Over the past year Bear Creek Golf Complex analyzed guest feedback and decided to make major changes to the course and its maintenance. The two main focuses were the bunkers and turf. The course has recently announced the completion of the changes.
Brian Calhoun, PGA Teaching Professional, shared his thoughts on the recent changes. "In a continuing attempt to provide you with the best product and golf value in the East Valley, our golf courses are better than ever this year. We have some new and improved golf course maintenance practices that we would like to share with you."
Our overseeding process on The Bear Course this year changed to dynamically improve the putting surfaces. In addition to the perennial ryegrass and poa trivialis seed that is normally used for overseeding greens, we've added creeping bentgrass to the mix to give a smoother, fuller texture to the surface. Furthering our effort to make the greens smooth and true was the application of three times the amount of seed on the greens that has been applied in years past.
In addition, new Toro mowers have drastically improved the quality and uniformity of cut on the grass. The result: the greens at Bear Creek are better than ever. Come out and enjoy the improvements that we've made. We think you'll be glad that you did," said Calhoun.
