Bear's Best Atlanta

I called and spoke to the pro shop stating we were playing to celebrate a grooms mans wedding . I also stated if I could play for the price that Golf Now offered at $85 per person . The gentleman on the phone asked if I wanted the time and price that Golf Now offered and that he would gladly offer it . When we got to the course , we ended up paying $135 per person and they did not offer the GN rate ! . I will not go back there again , and we have another wedding 2026 but it looks like twelve of us will be heading to Cinnamons this time .

Greens are still recovering from aeration and people don’t seem to care about fixing ball marks. Pace of place is slow on the weekends so expect to be at least 30 mins behind. We teed off at 3 and only played 13 holes by 7 o’clock. Thats over 18 minutes per hole.

I had some buddies come in and I knew they would enjoy Bears Best. It was a 5 hour round but not completely surprised. All parts of the course were in good shape. The rough was pretty punishing (ball would settle below grass and it was nearly impossible to find).

Great course. Was a 4:40 hour round, but it was a Saturday. Bunkers in good shape and fairways immaculate.

Recently played Bear’s Best and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations—especially considering the premium price point.

Greens: Despite being freshly aerated, we were still charged full price. The condition was poor, making putting frustrating and inconsistent.

Tee Boxes: Many were in rough shape, uneven and patchy, which detracted from the overall playing experience.

Second Cut: Surprisingly tall—so much so that we lost balls in it multiple times. It felt more like rough than a manageable second cut.

Staff: Fairly mundane and not particularly helpful. At times, they seemed more in the way than supportive, which was disappointing for a course of this reputation.

Pace of Play: Generally okay, but we hit several backups. What was frustrating was being asked to speed up while waiting on three groups ahead of us.

Overall, Bear’s Best didn’t deliver the quality or service expected for the price. Hopefully, they address these issues soon, because the layout has potential—but the current conditions and experience don’t justify the cost.

Course was awesome! Absolutely fulfilled its intention with the tribute course. Conditions were great. Course was challenging but not so challenging that it became frustrating. I will absolutely visit this course again when in the greater Atlanta area.

I liked it I came here a few times before. good putting green conditions and good course conditions. I want to come here often as long as it's not too expensive. Nice Bear’s Best.

With a 4:20 tee time you would think the course would have some food to offer for dinner ? but no, only food available were bag of chips or over priced flavorde beef jerky. supposedly, the kitchen closes at 4;00 pm.

We start and on hole one, cart lady drives up and says this is my last round of u want anything …. really hot and no water anywhere on the course but clubhouse.

lastly, we started getting spammed alarm to finish by 8:15 pm as the course is closing, even tho, it is still light out ? just wondering what or who is managing this place?

This was my second time playing this course and I really enjoyed it!! Challenging but fair! Par 3s are very fun

WOW! The greens were super fun to putt on. The greens keepers have done a fantastic job.This course costs more to play because it has better course conditions and a better layout than it's competitors and it is worth it.

I called ahead to make sure that the course was in good condition and it was. I definitely feel like my money was well spent.

The course was well maintained. Staff was friendly. It made for a great round of golf.

This was our first time playing here. There was a ton of ball marks on the greens that were not repaired by golfer or the staff. We spent extra time not only fixing ours but others. Course was a little over played. Some of the tee boxes were in rough shape. Where we usually play is $105 on the weekend and it’s always in immaculate shape. Price was a little high for conditions. We also never saw a beverage cart the entire round. $140 was not worth it. Otherwise we liked the layout. Could have been better.
