Bear Creek has a Practice and Learning Center that includes a Practice Range, Short Game Area, and two Putting Greens.

Practice balls may be purchased in three sizes, Small (30 balls/$4.00), Medium (60 balls/$7.00) and Large (90 balls/$10.00). Players who wish to use the Practice Range and Short Game Area must purchase their practice balls beforehand in the Golf Shop.

Bear Creek now offers both monthly and annual Range Memberships. For $50 per month or $500 per year, players will receive one bucket of range balls of any size each day. Golfers committed to working on their games can have unlimited range balls each day for only $75 per month or $750 per year. Players who purchase a Range Membership agree not to share range balls with other patrons, and return any unhit range balls to a Bear Creek staff member. Range members who violate this provision may have their privileges revoked.

The Practice Range features all grass hitting stations. The Practice Range has an area for the general public, and a separate teeing area reserved for use by authorized groups and for individual and group lessons given by the Bear Creek Golf Academy Professional Staff. When utilizing the Practice Range, please hit from the designated stations in the appropriate area.

The Short Game Area is located on the west side of the Practice Range, and has a large green and a bunker. Players may hit chips, pitches up to 30-40 yards, and greenside sand shots in this area only. Players using the Short Game Area do so at their own risk. Please be aware of other golfers who may be practicing at the same time.

Two Practice Greens are available for putting. The largest green is just north of the Practice Range, and a smaller green is located by the first tee of the Cub Course. These greens are for PUTTING ONLY. Please use the Short Game Area to practice chipping and pitching.
