We are the Bear Creek Men's Golf Club (BCMGC) located in Chandler, Arizona.  From a membership perspective, we are one of the largest men's golf clubs in the Valley of the Sun.  Our membership consists of amateur players with single and double digit handicaps.  Our membership includes the AGA/USGA registration as well as organized events on a weekly basis for members.  Part of this membership also includes the benefits of relationship between our organization and the host course at the Bear Creek Golf Complex and their staff and management.  There is an annual membership fee established by the volunteers that organize the events, as well as interact with the hosting course.  This fee covers the annual AGA/USGA costs, various events as well as year-end events.  Our volunteers are not compensated for any services and we provide financial recaps to our membership.

 

Our club and home course, the Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course, allows play to occur from four sets of tees at Par 71.

 

Blue:

  • This is the default tee we play from and all players can select these tees
  • Yardage is 6418 with a rating of 69.2 and slope rating of 114

White:

  • Optional forward tee location for those 60+ years of age
  • Yardage is 5978 with a rating of 67.0 and slope rating of 109

Red/White Combination:

  • Optional forward tee location for those 70+ years of age
  • Yardage is 5469 with a rating of 64.5 and slope rating of 101
  • Red Tees = 1,3,6,7,9,11,14,17,18
  • White Tees = 2,4,5,8,10,12,13,15,16

Red:

  • Optional forward tee location for those 75+ years of age
  • Yardage is 4990 with a rating of 62.3 and slope rating of 94

 

As a policy, we allow players to change their tee assignments one time per quarter.  This is to allow for consistency and minimize setup as we use Golf Genius (GG), an automated real-time scoring application to track scores.  In addition, during our Saturday events, our net games take into account the course rating & slope along with a players handicap index to level the playing field so that players of the four possible tees are treated fairly; this is handled via the Golf Genius software.

 

Outside of the times when we have special road trips or the course is unplayable, we tend to play on each and every Saturday morning at the Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course located on 500 East Riggs Road, just East of Arizona Avenue.
