Great I just love #4 par 3 exact replica of par 3 Memorial
Prices are way to high
Lower prices and get more bookings
If $50 during the week I would play there every two weeks
Amazing Condition
I've played Bear's Best for the last 5 years. The course is in absolute beautiful condidtion. The greens specifically were fantastic and it is noticible the money that has been invested into other areas such as the golf carts, gps, sand traps, and the practice facilities. Even the tee boxes were awesome (Many other local clubs struggling here).
Side note, the staff was friendly, we played in under 4 hours and the range balls that are included were generous - its a challenge to hit them all. Definitely recommend for a round with the boys or a great place to host a client or event.
Great course!
Staff were attentive and brought sandwich (which was fantastic) to me on the course, fairways and greens in great shape it was sad to see ball marks not fixed by players. Well worth it during the week!
Great course slow play
Course was excellent. Everything was in great shape even with a ton of rain we were able to take carts onto the fairways.
Our GPS kept telling us we were way behind on pace of play, but no marshalls ever came out to speed anyone up. The group in front of us was 3 holes behind be the 14th hole.
Great
Great course
Disappointed today
BB is one of my favorite tracks, but today's course conditions were subpar. BB needs to step it up. The value for the money is not there. The greens were average at best. I thought Covid was over. Players need to rake a bunker. I would love to catch someone in front of me not raking a bunker. Some areas need to be resodded. I would never play earlier for $143.00. No way! I should have taken some pictures of bare areas in front of greens and around greens.
Great Course
I play here atleast two times a month. Course is always in great condition. Greens were punched and sanded a few weeks ago and the greens are looking great. Staff is great and the food and drinks are great as well. One of the only grass ranges around town which is awesome. Priced on the high side for a reason.
Nice Layout-Disappointed in condition
I like the course. I am disappointed in the course condition. In all fairness the course was wet but I expected better greens and the course to be in better shape. I have played a lot of the Golden Bears courses, and this was in the worst shape of any I have played.
I will try it again in a month or two to see if the condition has improved.
Needs better maintenance
Almost every tee box needs to be redone. All the greens were slow and bumpy. Great course layout but it feels neglected. Way over priced for the course conditions.
My son and I play here at least once per season. Great experience overall. Course was in great condition and especially like the black sand traps on a couple of the holes.
Cool holes
I expected better conditions for the price. Course gets a lot of play. But amazing hole designs make it worth it
Used to be a gem
Staff was rude. I think the headpro is power tripping. It seems like he has an attitude. Came here because couldn't find a tee time else where but I know now why they have open tee times.
Disappointing
For the cost of green fees, the course should warn you when you won’t get conditions you expect. The greens were aerated and sanded. Putting was a joke.
The staff and pro acted like you were bothering them and obviously could care less if you played the course or not.
Love the layout but after this experience, they won’t be getting my money anytime soon.
Very Slow pace of play
Tee times were 30 minutes late going off and we were given no notice of this even when we checked in. Pace of play was absolutely slow. Apparently there was a Friday morning tournament that must have slowed things down. Seemed like there were a bunch of first time hackers out there taking their good old time and hitting it 140 yards off the tee. We were a 4some that would play at a normal pace and we had to wait for at least a couple minutes after every single shot. Not even sure how some of those people could possibly play that slow. We even ended up skipping a hole but that didn't speed things up much. I didn't see any Rangers trying to speed things up. Course was aerated 3 days prior and I must have missed the notification on golfnow but not the courses fault. I thought it would be less than $114 but that wasn't the case. Course layout is excellent. Conditions were okay. There were definitely bare areas that need new sod but all in all course was in fair condition. Not sure on condition of greens due to aeration.
Great course
Really enjoyed my round of golf here. Played during twilight rate on a Friday, not many people on the course (was a little bit of rain), but was able to enjoy the round without having to wait or have people behind me which was great. People who were on the course were nice and staff was friendly. Course itself was in pretty good shape, only the tee boxes were a little worn. Would definitely play again during similar hours if it again meant not too many people on the course.
