Not the best, but not the worst. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

A mixture of half open field shots and half wooded shots with 2 water shots as well.
Also, some elevation change added a little better of a challenge.
The layout is smart because you're never in anybody's way or crossing paths at all.
They have concrete pads but they were shorter than a typical concrete pad givin you no run up options.

Cons:

The price to play is highway robbery, but if you park in the gravel lot by hole 1 you can probably get away with playing without paying ;)
Super overgrown in the summertime and easy to loose a disc if you're even a little off the fairway.
The walk back to the car sucks because it's uphill and long.

Other Thoughts:

The pond was filled when I played so beware of your shots on holes 10 and 11. Bring yourself some bug spray for the back 9, it gets buggy back there.

Played once, that was enough for me. I wouldn't willingly go back there to play.

quick course tales of 2 half 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has 2 completely different sets of nine holes. The first half is fairly open with brush on the sides that you can lose your disc in. And the back nine is in the woods with very tight very specific lines to throw. I really enjoyed playing there. Except between 9 and 10 and 18 back to the car its a very short walk between holes and very easy to navigate.

Cons:

The pond is being refilled, they said that when the drained it, there were over 800!!!!! DISCS IN THE POND!!! (they said if there were any names on the disc they were calling them). That was the main reason I skipped 10 and 11, I did not feel like losing a disc. And the walk back to the car after 18 was long and uphill but not unbearable.

Other Thoughts:

The course was a fun course that you could play a could times without getting bored. Yah paying $25 wasn't the best, but you get a $25 gift card. So I brought along my girlfriend and she walked with me as I played and was my spotter and then we ate dinner at their restaurant after with the gift card, so it all worked out! Its a fun course to play once or twice with different kind of throws required, but nothing crazy special or spectacular.

Bear Creek 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The pond has been drained, so you won't lose your disc.
Nice mix of wooded and open. Back nine flows nicely, front nine can get a little confusing after the second hole.

Ace runs a plenty on the front nine.

Cons:

Tee pads aren't consistent. You get a mix off concrete and flymats. One flymat looks to be put together from the left overs of others.

Cost to play (more below).

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad course. Back nine are like Boyertown or South Mountain wooded wise, front nine is like Little Lehigh but much shorter.

You will get a nice workout playing here. If playing with a group, bring two cars and have one person park in the lower posting lot.

Cost, $25 is steep. But with the year pass you get $25 gift card to the Grill shop. So you can get a burger and a beer after your round. The activity pass is also good for hiking, mountain biking and disc golf. So if you ever go back you can do other things.

If you don't want to pay, go to doubles on Wednesday night and play with some new people for free.

You can also drink beer while playing and nothing well be said to you.

Who'll definitely be back to play again.

"Bearly" a two 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 holes with easy to see DIScatcher baskets. Concrete tees are always a plus and most holes have them. Decent mix of elevation, risk/reward, and challenge. Great place if you're looking for a workout. Hole 10 by far the best hole here (unless you hate water holes) and 11 is nice as well. Nice lefty/righty mix.

Cons:

Two big detractors would obviously be a pay to play. That price is far too steep for what it is worth (which is maybe $3 at best). I've played courses that charge $10 a day and they are totally worth it. Forget that here. The second one would have to be that disgusting walk after 18 should you bring one vehicle to the course. Not only is it long, it's uphill too. Don't miss the fairways in the summer on some of the front nine. Hole 8 plays very close to the entrance road, so take care (overshoots are the threat there).

Other Thoughts:

Hole 8 does provide a good challenge with the OB parking lot and the entrance road behind it, so play that hole with care. My advice would be that unless you do other things at Bear Creek that wouldn't result in paying to play it, skip it and play elsewhere. There are far too many other options for DG in the Valley that are either free or cheaper and will give you a better experience.

$25 to play, go elsewhere 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Descent teepads and signage
-Fun throws over water on two holes
-Other than that it is not very memorable

Cons:

-The biggest negative about this places is that it COSTS $25 TO PLAY! That is nuts when almost every course in PA is free, or $5 at most. I played this course before you had to pay to play and it is a fun course don't get me wrong, but it is no way worth paying $25 (this gets you a season pass and they give you a gift card, but this isn't worth it if you are just trying it out a few times) to play.
-Hard to navigate several holes
-Chance of losing a disc is a very real possibility if you stray even a few feet off the fairway or throw into the lake
-Great opportunity to get poison ivy or ticks
-Other than 2 holes over water this course is very boring and pedestrian, not worth $25.

