great

Jane Clarke

It’s unacceptable to force twosomes of strangers to play together right now. All of these covid protocols and you jam the course and force people to play with individuals they do not know. No more overbooking! Let people play with who they came with or alone, if that’s their choice. Everyone booked a time, so please be smart about what you’re doing. Courses have been allowed to stay open, so please don’t ruin it for everyone so you can get in a few more people.

Tim Clark

Excellent place to play. Course will not beat you up yet it is fair. Always in excellent condition , probably one of the best consistently maintained courses you will play on. You need to experience it to believe it. Kudos.

David Ascott

Very nice course. Challenging.

Ryan Travers

One of the most well maintained golf courses in Simcoe County!

Jamie Tabor

Nice little track. Always a great tournament host. Gender friendly, fairly flat course that is walkable, if that's your preference. Worth the drive to the outskirts of Barrie and Angus.

John Silva

Awsome night of golfing

Joe Vaira

Had a great golf experience here. However, when ordering lunch at the end of the 8th hole it would have been nice if the clubhouse server told me my burger and friend's wings already came with them instead of ordering 2 more fries on top of that.

Kenneth Wheeler

Great course for any caliber. You can make a mistake and recover most times as it is quite forgiving. Green fees seem a bit expensive but EVERY industry has their COVID TAX. I won't let that stop me from returning!

John Wilkins

New member this year. Wonderful staff in pro shop and dining area. Have played all 3 nines and have not been disappointed. Course in very good shape, greens could be a little faster!

Eric Evangelista

Excellent , well kept and maintained course .. truly worth the money and most definitely recommend it and will most definitely play it again

R S

Great friendly staff!! The Marshall today (June 19) couldn't have been a more friendly fellow. Kind courteous and very understanding. He was very accommodating and I appreciated his couth. Kudos to you for making me want to return to your golf course in the near future.

Steve White

Beautiful courses and reasonably priced

Dillon Williams

From the moment i walked in i wasnt treated nicely the pro shop staff were extremly rude. The person at the kitchen was rude. The course is nice but for a "challenging course" as the pro shop says ita not worth the money. Will never come back and will tell anyone thinking about it to stear clear of this golf course.

Nick Melnychuk

Awesome people work there. Course is in great shape.

Tim MacLeod

A course that knows exactly what it is, a mediocre course with appropriately priced green fees. In saying that it is a very nice course that I enjoy playing. Greens and fairways are well kept and most of the bunkers are in good condition. It's a little on the short side (specifically the older holes). The small greens and the decent layout on the older South course do provide some difficulty. I recommend doing the South/Island, although some people believe the 7/8 holes in central make it better than the South, but I strongly disagree. The rest of the central the worst part of the course.

Delaine Payton

3 nines Well maintained. Interesting layout Pleasant staff Moderate price

Roger Brown

Great golf course

Bill Bowen

Great course, friendly staff.

Rob Taylor

Best conditions of the year all week. It's always good but this week was very good conditions.

Taylor C

Purchased a membership here this year! Early start to the golf season. The staff here are amazing and the grounds crew really make it a great place to golf!

Justin Clarke

Friendly staff. Good course and amazing staff. Took clients here and they absolutely loved it. Beer cart was active and the service was amazing. I would recommend and definitely will be back (with or without the underpar deal that we used).

Alessandro Terenzio

Great course grounds are in amazing condition. Great for adverage golfers not to challenging, island green is alot of fun if you have the change to play there i would definatly recommend

Ross Deebank

Did not tee off til over 20 minutes after our reservation time. Then had to wait on every shot. Very disappointed.

Jackie S

Will not ever go back! Went out to have a wonderful day of golf on a beautiful day and was treated horribly by some of the stuff. This is not the first time that this has happened and it ruined the rest of our day. If you want to golf go somewhere that they treat you better.

James Cameron

Nice grass and adequately challenging holes

Sue Dawson

Great Staff great golf course

Kaley Bozek

Great place to golf. I will be getting another seasons pass next year. It's nice to have 3 courses of 9 so you can change it up. The course has some challenging holes (I'm still learning so for those of you experienced golfer you won't be so challenged). I highly recommend this place for those who have a few games under the belt and want just enough challenge to push you to be better.

Ted Hildebrandt

Great course vary nice staff ! Always awesome day playing there with awesome friends !????

Joe Wiscombe

Friendly people GREAT COURSE

paul kreppenhofer

Great place to play

Kyle Bearss

Nice greens, not so nice fairways.

