Great Course

The course even with aerated greens played very well and was in immaculate shape. The pace of play was slow… we waited to tee off of every hole, and our cart kept telling us to speed up…. That was a little confusing, but otherwise awesome place to play. One of the hardest courses I have played.

Bears Best Delivered

Even though the greens had been recently punched, I walk away feeling this is one of my favorite tracks to tee it up on. Beautiful setting, friendly staff. Great range and chipping/putting areas. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Vegas.

Outstanding layout. Fair challenge. Unfortunately the greens we’re sanded but guess I should have figured something was up due to great price. Will

Nice place

The staff was great. Course is in great shape, one local skipped in front of us, for a couple of holes when we caught up i told him that was wrong. He said he missed his start time and was waiting behind the group behind us. So, now we have to wait, for YOU now? Not cool buddy. We didnt miss our tee time. And i dont want to wait for you. He gave a weak apology then let us through. Arrogance, that some people have in nicer areas. Been playing since 1969. I dont do that..