Other Thoughts:

Disc golfers should not patronize this place. It is supposed to be a free sport (or $5 for private places like this which I am ok with). You can find literally dozens of courses in this area or neighboring areas that are free and much better like Jordan Creek, Tyler SP, or French Creek SP. Seriously $25, that is enough to steer clear of this place until they change this policy.

Must Pay to Play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 29, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice Course! Fun to play. real clean. Easy to navigate. Nice changes from hole to hole.

Cons:

The Resort owns the course and makes you pay $25.00 for a year membership even if you only want to play there 1 time.

Other Thoughts:

Don't get me wrong the year membership is a great deal if your a local, because you get a $25.00 gift card good for anything at the resort. But there is a lot of people that come from out of town that don't want to pay that amount to play 1 day of DG. Even the person who works there told me lots of players just leave as soon as they hear the price. They should have a 1 day pass for $5.00. if they must charge for something every other course does for free.

Could have been better, could have been worse. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 7, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads on most holes, good flow and easy to navigate. Holes 10 and 11 are the signature holes on this course, but bring some throwaway discs (or floating plastic). The back 9 is much more fun than the front, but is very tight and could use some tree maintenance.

Cons:

The first 9 holes are a little on top of each other. There is a ton of land out there, and I feel like they went way too short, and most holes are left hand hyzer fades. It is apparent that the course needs to be played more, and has a lot of potential to be a nice beginner friendly course.

Other Thoughts:

The cleanliness, flow, and signature holes make up for the lefty friendly and shortness of the course. Can be played in less than 2 hours, but wouldn't recommend making a trip out there for a full day trip. It might be a good ending round as I believe they have a restaurant and bar on the premisses.

excellent 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 14, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quickly becoming one of my favorites in Lehigh/Bucks area. This course is well maintained and a fun and relatively fast play. It has a lot of ace opportunities and hole 10 in particular is the gem playing over a portion of a large pond. It has a good combination of holes that are not wooded 1-11, and heavily wooded 12-18. Concrete tee pads make for better tee offs and were recently added to the wooded portion of the course. A boat is also provided to retrieve your disc should it go in the pond if its a floating disc.

Cons:

Tee pads in the unwooded portion are small. Although you don't need a lot of power on these holes, it would be nice if they were larger.

Other Thoughts:

Its not as good as the mountain course but definitely a top 5 in the surrounding area.

Fun, quick play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 31, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is well maintained, baskets and tee pads are in good shape. The course is extremely easy to navigate with the tee signs. The first tee is by lot 4 on the side nearest the entrance to the complex, look for the statue of Bigfoot. The course loops back to the lot after hole 9, and then hole 10 plays over the pond. The tee signs all have the correct numbers, so just follow them. I enjoyed that the parking lot on hole 8 was ob, made a straightforward hole much more interesting.

The front 9 plays through open areas with bushes making up some rough which will punish errant throws, but adds some nice complexity. The back 9 starts with two awesome shots over the corners of a pond and then wraps up in the woods. Almost like two great courses in one: open, then wooded. All par 3's, so great for a quick play.

Cons:

Most holes are relatively straightforward. Other than 10 and 11, there isn't anything extremely memorable. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the course, there just isn't anything epic to push my rating to a 4 or higher.

Other Thoughts:

As an amateur player, I found this course to appeal to my ability. Nothing too long, but still enough to test my fairway drivers both in the open and woods to see where I stand and see if I can drive close enough to nail a few putts for birdies. Beware that other reviews which mention big uphill and downhill shots for this course are describing the old course. The original course described here is relatively flat, but still a good time.

Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 19, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun layout, requires precision throwing. I quite enjoyed the layout of the course and only wished it was a little bit longer.

Cons:

Tees are WAY too small, and they are raised up, so if you come off the end you could turn your ankle. The only saving grace is that the course is fairly short and you don't need any monster drives.

The only other con is that the course is kind of small. There was only 1 hole over 300 feet.

Other Thoughts:

The other course here looks better. I'm going to hit that next time for sure.

2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 25, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

EDIT: This property has recently become 2 full 18 hole courses, when I played it was just 27 holes.
This is 27 holes of some major elevation! A disc golf course at a ski resort is perfect land for the non-winter season. The new 9 holes are now the first 9 holes. This course is physically challenging due to the elevations. Bring water and snacks, you will be glad you did.

