A group of local business professionals and members of the golf industry — collectively known as Bear Creek Partners, LLC — recently purchased Bear Creek Golf Club in Murrieta. Members of the new management team have been and are currently involved in private golf club operations, acquisitions and dispositions across the country. Max Anderson, the club’s new general manager, brings a background of over 40 years in the golf industry that includes 30 years as director of golf at Saginaw Country Club in Saginaw, Mich. Bear Creek features a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. Routed around numerous mature oak trees, the layout was constructed to the strictest standards, under the personal supervision of Jack Nicklaus himself. Since opening in 1982, Bear Creek has hosted a number of tournaments and professional events ranging from the nationally televised 1985 Skins Game to a 2007 U.S. Open local qualifier. “It’s a real honor to be a part of a club and course that have so much history. Bear Creek Golf Club is entering an exciting phase of rebuilding its reputation. The feedback so far from the Bear Creek community and the club’s members has been incredibly supportive and rewarding. Their enthusiasm has been helpful in making the first steps of this new venture a success. Since our closing in mid August we have attracted over 60 new golf members.” said Max Anderson, General Manager of the club and a partner in Bear Creek Partners, LLC. Bear Creek Partners, LLC has restructured all membership categories, reduced initiation fees and monthly dues and totally revamped the food and beverage operation. Local PGA Tour member Tom Pernice recently remarked, “As a Bear Creek Golf Club member and Bear Creek community resident, I am thrilled with the positive adjustments the new management has made.” |
