Bear Creek Park

Not too shabby if u want play some disc… but it is definitely not the best out there. Lorch park in Cedar Hill is the best… Veterans over in central Arlington is excellent as well. There is a lot of open space on this course vs others… but it’s fun :-)

Oh WHAT!
I’ve spent so many hours, day and night (late night) at this park. These greens, those chains, that creek… words can hardly describe the number of great memories I’ve had at Bear Creek.
This was my home course when it came to my disc golf career. Bogey after bogey! Never have I been happier to earn a simple bogey…
This park is a little gem that the city of Grapevine holds. It’s secluded by the largest of trees. Surrounded by the quality smell, that each distinct season provides. Fall smells like Fall, Spring like Spring! You get my point…
This park has a nice running trail, softball field and I think a playground… Bathrooms too! In case nature calls ;)
This disc golf course is a Par 3 all around, but has it’s signature holes that you will reminisce about time after time. Hopefully I come back to my home course soon, and relive dates that are just tales from years past…

This is a great park and is also connected to Parr Park via trails. I ride my bike through here 3 or 4 times a week. Paved trails and Frisbee golf.

This is by far my favorite disc golf course I’ve ever played. I play quite often. I don’t live around the DFW area but anytime I am anywhere close to this area I stop and play this park. They have several holes where they can move the basket to make alternate holes which changes up the play quite a bit. Not too many long bomb holes. More so precise technical throws. This course separates the «good» players from the «great» players. Very heavily shaded, and is a great course to play even in the dead heat of summer.

My favorite place to play Frisbee golf. The park also has a small baseball field. It looks like the city is also working on the parking lot. The place is looking better and better each day. The park is tucked away from everything so it can be hard to find if you have never been there.

This is my favorite disc golf course. The trees here are huge and beautiful. It really is such a pretty park. I love that it has a little bit of hiking, a little bit of danger, and a lot of hard baskets. Tips for this course:
*This gravel parking lot is right after the baseball fields. Your car is going to get a little dusty.
*If you face the front of the parking lot you will see hole 1. If you look to the left, there is a path by the port a potty that leads to the back nine.
*This course is not dog friendly unless your dog has super agility. There is one particular hole that sometimes you have to cross a log Dirty Dancing style to get to the other side. It is not fun trying to carry a dog across. I thought it was a little hard for Muffin to maneuver through the course. She has to sit out on this one.
*The difficulty level for Bear Creek is a little high. Its easy to lose discs in the creek. Make sure to bring one or two cheap discs to lose.
*Sometimes this course gets crowded and you have to wait in line. However, it does not get as backed up as BB Owen.
*There are two tee boxes for every basket. One is advanced and one is regular. If you are looking at the tee box and thinking, man, this is ridiculously hard, look around for the other tee box.
*BC has the most secret smoking coves. Not that I’m ever in them, they are just there… if you choose to be in them.
*On the first hole you can walk on the pipe across or turn to the right and take the bridge.
*This course is booze friendly. I’ve been known to pack a few in my DG bag for Bear Creek.
Bear Creek is so fun. Walk on the wild side and walk the pipe. Cant get across the giant ravine hole? Walk the log.

I’ve never had a bad day of playing disc, though I did lose one here into murky water.
Some technical throws in the trees, not too many people, and nice scenery all around.

I had a good time in this park even though I’m not the best at disc golf. This course let me have some fun without totally embarassing myself. I had a hard time finding some of the goals, but managed to figure it out eventually. The scenary is relaxing and most of the players there are kind enough to bear with you if you’re slow or let you pass them if they’re falling behind. I recommend trying this area for a new experience, even if you haven’t thrown discs in a while. If nothing else, the walk is pleasant and you’ll probably meet people that can give you a few pointers.

I think Unilocal needs a 10 point rating system, Bear Creek deserves a 7, but not an 8, which would be a 3.5 out of 5, but can’t be done on the current system.
Anyway, I’ve played Bear Creek about 20 times, 10 times on each course (they have two 18 hole courses). Both are generally well maintained and are extremly tight (I’ll let you decide which course you like better, but I prefer the east course, the front 9 deserves a 4 out of 5). However, their practice range is very rough and definetely could use some room as the hitting areas are in bad shape. I recommend this course for an entire day of golf where you’re planning to play 36 holes.

One of, if not my absolute, favorite places to play in DFW.
It’s very well kept, and it’s a fascinating course. The first hole you’re throwing over water! It’s awesome!
The landscaping is beautiful. It’s fun to play here. .. lots of wildlife, and the course is pristine. The tees have maps to the upcoming hole and an overhead view of the current hole you’re playing. Various elevations and all sorts of different kinds of hazards. Heavy wood, but nothing you can’t manage.
There’s a big difference between heavy wood and unkempt crap.
This course is a gem up here. It rivals some of the Austin courses I’ve played. It’s lovely. Not really for beginners, but a hell of a place to learn the beauty of this game.
