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.

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

Little disappointed
I have played this course several times. I know we have had some rain recently however several bunkers needed sand and repair.

Has gone continually downhill
I’ve played Bear’s best 8-10 times over the past five years and played twice last week with a friend. I won’t be going back. The greens are bumpy and chewed up. The collar on many greens is dead. You can see the tarp underneath on many of the bunkers, it’s a shadow of what it once was. For $130,/golfer you would think they could buy a few loads of sand.
If you take Jack Nicklaus’ name off of this track and it would be the $50/round that it actually is.

Course Condition
The course is always fun to play. The staff is excellent. However, the course is in need of some badly needed maintenance. Some of the tees need replacement sodding due to bareness. And most of the greenside and fairway bunkers are nearly unplayable. Most bunkers have little to no sand in them. This course use to be pristine. It would be nice to see it returned to that condition.

Nice Course!
Really nice course! Nice carts (very comfortable seats, GPS, etc). Fairways in great shape! Greens recently aerated, so didn't roll perfect, but still good. Pace of play was great. Some really fun water holes. Overall, a really nice course!

Sadly, a terrible course
Such a fun layout. Very nice club house and practice area. Yet I hate this course. The greens are decent, but for the price range they are disappointing. The fairways are nice, but they hold water worse than most other courses in the area.
