Course laying out
Every hole is so unique and you need to think about next shot.i liked black sand,I never seen befor beautiful course and I really enjoyed.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our holes. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Fun!
Perfect condition. Worth the drive to Summerlin for. Great course
Excellent! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be worth the drive. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Pace of play
This course needs a marshal. Played as a single got through the front nine pretty easy (teed off at 310 pm) however the back was entirely different ran into a three some at 10 couldn’t get though them as there were two other three some’s ahead of them looking for balls for 10 to fifteen minutes, I would have expected better from a Nicklaus course. Won’t book this again when I come back to Vegas. Also no bag drop and saw the cart girl on the 1st green, she said I’d probably see her in the back nine NOT again great layout but couldn’t get a drink on the rest of my 17 holes and the pace of play I’d rather loose the hundred in the casino
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout, but we apologize that the pace of play was slow. We appreciate your feedback and we will make sure to use your review to help us improve moving forward. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future!
Bears Best
Played multiple courses in the area and this is by far the best course. Amazing views to go along with a beautiful golf course made for an enjoyable experience.
Terrific! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and our views. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next experience at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Twilight special
Played on a twilight special and was able to 18 in. Staff started me in 10 so only had a 4-some in front of me on 3 holes. 1 thru 9 were wide open after the turn. Kudos to the staff for looking at the location of golfers on the course and working a single in the best place for pace of play. Stunningly beautiful scenes, great conditions and exceptional staff. Plus it is Jack’s favorite holes that he has designed on courses over his career. Perfect day of golf.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we can't wait to have you back again soon for another perfect day of golf!
Outstanding! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Top Golf, Vegas
Play Bear’s Best, Las Vegas.
Panoramic views of the entire Las Vegas valley.
Stunning multi- million dollar mansions surround the course. Especially the back nine.
Well bunkered, with elevation changes.
Every hole presents its own unique challenges.
Enjoy the experience.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
The course was in very good condition, although the greens had recently been aerated and top dressed. It was a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze. Our foursome had a very enjoyable round. I would definitely play here again. The staff was friendly. We saw a coyote near the #8 green. Very nice homes surrounding the course.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We're glad that you and your group enjoyed your round with us and we can't wait to have you back again soon at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Aeration
Beautiful coarse and understand that aeration is necessary but I would have expected a discount from price since not told that maintenance was on-going.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course, but we apologize that you weren't notified of our aerification. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Nice views
Greens were just aerated so they were a little rough. The course had some great views and was otherwise in good shape but definitely not worth paying full price for.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and our views. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
Best overall course in Vegas area
This is my 3rd round here this week.
Ive played most of the 4* plus courses,
For the golf course itself, this is where u will want to play and play again.
Its a very challenging course, but its also fair.
Thats my favourite type of course.
Add in the fact you get to play 4 holes from 4 different courses around the country, and it becomes all that more special.
Plan a day here, get yourself a good deal on a re-play round at a very nice discount and play again .
Absolutely love this course layout.
Even with the greens punched less than a week ago, the greens are in great shape and so is the course.
Do yourself a favour, try bears best and wolf creek in mesquite.
U wont find 2 better tracks that challenge you but also are fun to play with amazing views on every tee box.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round. We look forward to seeing you again soon for another 5 star experience here at Bear's Best Las Vegas.
Great Course
We had an Awesome time at Bears Best. The staff is very friendly. Greg the starter was more than accommodating. He gave us all the facts and things to lookout for on the course. As for the course, they did just punch the greens two days before, which they let us know. The were still fast and playable. Keep in mind this is Jack Nicholas mix of 18 holes. Our favorite holes were from Montana with the black bunker sand. Very authentic to the real course in Montana. Overall this is a MUST BOOK while in Vegas. It’s a great course and a wonderful staff.
jraynor, thank you for your kinds words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5 star experience.
Not what it was hyped to be
It was an average at best course. Luckily I played on a hot deal for $80. That was still kind of high for the course. My playing partner had played it about ten years ago and said it t was night and day. Maybe if it hadnt been so hyped I wouldnt have the impression I do, but had I paid full price I would be livid. Many of the bunkers had been filled in with grass. The greens have an overseed and are slow, with several having patches of different turfs. The sands were different on some holes and none were all that great with rocks and such. They also had a black sand, dust, gravel. We joked ut was recycled asbestos. If youre vis iui tibg there are dozens if courses that are far better for either value or pl laying conditions.
Good Value.
Great facility and course. A little rough around the edges. Could be in better playing condition. First time I played it a few years ago it was in perfect condition. Looks like they are working on it.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed your round with us and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round with us!
Very dissapointed
Was excite to play a course affiliated with the "Bear". Always in great shape with wonderful layouts. The condition of this course was poor. Greens were very bumpy rolling at about a 7. Fairways, Rough, & Tee-boxes were fair to poor. Overpriced for what was for my visit. Staff was great, but will never return!
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that our staff left a great impression on you but we apologize that our course conditions didn't meet your expectations. We have had an uncharacteristic winter, with everything from rain outs, to late frosts, severe winds and snow days. None of which is normal for the late winter/early spring. We would love the chance to speak with you more about your time with us. Please reach out to us at bearsbestlv1@gmail.com at your earliest convenience. Thanks again and we look forward to speaking with you!
Great Course
Course is a great layout and in good condition with lots of different tee options to make it as long as you want it to be. Greens were in good shape and rolled smooth but weren’t the fastest, which is good for the average player. Fairways were fairly wide and the course played fair. Good for the average player but could still be challenging for the low handicap players. The carts were new and had built in speakers and USB chargers for your phone. Staff was friendly all around. Practice facilities were good overall but at the driving range you are hitting off of mats. It was a very windy day so the cart girl stayed inside. She did make a good John Daly and drinks were reasonably priced. She was very friendly. We teed off at 3 pm so the kitchen was closed when we got to the turn and after the round which was a bit disappointing.
Overall, I really enjoyed the round and would definitely recommend playing this course. I’ll be back.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're also glad that our staff left a great impression on you and that you enjoyed our practice facilities. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Great course
Course was a typical desert course. Great layout and great greens.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout and that our greens met your expectations. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Not for Beginners
Course was in very good shape.
$163 golfnow rate was an OK value.
Very nice range and amenities.
The guy in the shop was friendly, but no one else was.
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be a good value. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Awesome! Come back soon!
