Drive past the unassuming, red brick signage and groomed shrubs down a lovely private road that passes the 18-hole golf course (with its trademark bear claw sand trap) and you'll find yourself at the clubhouse of Bear Creek Country Club. Bear Creek is a members-only club and members have access to a number of amenities including a golf shop, locker room, practice range, fitness room, lounge and restaurant. Non-members are invited to host special events as Bear Creek Country Club and to take advantage of the full-service catering that Bear Creek is proud to provide.
