I'll be back... Often.

Loved this course. Great, friendly staff from the guy who checks you in at bag drop off, all the way to the cart girl. Carts have your name on them, coolers with ice & water bottles & are equiped with GPS. Driving range was beautiful. & This was just a phenomenally gorgeous course. Loved the lay out & it forces you to really design your shots as you go. It's far harder than some of the courses I'm used to but because it forces you to really think about your shots a bit more I scored under 90. Best game I've ever played in my life & at one of the most beautiful & well maintained courses I've ever played. Go to this course. If you're in Vegas & you see a deal on their website or the Golfnow app & you're not sure... Be sure. It's a wonderful experience you will not regret.

Great Course

Really enjoyed the course at Bears Best. Very good conditions and great staff. The only complaint I had is that the range opens at 7A.M. , if you have the 6:50 tee time you do not have the ability to warm up for your round. I suggest the range be open 30 minutes prior the first tee time so all guests can experience the range. Other courses in the Las Vegas area do this. Bears Best please consider this idea.

Making tee time a day before

I went there not feeling good and the staff was very nice to my needs.I'll play again when I'm better and I'll thank the staff for being understanding when I was under the weather. It was a fun day being under the weather.

I still had a great time with Out of towners.

Punched greens Monday

If I had known they were going to punch the greens earlier this week, I wouldn’t have paid $129 to play. The course layout is nice, but putting on shag carpet is never fun.

Gorgeous and Fun Course

Course was beautiful and buddy and I played quickly as a twosome around 1pm on a Wednesday. Least amount of wind we dealt with all week and this was 4th course we played during our trip. Lots of fun holes and more elevation changes than I expected. Only one hole didn't fit my eye from the tee which was the hole from Castle Pines golf course but I did think it was cool they planted pine trees on the hole to replicate the original. Few holes even had black sand to match the holes from the Course they replicated. Definitely a good value for the money imo and I'd play it again next time I was in the area.

Nice course but very dissapointed!

Booked my tee time on March 29th, for 6:40am on May 4th. We were paired up with a couple that were members and they were really nice. After finishing the 8th hole, we proceeded to the 9th tee box only to be stopped by course staff to hold up and let two foursomes from a "shotgun" to play! I asked what? We were not informed of any tournament when we checked in. So we had to wait for the two foursomes to tee off before we could tee off on #9. When we finished the 9th hole, I went in and spoke with the pro, Joe. I told him of my dissappointment and he appologized. Then he offered me another round if I would come back. I already had my tee times secured for the following three days. So he handed me his business card and told me to call him when I returned to Las Vegas. I wanted to finish the round with we did, 2 1/2 hours later. This is unacceptable! Very disappointing. What would Jack do?

Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Definitely come here

Visiting from out of town, this was my favorite of the three I played. Course was impeccable, great greens and fairways. Margins were top notch.

It's a difficult course that requires a lot of iron accuracy but fairways are decently wide. The mountain backdrop was great.

Free water bottles with ice was a nice touch in the desert.

Grass driving range as well.

Bear's worse greens and bunkers

The green were not smooth. It was very rough to put. The bunkers do not have enough sands. It was like chipping on the concrete from the cart path. Not worth the money. Most of the hole layout from Jack's courses in Mexico and one from Arizona. Save your money and play some where else.