Other Pros:
-DisCatchers
-boxed in tees (rubber)
-water hazards
-uphill/downhill shots
-descriptive tee signs (showing next hole direction)
-easy to navigate
-floating disc retriever next #11's basket
-down hill bombs are very fun
-the pond looked clean and pretty

Cons:

I didn't know the new 9 holes were the first 9 holes so I accidentally played #10 as the first hole because the tee signs were not updated. The basket numbers were updated so I did realize that and went back to start at the true. #1. (#10 was my favorite hole so I didn't mind)

-very long walk from the last hole to the parking lot (but you could stop at the bar and grill along the way)

-steep walks down hills were tough on my bad knees

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the course and the physical workout. #10 was my favorite because it's a 310 foot downhill shot with the pond to the left. This hole also had a concrete tee pad. A short tee was available on this hole.

The last hole was a 600+ foot downhill bomb which was a nice way to end.

Bear Creek is definitely worth playing!

Nice work, Bear Creek! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 13, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I played Bear Creek when it first opened, and now again this year. What an improvement on the wooded holes! The paths are tight, but clear cut. And, much of the underbrush has been trampled down. On this particular 18, I like the variety of holes. You have some uphill, some downhill. The longest hole I believe is in the neighborhood of 420 feet. Then, there are some short ace runs mixed in. The tees are in great shape and the right length. The fun factor is everywhere. There are three amazing water holes here. The epic downhiller with the pond on the left, known as #10, is one of my favorite holes of all time. The hole where the creek is the fairway is one of the most unique holes I've ever played (memory is fading, I believe it's #17).

Cons:

There are two that I noticed, but one will go away with more play on the course and maintenance. That one is the abundance of nasty shule and poison ivy. Be careful if your disc goes off the fairway. The second is a slight safety issue. Many of the next tees are very close to the prior holes basket. During casual play, this isn't really an issue. But, if a tournament is held that could make for long waits, or your head constantly being on a swivel. Also, on holes 2 and 3, there were some runners going through the course. 2's drive is to a blind basket, as is 3. Be vigilant.

Other Thoughts:

Bear Creek is quickly morphing into yet another Lehigh Valley-ish area gem. The course designers and maintenance crew (not sure if they are one in the same) are really getting out there and putting some great work in, and keep the course in great shape. I commend them for the work they have done in clearing out the wooded holes from 2011 to 2012's season. This course isn't as physically demanding as the Mountainside course. So, if you want a nice casual round, with lots of birdies and/or ace potential, and an epic downhill over the water shot, this course is for you! I only rate it a 3.5, instead of a 4, because of the potential safety issues.

Pros:

It's FREE! Great Views! Technical w/ a little distance mixed in. The course was not nearly as hard as people make it out to seem, for the first time playing this course I did not expect to score as decent as I did. I guess we will see after the second time I play. The front 9 play really quick, thankfully, because the terrain is a tad rough for the back 9 but it was still awesome. If you think mountain and the thought "not sure" or if you are not active do not bother coming out. French Creek and Iron Hill still way harder. This is an awesome awesome course to play and can't wait to get back and try to Ace.

Cons:

lost 2 discs, but I expected to since most people said it isn't hard to do here.

A Decent Ski Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Bear Creek is a rugged combination of two disctinctly different courses. The front nine features a pair of open risk/reward holes followed by seven wooded holes. These seven holes feature both left and right-turning doglegs over rocky terrain and includes a wandering stream that could easily add a circle and an extra stroke to your score. The back nine is a verticle hike that meanders up the face of the ski slopes. While most of the first nine holes are fairly flat (#1 and #2 being the exception), the second nine most definitely has elevation in play, including uphill, downhill, and across the fall line.

This course is a great example of the type of course that forces players to weigh the value of "going for it" or "laying" up. This is always in play on the downhill holes, but this really gets kicked into high gear right from the start on holes #1 and #2, throwing over disc-stealing water.

The baskets are in great shape and feature tape to point to the next tee. If that wasn't enough, there is no shortage of arrows that also point to the subsequent tee. Garbage cans are all over the course and appear to be used as there is no garbage on the course. Picnic tables are also available on/between several holes and are a great way to take a break from all the verticle elevation changes. The steps after hole #9 are well crafted and make it easy to start your ascent.

Cons:

Some of the lanes on the front nine didn't seem to be quite there yet. Hopefully as time goes on and this course evolves, the lines required on the wooded fairways will be easier identify. For the back nine, most of the holes seemed to be straight throws from guarded tees to open baskets or straight throws from open tees to guarded baskets without many doglegs. WIth the exception of a few holes, most of the fairways seemed to be a similar length.

The walk from the tee on #16 down to the basket is very steep and dangerous. The safer route down is to head back down the fairway to #15, which brings its own set of dangers.

