Upscale Golf Course

Bears Best is a great golf experience

This was one of the most interesting and fun courses I have ever played. Very nice conditions, each hole a bit different depending on the original hole and the location it was borrowed from. All challenging but fair and fun and be sure to play it forward to max out the experience since unless you are a scratch golfer, the tips would be brutal. One hole is from Castle Pines, CO and the type of trees, grass and slope changed suddenly after multiple holes that were more 'desert style" ...very cool place.

Great course lay out enjoyable to play as always

The course design is as good as always. What surprised me was the fairway, tee decks and the greens are so lush and soft. Course is in immaculate shape. Being a Canadian coming to Vegas, this was very enjoyable.

However, like many other courses, there were no Marshal around the course, luckily, we didn't need one.

The weather was perfect for me between 17 to 19 Celsius. The only unfortunate part was it became windy shortly after the 5th hole or so, Otherwise, all was perfect. I teed off at 12.48 with another 3 guys and finished early enough before the sun set.

We had a great time. We might be a touch slow according to the GPS screen by 5-6 minutes, but the other group behind us was only behind our back for a few holes.

All in all it was always fun to play here whenever I came.

Only comment is that the course had better service and amenities back when it had caddies years ago.

To Golfnow, my only complaint is that the other single who rode with me paid $20 less than I did.

Close to Perfect

With the exception of one sand trap on #9 which was being renovated, conditions were excellent. Friendly staff, good food in the clubhouse and a reasonable pace of play pretty much left our group with a great golf experience.

Windy day!

Teed off at noon on an extremely windy but sunny day. The course was in great condition, with the greens in perfect shape. Greens were receptive of approach shots and putted true. Finished in 4hrs, and that is with lengthy waits on holes 4-6. Myself and two playing partners found the course forgiving, even with the strong winds.

Bad service

We had a tee time for 18 holes at 1:50 and they held us back for over 30 minutes. The hold up made it impossible to play all the holes with visibility. On top of that they cut off the beer cart on our first hole. When we got back to the club house at 5:30 everyone had already left and the clubhouse was closed and locked. Terrible service for a very expensive gold outing.

I was looking forward to playing this course. Late teeing off by 45 minutes. Sand traps were the worst I have ever played. Holes were very interesting and challenging.

When I arrived a staff member met me in the parking lot a carried my bag to a cart. I was directed to the pro shop and the staff was very friendly. The practice area was great. The course was in fantastic shape for January.

Jack Nucklaus design makes it what it is

Like Pete Dye Jack Nicklaus puts bunkers, native areas and trouble in the line of sight of the golfer to create doubt! Every hole is different and is borrowed from around 250 other courses designed by him . the greens are fast as well. The course sits on a top shelf looking down towaeds the Vegas strip and surrounded by mountains. Overall a very challenging and beautiful experience
