Great course for occasional golfers needing to build up confidence. Need more 'entry-level' courses like this that won't cost you a dozen lost balls.

This is not my favorite course to play. But I play it with the league

Bear Creek President's Course is a short, flat, straight course--and I don't have a problem with that. Neither should you. It's ideal for walking -- and for working on your game somewhere besides a driving range. If you golf fairly regularly and can't break 90 here, then maybe golf isn't your game! :)
