East Course at Bear Creek Golf Club

The East Course is considered a tad more difficult, with tighter fairways and smaller greens. 14 of 18 holes dogleg, so its label as a target course is accurate. Elevation changes make club selection a challenge, and the par 5s are tough to reach in two.

No. 5 stands out on the front: a 385-yarder that doglegs left and involves an approach over water. No. 8 is longer (418 yards) and features water in the fairway landing area and along the right side.

On the back, No. 15 is the signature, playing 432 yards and tricky because of the blind approach shot.

Getting there : From I-35 west, take Hwy. 183 west and find Hwy. 36 north. Exit Mid-Cities Blvd and turn right. At Airfield Dr., turn right and the course is on the right.