Given all the land available at this course, it doesn't seem that it was utilized to maximum potential. Specifically, the nearly half mile walk from the 18th basket back to the parking lot is somewhat ridiculous.

The elevated tees at Bear Creek are pieced together from pieces of rubber mats and are fairly small. This combination is no good for those holes that require any kind of run-up.

The mosquitos and gnats were absolutely opressive. Large pools of stagnant water all over the course likely serve as breeding grounds for these nuisances. Normally, I'd put this into "Other" because this type of problem is only in play for part of the year, but considering that this course is only open part of the year, this is going to be a full-time issue.

Goose poo was all around the basket on hole #2. Drives parked on this hole might end up being punished anyhow.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a workout. The first half requires careful, sure footing. The second half is a hefy cardio climb and will quickly make you huff and puff...even for those in fantastic shape. If you're easily winded, not good on your feet, or not in good physicial condition, I wouldn't recommend attempting the back nine.

Overall, I'm happy to have another course in the Lehigh Valley. Given the space available at this resort, I just wish there would have been a bit more to it from a hole length and variety perspectie (specifically on the ski slope holes). That being said, once you've had a chance to play the championship caliber courses in the Lehigh Valley, give Bear Creek a rip.

Mixed Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Hole 1 & 2 are very fun opening shots for the course. Hole 18 is excellent as well

Cons:

Holes 3-7 are difficult and some with virtually no lane or path to the pin. This is a new course so with time these holes could be very fun. The tee pads aren't leveled with the ground which may be ackward for some and also some of the tee pads are on the smaller side. ******* THE BIGGEST CON YET : Hole 18. Hole 18 is an excellent hole with 1 MAJOR problem. The opening leads to the pavilion where people have weddings. On this day after we threw and were enjoying the long drives, when we were looking for our discs, we were greeted by someone from security walking towards us. She was telling us that we were talking to loud and that the wedding party could here us (even stated that she could here us from the teepad) . Now normally I wouldnt mind being told to not be loud except for the fact that she wanted us to whisper as we walked and played. She was also extremely rude and interrogated us about what we were doing (as if the discs in our hand, the pin we were walking to, and the bags of discs on our backs wasnt a big enough sign) and she also escorted us to just about the parking lot. Perhaps they should have thought about placing hole 18 within ear shot of where someone could have a wedding or perhaps maybe the wedding should have thought about having their wedding by where a FREE disc golf course is located.

Other Thoughts:

The course all in all was fun since it was new but, with the lack of the front holes being cleaned up (3-7) and the extremely rude personel, this course gets a 3. Once its cleaned up, ill be able to look past the rude persons and rate this course better.

room for improvement 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Like most people, I was excited about playing a free ski hill course after seeing the pictures on fb (before it was listed on dgcr.) My excitement came to a peak when we pulled into the parking lot and saw the awesome drop from tee to basket on hole1. 30 mph cross winds added to the experience that day! My excitement was quickly squashed when we got to the wooded holes 3-9, none of which seemed to have a discernable fairway. I like wooded holes as much as the next guy, but some use of a chainsaw would make these holes more pleasurable. After a short walk past the scum filled pond-complete with floating dead animals- you get to the open holes 10-18 and the workout begins. There is a nice mix of up and downhill shots with very little hiking in between. My group (2 big guys and 2 skinny guys) didn't really have a problem with getting winded, just take your time and it will be okay. 18 dumps you right at the lodge, so you can clean up a bit and get a drink or food if you like. You might want a drink as you contemplate the long uphill walk to get back to your car. Luckily we had two cars so we didn't have to deal with it.

Cons:

-The major con is the walk after 18. If I was there with only one car, I would probably park at the bottom and warm-up by walking up that hill first.
-I don't remember seeing any benches or trash cans on the course, not a problem for me but others seem to like those perks.
-There is no water, except at the lodge.
-New course = rough is REALLY rough! Forget about finding lost discs on certain holes. 18 took three of our discs and 1 stole a disc too.
-3-9 need a little clearing and maybe some alternate/longer tees.
-A few of the holes could use alternate/shorter tees to make the course beginner friendly-again, not a concern of mine.