Don Wannamaker

Played this course alot in the last 2 years EXCELLENT condition ..challenging.. however not too difficult... need to make proper club selection and place ball. Great food in club house and great staff throughout course ..

Sean Mills

Course is a good layout and usually pretty good but I feel like i'm in high school with all of the Marshall's always checking up on you. Not a big fan of paying to get supervised to play golf

Lizzie Der

we were a ladies 4some playing here yesterday and was directed to play the Central/South courses. We checked the score card which shows the distance of Red tee being less than 4200 yards and the white tee distance is 5100. Our handicap is in the low 20’s so we know we can handle the white tee. While 2 ladies have teed off, starter Bob rushed toward us and stopped us from teeing off. He wanted to move us to the Red tee. We told him our reasoning to tee off the white but his response was accusing: “ but you’ve been standing here for 5 minutes”. Obviously we had to wait for the group in-front of us to clear our hit zone before we tee off. Then he waved his hand in the air as if to shut me up and said, “well you have to catch up to the group in front of you and when I catch you falling behind, I’ll move you to the red tee. “ Then he left. This was a threat and very distracting as we thought the whole time we were being watched but In fact we’ve taken photos that we had to wait at least 2-4 minutes almost every hole for the group in front to clear. We reported this incident to the pro shop as soon as we finished 18 holes and our time was just shy of 4 hours having waited almost every hole. Larry the manager confirmed that it’s not a course policy that ladies must play red tees. We weren’t asked about our handicap and in his mind, this rude starter thinks women can only play 4000 yards. In this day and age when women golfers have done so well and is a big part of golf consumers, we can’t believe we ran into a starter like so. We were told by Larry that the owner Drew will call me regarding this whole shameful incident but I have yet to hear from him. Goodbye Bear creek you are in very bad books with a reputable Ladies golfers league in Toronto.

Grant Rose

Excellent experience. Course, as always, in terrific shape. Drew and company deliver an enjoyable day every time.

Steve Handley

Bear Creek is fantastic. Three nines. Never the same 18. Recommend it even with covid trying to ruin our day.

V Carter

How can this course charge 70.00 with a cart the first week of the season 2021. Its a 5400 yard course with no range and a small clubhouse lol. Pace is always horrible . Small boring holes . Give your head a shake Bear Creek. Don't waste your time or money people . Go play somewhere else where they don't just jam up the course as soon as possible and charge ridiculous green fees.

Lisa Marie Robertson

Love the 18 or 27 holes to play and very reasonably priced. Great service, excellent food and a beautiful place to hold any event

Shannon Blackmore

Nice course, still a little wet though. Maybe to early?

Raymond Mcleod

Very nice course friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely return for more.

Christopher Fry

My second round there was as good as I hoped. Great shape, every hole has it's own value. Greens were fair , and in good shape. Best value for your money.

Allan Lees

Great venue and staff for the Retirement Party of Essa CAO, Mr Greg Murphy.

Oscar Levesque

Great day great staff

kevin gray

Can I fish your ponds please? I gave you a 5 star review

Brian ODonnell

Great course and it was in great shape, nice day! Staff in restaurant could have been a little friendlier... but food and service were good.

Joseph Hielemann

Great course. Each nine challenges different parts of your game. Might be a tad pricey

Stephanie Gourlie

Lovely course and house!! Fun for tournaments of various skilled golfers

Dave Clouston

Great course at a great price. Fast greens and well maintained fairways. Wide open spaces with forgiving tree lines

Will Donaldson

3 - 9's to chose from. Played it multiple times a year. Kept is good shape. Friendly staff. Needs a driving range.

Peter Calaguiro

Great golf reasonably priced

C

Good times

Jd B

Great place to golf

John Murdock

27 holes of golf! Well manicured and challenging for all levels of golfers. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Some of the marshalls can be a little pushy in trying to maintain pace of play. Understood if your group is falling behind but in our case on a few occasions we felt like we were being rushed. We were not behind the pace of play and actually finished our rounds each time this happened well ahead of schedule. Overall this has only happened a few times that we felt we were being pushed but when speaking to the starter about this at the turn the problem was solved. Sometimes marshalls can be over enthusiastic thinking they are helping by moving the pace of play when in fact they hinder it by rushing players. The pro shop is ok but not a great place to shop. Like most pro shops items are overpriced. Staff is extemely nice and accommodating. Overall a good place to play a round with prices for golf and carts well within today's going rates.

andrew robertson

Great Golf experience staff are awesome, food is excellent, Green's are true, always love golfing at Bear Creek

Philip Jules

Great place just got home from a tournament Staff was great very organized.
