Bear Creek Golf Club (East)

Overview: Bear Creek Golf Club’s East Course is one of two Ted Robinson championship layouts at the large Dallas-Fort Worth facility. The operator lists the East at par 72 and 6,670 yards from the championship tees. Robinson’s design works with the land rather than forcing it into a flat template, preserving oak groves, existing contours and water features as part of the strategy. Lush Bermuda fairways move toward greens guarded by bunkers and water, while multiple tee positions keep the layout usable for a wide range of players. The East course has the scale and atmosphere of a resort property, but its strongest identity comes from the natural setting.

History: Bear Creek’s East and West courses were built in 1980 and have developed together as the club’s paired championship offerings. The operator describes the property as open and accessible to the broader golf community, and the club has hosted PGA Tour qualifiers, the Texas State Open and AJGA events. That tournament history confirms that the East course is more than a recreational companion to the West layout. It is a complete competition venue, with the same Robinson design principles applied to a different sequence of fairways, trees and water.

Did You Know? The East and West courses share the same 73.4 course rating and 138 slope from the championship information published by the operator, even though their total yardages differ slightly. The East is listed at 6,670 yards, while the West reaches 6,690.
