Super Bowl Sunday Shotgun

This was the best organized shotgun I've ever played in. Played in less than 4 hours. The staff made it clear that pace of play was important, and it seemed most people listened. As always, the girls in the bar/restaurant were fantastic. I love Bear's Best. The selection of clothing is second to none. I'd double the stars if possible.

Very slow play

Cart keeps telling us we are 20-30mins behind; no Marshalls to enforce and speed things up. Griup in front of us was so slow. Some greens were bumpy. Overall the course is in good condition. Lots of tough sand bunkers

Very good golf in Vegas

Well maintained and fun course offered in Las Vegas. Facilities are top notch. Greens run true. The course should set up combo tees as the disparity from tees is huge. I created my own for play. Gold Green combo and Green White combo is recommended.

Great Layout, but overpriced

As a Las Vegas local, I’ve played Bears Best many times. I love the layout. Not too hard, but challenging enough. Very enjoyable. The par 5’s are reachable in two, but well guarded with bunkers. Unfortunately, over the past few years, the rates have gone up, as with many courses. I would play the course more, but in my opinion, it’s overpriced.

Lots of fun

Fun course, easy to play. The fairways are wide, and the greens are big. That doesn't mean it doesn't have it s difficulty The Bears design is evident with well placed bunkers and insulating greens. Pay particular attention to the stone markers at each hole, they will tell you which course and hole that particular hole is a replica of. Some holes will look familiar to golf fans, such as #18

Excellent course for the immediate or advanced men’s golfer,

The course is beautiful and challenging.

The greens could use a little work.

Some of the carrieswere a little bit long for me.

Nevertheless I love my round with friends.

A good day in Vegas

A great layout, course conditions were very good, fairways were over seeded and in good condition, greens were in very good shape. Amazing views of the mountains and the city. The staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. Pace of play was my only complaint. I was hoping to see a ranger to speed things up I hope to play again on my next visit.

The Bear's Best layout is a lot of fun that will challenge your game. One of the best public tracks in the Vegas area in my opinion. Very good conditions, fast greens. Staff was very accommodating to us.
