Always fun to play

Good conditions; slow play towards the end. For the love of the game folks, if you're going to drink on the course have a little respect for those behind you and keep pace like you did on the front nine before alcohol kicked in and made you inconsiderate of those around you :(

Great option only 15 minutes from the strip

This round was a shotgun start so that players could finish 18 before the big game. It's a great course, nicely laid out with friendly staff. The carts have bluetooth speakers and GPS. Definitely worth the $85 rate including cart.

Well Oiled Operation

Recently played my 8th round at BB and this time it was a Sunday morning shotgun on Super Bowl Sunday to get everyone out and back in time for the game. On top of it they had a NV golf tour event at the same time!

9 out of 10 public courses this would be a death march. Not here. JC runs a heck of a game out there. Carts were organized - he somehow knew where everyone was by last name. UNREAL!

Breakfast burritos compliments of the course chased the late night away and we were off to a great round of golf. Course was in tremendous condition. Staff was courteous up and down starting with the bag drop fellas. Thank you for a great day Bear’s Best team!

Great course, bad organization

I had an 8:15a tee time but upon arrival I was told I had an 8:30am start along with everybody as they were hosting a tournament. Each tee was assigned two foursomes. It started fine but by the fourth hole it was true hit and wait golf and then shortly wait, hit, wait. It really was disappointing to pay a premium price and have expectations turn into frustration. So much so, I was forced to retire by the 12th hole due to my back tightening up. The course is great, but I don’t understand not being offered a rain check or something alternative. I had no choices. I won’t play there again.

Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your round with us and that you were not informed that your tee time was a part of a shotgun start we were having. We will make sure to use your review to improve on our communication of such information moving forward. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.

Expected nothing less from Jack!

Course was fantastic. Tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape. Fairways were plush. Bunkers perfect. Amazing views and elevation changes. Expected nothing less from a Nicklaus course, but to my surprise it was even better! Highly recommend playing it. You will not be disappointed!
