I’m not from down south but I’ve played Bear Creek quite a few times. It’s a great course and has many beautiful homes around it. It’s been there for while, I think it opened in 1983. Most of the homes around the course have been there a while. There are a few newer homes but the course it pretty well built out now. Theres acres of empty land to the north and in the hills to the west but around the actual course its built out. You will pay a hefty premium to live within the gates. Most of those homes are up in the 1 million plus area. I did find this one though for $700K, right on the 11th tee. Price wise this looks like a good deal for Bear Creek.
Just remember when looking at homes on golf courses that you want to stay away from home on fairways, especially homes on the right side of fairways. Buy behind a tee box or a near the green.