Other Thoughts:

-When I heard that someone mentioned having the worlds here in a few years, I literally laughed out loud. This course is no where near that caliber and I don't know if it ever will be. As it sits now, the course is pretty good and there is great potential for improvement, but whoever had that worlds thought needs a reality check.
-Holes 3-9 really bring this course down, but 1-2, 10-18 almost make up it.
-Teebox for the short downhill hole, 16-I think, is the smallest teebox I've ever seen. It's probably only 3x3 and really that's all you need because the pin is so short that a run up would be complete overkill and is totally unnecessary.
-I can't really say that I will go back anytime soon, maybe because Tyler, Nocky, Iron hill etc are closer to me.
-Bear Creek is a resort that hosts some expensive weddings and other functions, so I can't help but wonder if dirty/sweaty dg'ers will be welcome in the lodge during such functions. I can see it now: daddy pays 30k for the wedding only to have it spoiled when someone yells F**K after losing a disc and it echoes down the hill and interrupts the vows. Just kidding, I don't know if sound would travel down the hill that well.

Too Much of a Good Thing? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 25, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Amazing layout, design and condition. The tee boxes are rubber and pristine. Course was easy to follow and filled with signature holes.

It's a disc golf experience that you won't forget, for many reasons, almost all of which are good. There are however, some challenges to overcome, see the cons.

Cons:

I hesitate to call some of the problems cons. You can't have the joy of incredible elevation changes without having to traverse that elevation. And if I'm not in shape, it's my own fault. But seriously, this is a physical challenge that shouldn't be underestimated.

If you're not in excellent shape, make sure to take some breathers from 10-14, or you will be hurting and unable to enjoy 15-18. I'm not in great shape, and I was suffering.

Poison Ivy is everywhere on the back nine. It's nearly impossible to avoid.

The joy of seeing your disc sail downhill on the epic 18th is quickly washed away when you look out over the lodge and see your car in the parking lot. It will look like a matchbox. It's a LONG walk in from 18. And it's uphill, but if 10-14 didn't kill you, my money is on you making it.

Other Thoughts:

Some hole information:

If you came, played 1 and 2 and left, you'd still have an experience.

#1 Right off the parking lot, under a gazebo you'll find the pristine # 1 tee box looking out over the a lake. You better have your A game or a disc you don't mind losing. Thick woods on the right, nothing but lake to the left and a precarious strip of sloped land where the basket sits in the middle.

#2 - This has an L shaped fairway that hugs the water. You can go for the pin but it's all carry over the lake. I'm not very long but I throw consistently between 280-300. There's no distances out yet for the course, but it looked closer so I took some off my drive and came up just short. I recommend throwing it a full 300 and being safe. I was able to recover my disc with the help of a big stick left behind by others.

#3 - #7- **EDIT (ALL of these holes have a clearly defined lane now. They are all fair for short holes. I removed my previous criticism). It is well laid out and the next tee box is almost always visible from the basket of the hole just finished. There are also orange arrows pointing you in the right direction.

#8 - This plays along a creek bed and has a clearly defined fairway. It requires a little anhyzer shot. It's a short hole with a lot of character.

#9- This hole is tight as well, but has a fair gap.

#10-14- I'd love to go into detail on these holes, because I think they were cool, but I was so intent on putting one foot in front of the other and not passing out that I can't recall much. They go up. That much I'm sure.

#15 - I was so happy to get to the 15th tee and see that I was going across the mountain. The mountain to my right the slope to my left. I throw a right hand backhand. I threw a pretty good one and was pleased, until it started hyzering down the slope. 250 feet later, I realized that I'd have to trek down and fight my way back up to the basket. Great hole, stupid me. (EDIT - If you get one of these hyzers...leave the disc, get it after putting out on 16, you'll thank me later.)

#16- This is a steep downhill short touch shot. It's easy to overshoot. The walk down is steep and I was tempted to just roll down to the basket to save energy.

#17- This is another side hill hole but without the threat of losing a hyzer down the mountain. It's a good solid hole that one day I hope to enjoy without being exhausted.

#18- This is an epic bomb down a massive hill. If you have anything left to give, you'll love this hole. Try not to look for your car over the lodge though, because the walk that awaits you can be depressing. (Keep a close eye on your disc, it's traveling a LONG way and can be tough to find.

I'll play this course again, but I'll make sure to take 10-14 real slow and hopefully I'll be in better shape. My hat's off to the designers of the course. They had an epic vision and pulled it off. I'm a diehard and I never thought I'd say this, but it might just be too much course for me. I gave it a 4.0. If 3-7 gets some more defined throwing lanes I could easily justify increasing that ranking. Not sure if anything can be done about the poison ivy, there's just too much of it.

Other Thoughts:

The original review for this course is no longer applicable as half the course is a different layout. The 'old' layout should have been listed on the site as 'extinct' and a new page created for the redesigned layout.
