Great course, great condition

First time playing the course. Twilight rate starting at 3pm. Last two holes in the dark... What a course! Greens were fast and in excellent shape. Great place of play. Challenging and scenic as heck. I wish I could go back and play it again tomorrow... Top 10 course of all time for me.

Morning round and the weather was breezy but nice. Pace was just under 4 hours, but wasn't held up by any groups. Course was in great condition. Greens very good shape with a few bumps here and there. Overall a great day. Would certainly recommend this course to anyone.

Amazing Course

We played Bear's Best on 9/9/21 with a 3:00 tee time. We knew what we were in for, it was 105 degrees. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The driving range and practice area were top notch. I was impressed with the course condition given the extremely hot temperature. The course was green and in exceptional shape. Bunkers were raked and the sand was fluffy. The challenge we had is that carts were only allowed on the cart path yesterday. My Father had recently had his hip replaced and it turned out to be way too much walking for where he is at in his recovery. We had to end our day after nine holes. I think we could have played all 18 if we could have used the cart on the fairway. Overall we were impressed with the facility and would love to come back.

Terrific! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, but we're sorry that you and your dad weren't able to play all 18 due our cart path restriction. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.

Great /Interesting Course

They were preparing for Over seeding so the conditions were not what I was expecting. I am sure that it is usually great. Every other aspect of playing Bears Best was wonderful. I will return when they are not Over Seeding. Saw the biggest houses that I have ever seen along this course. The picture is of one home, I thought some of them were middle schools!

Staff is great but the course showed the effects of a hot dry summer. Wish they had the ability to groom the sand traps but understand trying to find additional staff is difficult right now.

Wonderful experience

Wow! What a course. This is a must play. Bear's Best isn't necessarily Jack's most difficult holes, but the most interesting ones. Excellent staff, cart service, top notch golf carts with, water, coolers, blue tooth speakers to pair with your phone, GPS in carts, etc. All amenities A+.

I've read several reviews saying the course conditions were "Meh".

Balderdash. Course was fire! :)

P.S. You want to see where the 1% spends their days when they aren't in Monte Carlo or the Bahamas? Bear's Best is lined with their houses. Top notch, soul crushing, "Where did I go wrong in life?" scenery.
