About Bear Creek Golf Club

Bear Creek Golf Club in Murrieta, California, is a private 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus Design records the course as opening in 1982. This is important because the existing database attribution to Robert Trent Jones is incorrect and appears to be a same-name/course-identification error.

The current back course is published at 7,188 yards, par 72, with a 75.8 rating and 145 slope. The routing sits below the Santa Rosa Plateau in the Temecula/Murrieta Valley and is part of a private club rather than a public daily-fee operation. The club's 26,000-square-foot clubhouse supports dining and private functions.
