The History of Bear Creek: A Premier Golf Community
The Bear Creek community was thoughtfully developed in conjunction with the Bear Creek Country Club, which was established in 1982. The vision was to create a premier, private golf and residential enclave on the Eastside. The Jack Frei-designed golf course quickly gained a reputation for excellence, attracting residents who desired a high-end, recreational lifestyle. Over the years, the neighborhood has matured into one of the area's most distinguished addresses.
