Quite disappointing

Course conditions for a Nicklaus course were very disappointing. Greens would be considered below average for a 30 dollar muni course. Really wanted to like this course was sorely disappointed. Maybe try reflection bay.

Golf Outing

This was our first time playing this course and it didn’t disappoint. The fairways were generous and the greens rolled true. We enjoyed ourselves even though the winds were blowing around 20-25 miles per hour I think this course would have played even better with no wind but that was my only complaint. The practice facility was great and the range balls were Callaway balls so it felt nice to hit quality balls on the range. The staff was very friendly and the starter was awesome as he took the time to ask us how our round was.

Although the course was aerated Monday the greens still were acceptable. This will be one of my go to courses whenever I'm in Vegas from now on. Fantastic layout. Beautiful scenery!

Best course we played

I played four courses on my visit to Las Vegas: Bali Hai, Paiute Snow Mountain, TPC Las Vegas and Bears Best. Bears Best was tops in all categories. Immaculate fairways and greens. Interesting holes with elevation changes and magnificent modern homes all around. The staff was accommodating and the Marshalls moved pace of play. Bravo Bears Best. I would avoid Bali Hai (constant airplanes overhead). The only true disappointment was TPC. Five hours and nobody to quicken the pace of play.

Good course

The course was well maintained, the fairways were green and mowed, the bunkers had quality sand and were groomed, the greens were a little long and tended to be slower than expected. The staff was helpful until the end and we were informed that everything was closed for a private party, the bar should always be open for an after round beverage and chance to wind down.

Long, beautiful course

My husband raved about this, a gift to him for taking care of my family during vacation. He said the staff was very kind and flexible. He enjoyed the excellent conditions and the beautiful greens. He was sore the next day but had a five-star experience.
