Par 3 with Las in the background Photo submitted by u000005365082 on 11/20/2012
I like the course & the facility and have played several times in the past month. I was very disappointed to arrive at the course on Tuesday to discover that the greens had been aerated and heavily sanded since I played there on the previous Friday. I understand greens have to be maintained; but I would expect to be notified that this work has been done so that I can decide if I want to play the course
Thank you for your review! We're glad that you enjoyed our course, but we apologize that you weren't notified of our recent aerification. We do have aerification notes and icons on our tee times so golfers have that information before booking. We apologize if that info was overlooked when you were booking your tee time. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Greens were a tad shaggy. I hear they were getting punched the right behind us as we played.
Tee boxes needed some mowing too.
Nice facilities.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Outstanding! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bear's Best Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Terrific! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Excellent Experience
A fantastic course. This was my #1 course on my trip to Vegas. A fun layout with holes taken from other Nicholas courses. Stay on the fairway and you can score well on this gem. Expensive, but worth it.
Fantastic! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Fun course with Vegas in background
We had a group that played for our annual March madness trip and it was so much fun. Course was in great shape. Played tough but was awesome. We are looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks to the staff for a great course and experience.

Not for the faint of heart
Really liked the course and wanted to give it five stars but there were a couple of hiccups.
Pace-Late mid-week morning. Nobody in front, nobody behind. Played with an elderly gentleman who had a staff caddy. I do not think we saw anyone until the last few holes. Never pressured.
Conditions - Understand the time of year, but seemed dry. Was well mowed but compared to what I had played in Vegas during the week, just seemed a bit off. Nothing horrible, just off.
Staff - Inside, pretty typical. Outside, the people were great from the bag boys to the starter. Caddy was for the other gentleman but he still gave me pointers about the layout (not green reading) and also helped watch my ball and made sure we both located our balls. Complimentary with my shots and had a way of putting a good spin on comments after bad shots.
Value - Pretty typical Vegas but due to everything else, very well worth it
Layout- Hard. A lot had to do with unfamiliarity, but a lot of the holes, you have no idea where the green is or what is lurking behind the rise/bend/sign (10th). Most holes play pretty tight and green would have to be considered on the small side. Greens? Good gravy. Designed by masochists with all the slopes and elevation changes. Absurd ridge in the middle of #5 and at either #12 or #13, there is a straight shot slope across the green (of course, my approach was just to the left and after chipping short of the green, the ball rolls across the fringe, all the way to the other side). Bunkers? Forget about it. If you have good control, obviously not has hard. If you spray shots even a little off line. Grin and just remember you are not at work.
Amenities-Did not eat but partner did and said it was great. Range is WAY off the beaten path. For the day/time, they had bays set up right in the middle of ground under repair. Only two of us so we both played forward in the better grass. They give you a bag of about 25-30 balls. Not near enough for me as I hit easily 3x that many before a round. Assume you have to go back to get more but there were plenty of unused balls left at other bays so I just scrounged those up. Would have been nice to have the target distances identified somehow. Balls themselves were a complete hodgepodge of brands/models which stinks due to the unknown consistency/characteristics between each brand. Did I hit that one better than the last one or was it a better ball??
Overall-Has a few low-lights/quirks, but overall a good experience. Did not play well at all but thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back if possible.

Grass long
I thought the grass on the tea boxes fairways and greens were way too shaggy
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff. Thanks for visiting Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Windy
Great Staff especially Jose! Great Course in excellent shape will play here again! It was a tad windy kind of like playing Carnoustie.
Excellent! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bear's Best Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
