We in paid bought shirt drinks and food took out to cart went to driving range and came back to find my cart was moved and or clubs were moved and food drink and shirt GONE! I guess I shoul be happy they left my clubs. Staff had NO CLUE. This happened in 15 min Beware. Not sure if it was staff or patron

Fun course

It was disappointing that there was no ranger keeping pace of play in the late afternoon. We ended up finishing at dusk, fifteen or twenty minutes behind pace.

Very Impressed

The course had been recently overseeded, but both the fairways and greens were in great shape. The layout was aesthetically appealing, but it was challenging at the same time. I recommend golfers of all levels to play this course. You will not be disappointed.

Arnold displays exceptional track

This course and it’s staff are all wonderful. From the time I drove up to the course, I felt very welcomed and well taken care of. Bear’s Best Las Vegas did not let us down at all. The staff was extremely accommodating and polite. Very professional and I truly appreciated it. The course was in immaculate condition from start to finish. Hats off to the Superintendent and his workers. Vividly astonishing was how I will leave my review. A definite must play!

Seven birdie looks with two completed on holes 16 & 17. Nice way to finish.

Thanks everyone at Bear’s Best Las Vegas

As usual it was the “best “ from start to finish. The greens were slower than normal but rolled very true. I always play this course when I visit Vegas.

Great Course, Great People

Was in Vegas for my youngest sons birthday. We played Paiute Wolf the day before. Bear's Best was just as nice if not better. The views were spectacular. The course was tough lots of sand and you had to hit good shots to score. We were paired up with a great couple that we had a great time with. The only negative was when we got there we bought a 6 pack 6 for $25 mix and match. The person inside said we could get the same deal on the course for the cart person. We ended up getting 4 more beers but they charged us $28.00. When I told them we got 6 for 25 they said that was wrong. i think they need to get their stories straight

Great golf course

Golf course is nice. A little overpriced if you ask me but then any course with the bears name on it is going to be over priced. Greens were a little beat up from all the play. Too many old ball marks.
