Last Day

I didn’t see when I booked my tee time that the over seeding had began or I would not have booked this course. The greens were so slow and not true. The fairways were already started in the process. Just a waist of money. I heard it was the last day they were open until the over seeding was complete.

Great Course

Love this course! Even though fairways were tilled and greens sandy punched. Greens rolled well even though recently punched. I have never seen fairways tilled instead of punched but new to Vegas golf. Probably my favorite course in summerlin. It plays fast, finished in 3 hours as a 2 some with the kindness of 4 young studs letting us play thru.

The Golden Bear knows golf course design

A classic Nicklaus design. If you can move ball left to right then you gain an advantage. Great mix of uphill, downhill and well bunkered holes. A must play while in Las Vegas.

Bad policy

As a Vegas resident , Bears best is in my list of courses I play regulalry. I always enjoyed this Jack Nicklaus layout which can be played for under $100 for a local. But yesterday I was unpleasantly surprised when the starter drove me and my clubs to the 1st hole and said sorry you have to pay $ 50 to have your own cart! So I had to ride with a stranger who similarly was , as a local, surprised at this policy. I quit after 9 holes and most likely wont go back.

The starter was curt and rode and then he drove off with my phone and at the least could have returned it to me but instead had left it at the club house...

Agreat course but obviously not for single players any more.

Underwhelming

Bear’s Best sounds like it would be an interesting and cool course to play. In reality, it’s a pleasant course in decent shape, but nothing special, unique, or memorable. In fact, I can’t remember a single hole. The most interesting part of the round was checking out the amazing homes that line the course, they are truly spectacular. This is a slightly above average course that’s priced like a premium property. For the money, the Paiute courses are a much better bet.

Course review

This course used to try support the local players. However, due to the golf course demand of non local entities, the price has surged for locals and has not become the course of play for my family, which has supported this course from the beginning. THE PRICE ISN'T WORTH IT.

One of the best tracks

Everything was amazing from the moment we entered the parking lot. Staff were polite. Course was in great shape.

The only problem we had is that we teed off at 7:10 and only saw the cart lady at the turn. 110 out.

Back Nine Is Great

Front nine is pretty tight and frustrating. Lots of target golf off the tee, but the back nine opens up with a string of great holes. Staff are A+

Bear's Best? Yes!

I booked online for around 9am but got there first thing to see if I could get out any earlier. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Sometimes when you book online they look at you as less then a regular player, not here. From the outside services staff to the golf shop staff to the starter, everyone was great! Lots of good insight on the best way to play the course. The greens looked beautiful, although not as fast as they looked. I will definitely be back.
