Bears Grumpiest

Not sure what was up with the guy in the Pro shop? He barely said two words to me when checking me in and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. And the starter had a Napoleon complex.. Hopefully he'll check his attitude soon. Other than that, the rest of the staff were friendly enough. As for the course, was overall in fairly good shape, although some of the greens on the back nine we're a little beat up in spots. I'm wondering if they're getting ready to aerate them soon. For $119, thought it was a fair value and would play again.

A beautiful challenge

Hands down one of the most beautiful courses I’ve ever played, and certainly best in Vegas.

That being said, it was a very challenging course. I mean that in the best way. Every shot had to be thought out there wasn’t a hole that I would say you could just swing and pray.

All in all I would give the course an 8/10 only because the speakers in our cart didn’t work and we only saw the cart girl once.

Wonderful golf day

First time playing and the course was in great shape. Interesting gravel filled areas where I suspect many courses would have water. Pace of play was perfect because our foursome never had to wait on a single hole. The staff was friendly and helpful with advice about the course condition. Will definitely play again.

Just AWESOME

The Bear’s 18 favorite holes from all his designs west of the Mississippi River. Beautiful views! Gorgeous course! It’s a perfect day and an awesome setting to play golf. Bag drop off, pro shop, and the Marshall were all excellent. A perfect day!

5 some?

What a great course. However , course allowed a group of 5 at the first tee time of the day. By the 9th there was 3 groups stacked up. One of our group left , the group in front of us had to skip a hole 10 , we skipped hole 11. They were clueless . Marshall didn't care.

Well taken care of

The greens are still recovering from aeration and had some under repair spots, other than that the course was in fantastic condition.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the driving range, short game practice area, and practice putting green are in good shape.

I was pleasantly surprised with this course. I got it on a hot deal and thought that maybe it was a gimmicky course. It was actually just a good deal for the money. The holes were fun.

Bear’s Best worth a visit

Challenging, but fair layout. Probably a course to play twice. Angles to greens are very important. Greens have a fair bit of poa and breaks are we’re not consistent. Overall in very good shape and a good value for Vegas golf.

Enjoyable but not outstanding

This is our 8th year with 8 players traveling to Vegas for a 4 day golf outing. We have enjoyed many courses and basically enjoyed Bears Best although it was unanimous that the value was not there to support the $249 greens fee. Sorry but the entire team took Bears best off the roster for next year because of this. Our other. three courses were Los Prados, Rhodes Ranch and Rio Secco. All less money and generally as good as or better condition than Bears Best. A little disappointing as we were all expecting a premium experience. Still enjoyed our round, hope you take this review as constructive. Cheers

Grille Room TV

BB recently refurbished the chairs and carpet in the Grille. Very nice. Thanks.

But took out 2 nice size (could have been larger) flatscreens and installed a single, tiny flatscreen. Disappointing.

Golf how it should be

Great course, pace of play was good, practice facilities decent, really enjoyed my round. If improvements could be made, it would be a bit more sand in the bunkers and off the course, a decent bar area for a beer post round. But this is me being incredibly harsh. Overall a great experience.

nice track

This is a nice track with a good clubhouse, nice practice area and friendly staff. greens were a little rough following a touch winter but all else was in good shape. The value was just OK for an afternoon tee time being so far out of town and not crowded.
