Course condition was disappointing
Replica holes are fun, course condition is disappointing. Bunkers on several holes are not playable or barely so, some green surrounds have no grass in spots, greens have a lot of unrepaired ball marks. Played at 4:03 and paid $67, would have been mad if I had played earlier in the day and had paid >$100. Rumors that course is going private may be true and impacting decisions on course maintenance.
Maintenance sucks
On one hole the maintenance crew flew past us while teeing off, and then went and fixed the green side bunker and didn’t move blocking the green, no one hit the green on approach cause we were too nervous to hit them, then on the 11th they watered the green while we were approaching. Didn’t yield to us at all. We had to wait 10 minutes in the fairway while he just watered with his hose all over the green. For $100 a round that’s pretty horrible. Other then that it’s a good course. Probably not going back. That’s pretty rude and for that kindve money,…no thank you

Expensive but love the course.
I have always loved playing Bear's Best Atlanta and look forward to teeing it up there when I can find a good deal online. Can be very Expensive. Course is always in good shape and staff is helpful and friendly. One of my favorite places to play.

Slow Play
The great course, perfect conditions and friendliness of the staff were quick erased by a 4:55 round. Need more rangers to keep things moving.
Absolutely not worth the high price tag to play here.

Course Condition
For the most part the golf course was in pretty good shape. The most obvious area that was an exception were the fairway and greenside bunkers. Nearly all of them were in very poor shape and many unplayable.

Bear’s Best Disappointed
Bear’s Best Atlanta, extremely poor course conditions. If pricing was relative to course conditions they should be charging $40 tops. $130 was just way to much for a course that is poorly maintained. Greens/Bunkers overall Poor condition. Some were worse than poor.. I was not expecting perfect conditions, just better. Golf courses in the surrounding area charge less and are maintained like they care about the experience not just the “name”! Really disappointed.
Bear’s Best Las Vegas Drastically Different different experience! Course in great shape and properly maintained relative to the price!

Staff
Staff was great. Course seems to have gone downhill since Club Corp took over. I sure hope they get back to this being a great course that people flock to like they used to be. Need severe groundskeeper help.

Could be better
Have played this course many many times and unfortunately it looks horrible anymore and hate to see that as the staff is great but course conditions just are nowhere how it used to be. Would be worth getting a solid maintenance person or manager and overhaul as this was once the course to play. Not so much anymore.

So helpful
Well, somehow I made different tee times cryo myself and my husband.
They were so very helpful. So friendly. They even got us out earlier. Checked in on us during the round and after!
This is course is tough but fun to play.
2 different groups in front offered us to play through. That's never happened before. Wow. What a day.

Poor sand traps and fringes
Good layout but sand traps were in poor condition. Hit gravel in one of the traps and left marks on my sand wedge. Need more sand and daily raking. Some of the fringes on the greens were dead. Reminded me of a muni course in some areas. Cart girl had no sandwiches at lunch time. The turn is not at clubhouse so had to play without lunch. Staff was great.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Bear's Best Atlanta, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Poor condition
Played here many times and this is the poorest condition that I've seen so far. Seems to have workers working on fairways for many of the holes within 18 holes. Greens are not rolling good due to bumpiness and dead spots.
Consider spending your money elsewhere until thing improves.

Beautiful course! Poor conditions for the price. Worth trying if you’re in the area.
Awesome collection of holes. Loved the Par 3s and design in general. In my opinion it was not worth the price I paid considering it was cart path only and the greens had just been aerated a few weeks prior. Was definitely expecting a bit more as far as course conditions. I know there have been a lot of storms in the area recently so
