Bear Creek GC in StL - Any Archland advice?

[WUTiger]

This is to my Archland guys. The MAGA Amateur Circuit Round #3 gets played at Bear Creek GC in Wentzville on June 30. I've never played there.

Any advice from my Archland pals on what to expect, how the course plays, speed of greens, dangerous pitfalls, etc?

Any tips would be appreciated, @teamroper60, @rickd, @Rick_D, @CoachB25, @Brian W, @Club Rat, @bshack, @oiler69, @kenstl, @MissouriHacker, @Tim Williamson.

Sorry John, I have only played BC a few times and I do not recall the course enough to offer any insights.

Good luck in the event.

Sorry, I haven't been around much.  Just had our second kiddo so been hitting courses etc but not much time on the computer.  I played BC once this year and find it to be a horrible course in how its managed and the cost.  It is not kept up very well either for the price.  I would spend my money at at least 15 other courses in and around St Louis.

Hope it went well with you buddy!!  We need to put something together for an Archland gathering again

BW,

I already played it last week and shot a 95. The fairways and tees were good, but the greens didn't drain very well and were sloooooow. We played between rainstorms, so the rough hadn't been cut.

I actually took 7th place in the Senior HDCP flight; two 20 HDCPers didn't even break 100, lots of people had trouble trying to chop out of the rough.

We'll try to get an Archland golf event sometime soon. I've got two school trips and I'm helping at an in-town conference, so it may be a post-Labor day thing.

Hope mother and baby are doing well. Congrats!

Well done!!  Yeah, that was my experience there!!

I would love to something at Far Oaks or Gateway this year since we did Stonewolf last year

I haven't played Far Oaks in a couple of years, time to do it again.

Gateway is also fun. Love the challenge of the cross-bunkers... CBs really keep you thinking.

Either one would be good.
