Bears best las Vegas review

This course is desgned by Jack Nicklaus and is on the edge of Las Vegas by the Red rock park..the back 9 is breathtaking with thenstark contrast of the greens and failrways against the brown desert landscape....the Vegas strip also is seen far away on many holes. Great course...

Nice experience.

Challenging but fair. Only complaint is the bunkers are baked solid. Not enough sand to get under the ball. Liked Jack's narration of each hole.

Beautiful course

Our first visit to Bear's Best was well worth it. Staff was friendly and accommodation. Although it was a summer day, temperature barely reached 100. Unlimited water was provided. Course was perfect except for the fact the greens were recently aerated. Another drawback was that there was no on-course marshall and the foursome ahead would not let our twosome pass. So round took 4 hours which wasn't too bad. Overall a very positive experience.

Our foursome had a great time today. 107 degrees but really didn’t feel that hot thanks to a light breeze. Tough layouts, greens rolled true.
