Overpriced

Over $250 per person per game for this course is not really worth it.

Many other courses in Las Vegas have similar views and in better conditions and layout that do not charge such high price .

Fantastic conditions and it’s February! Played here 2 days straight. Day 1 slow pace of play about 5 hrs. Day 2 excellent pace. Most courses would love to have the current conditions of Bears Best in peak season,! It’s a gem!

The course was great besides the bunkers

The course was great and fun. Fast greens. Everywhere on the course was green. Very nice and professional. But the bunkers had little amount of sand. The ball flies out farther than you want because the sand was hard. Other than the bunkers, the course was great. Just don't land in the green side bunkers especially near the pin placement.

Nice Course , but now too expensive for locals

Very Simple , Our golf group from Henderson use to play there 6 to 8 times a year when it was $85 . You have now priced most locals out of the market.

Amazing

Susie and I loved everything about the staff/ driving range and playing golf. Especially important was to meet and be w/ PAUL WILSON. We all 4 had the most wonderful dinner at T-Bones ChopHouse in the Red Rock Casino that evening…an experience Susie & I will never forget. Most surely will come back to VEGAS and BEARS BEST in the future and do the whole thing over again. Thanks for being w/us PAUL.

Everything was perfect until this happened

Bears Best is a wonderful golf course. It's set around a beautiful community up in the hills where you can get a great view of the Vegas strip from some holes. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition and the staff that checked me in were courteous as they should be for a top tier golf course. They take your bag upon check-in and have it ready on a cart after you paid your green fees. Driving range was spacious as well as the putting green. So why the 3 star rating? Well, it's difficult because the course itself has a great layout and is well maintained. So were the staff. But after my round and headed out for the day when I checked my golf bag my GPS was missing! I am from CA so i was visiting and was staying in a hotel room. I charged my GPS the night before, and stuck it in my bag. But since the carts were equipped with GPS, I didn't bother to use mine. But only when I returned back to the hotel did I notice it was missing. I checked my entire hotel room and rental car...nowhere to be found. Also, I always keep it in a zipped up pocket in my golf bag so it doesn't fall out. So the only way it could have gone missing is if one of the "friendly" staff members lifted it when they took my bag and placed it on the cart when I checked in. I feel incredibly fortunate that I've had the ability to play a few top tier courses across the West. And not once have I ever experienced someone essentially stealing from my golf bag. I've heard stories about sleeves of balls and/or GPS devices go missing when traveling by airplane (which, is truly unfortunate), but never at a classy golf course. But after this experience at Bears Best now I stay cautious and never check my bags in with the staff anymore. This way I can always keep an eye on it and prevent my equipment from walking away.
