Must Play

Very pleased with this course. Very friendly staff. Course layout is playable for mid-high handicappers. Beautiful views of mountains and Vegas skyline. Very nice houses along the course but are far enough away that errant tee shots are safe. Greens and fairways in very good shape especially for this time of year. I will play here again.

Pace of play

Pace of play was awful. I only got in 9 holes. We called 3 times for the Marshall, and the starter was not at the start and caused delays. People were playing multiple balls every shot and no one from the course came. No one would let groups play through.

great and fun course

The course is fun to play! Every hole is unique. Firm and lush fairways. Greens in great condition in the middle of winter. Pace of play very good -- we have a couple groups of slower players in front of us on the front 9, but somehow they all disappeared in the back 9. We started 12:45pm and finished before 4pm. The cart is the best we've ever seen -- GPS, soft seating, and even JBL bluetooth speakers! Also worth noting, there are many HUGE houses around the fairways. We had great fun playing this course.

The place to play

From the time I walked up to the club house, to the black sand on the 1st par 3 , all the way back down the beautiful 18th fairway I had the most Amazing time. The course is in near perfect condition and it’s easy to get lost on every tee box not only because of the course but the homes along the fairway or the beautiful Las Vegas strip in the background!!

Do yourself a favor when your in town and Play BEARS Best!! You’ll be back, I promise!
