Bears Best, one of a kind courses in Vegas.

Course is in amazing shape, greens are not fast and are kept in good shape. The bunkers are taken care of.

Range is always is good shape and complimentary golf balls are provided. Staff is friendly as well. Clubhouse food it’s always fresh and really good.

Players in front of us were behind schedule after two holes. Staff mentioned greens had been recently aerated, so they were not fully up to par yet.

OMG!!!!!

IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY BEAR'S BEST YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO. THE LAYOUT IS AMAZING, THE COURSE CONDITIONS ARE IMPECCABLE, WITH THE ONLY DOWNSIDE WAS THE FIRMNESS OF THE SAND IN THE BUNKERS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GET UNDER THE BALL. THE BLACK SAND BUNKERS HOWEVER, PLAYED MUCH EASIER AS THEY WERE MUCH SOFTER AND THE LOOK FROM THE TEE BOX OF THE BLACK SAND MADE IT FEEL LIKE I WAS IN HAWAII... THE GREENS HAD JUST BEEN AERATED JUST 5 DAYS BEFORE WE PLAYED BUT WERE STILL VERY FAST AND NOT TOO BUMPY.. CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THEM WHEN THE GREENS ARE NORMAL. THIS IS A MUST PLAY WHEN IN VEGAS AND AND OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY SOME OF MR. NICKLAUS ' GREATEST DESIGNS. WINNER!!!!!

Worst experience at the golf course

My wife and I Barely finished 18th hole because the cart was out of battery. My co-player informed the course but no one came to help us. I had to leave the cart on the cart path and walked to the car in the parking lot.

Then I noticed I left my Bushnell speaker in the cart and went back to get it.

When I was walking back to the car after getting the speaker from the cart I was stopped by a security guard (I think The company was Park Ridges) and was told he had been watching me for 5 minutes because I was acting suspiciously.

Aii I did was carrying the back to the car and went back to the cart to get my speaker.

He was so rude and told me to wait to see his supervisor. He kept saying I was on the tape because the cameras are everywhere.

I had a tough day because of not properly charged cart. And I had to stay another 30 minutes to prove I am not guilty. What a nonsense I was accused of stealing my own speaker. The security guard kept saying he saw I was wondering down the street for 5 minutes. I was only back-and-forth from the cart to my car.

The security guard didn’t apologize to me.....no one from the course was helping me.
