BEARS BEST IS Awesome!
I had big fun! I’m playing it again on Monday! Course is in superior condition!
GPS
course was good, would be better if gps actually worked. Our cart had to be reset 3 times. But it worked well enough to tell me if I was too close to something. And freeze up.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Bear's Best Atlanta.

2nd Shot Course
Enjoyed our round at Bear's Best! Loved the layout extremely forgiving off the tee but be very mindful of your 2nd shot, the Bear loves to play mind games with you! Greens were is excellent shape for this time in the year. The entire staff was very welcoming and eager to share their excitement for the course! One drawback to the day, "cart path only" day due to the recent rains slowed the pace down a bit. Don't let the summer slip away without getting a turn on this one!
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bear's Best Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Great Layout and Truest Rolling Greens
I was hesitant to play this course because some of the other Nicklaus courses I’ve played haven’t been my favorite, but boy was I wrong. This place is a gem. $99 is a fair rate for the quality of the course itself. The greens were immaculate- with the exception of the first par 3, but that’s to be expected during such a wet couple of months on a hole under 160 from the tips.
I must say, weighing the value of other courses in the Suwanee, John’s Creek area, I think that this is the best value for the money. If You think that $99 is on the pricier side for a round, I would urge you to consider making an exception. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks guys. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.

No reason for it to be cart path only. Rained day before but not washed out. (8-22)
Thank you for your review! We're sorry that you were disappointed that carts were required to stay on the cart path. This is never a decision taken lightly, but we take direction from our course superintendent on what is best for the golf course. There were numerous heavy storms in the past week, including on Thursday night and Friday morning. We were pleased to see that you rated the course conditions as ‘Excellent’. Please come back and see us again soon.
Always great experience!
Always incredible golf experience! Will continue playing at this first class golf course!
Wonderful! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.

Great course
I think this course is the best maintained daily fee course in the area. I wish they maintained the bunkers a little better, but most courses seem to have stopped bunker maintenance. The course is a bit pricey. For $80+, it would be nice if they included range balls.

Nice Course, and Awesome Staff!
Everything is maintained really well. Greens are looking good. Marty, in the pro shop, always makes us feel welcome!
Highly recommend this replica hole course!

Worth the drive!
I am on staycation and wanted to play some higher rated courses on golf Now regardless of the distance from my home. After expanding my search parameters this course kept popping up. I read the recent reviews and had to play it. It exceeded expectations. An hour drive but well worth it. Nice layout and grooming was top notch. Some of the nicest, most interesting par 3s (on one course) I've ever played. I got it on a hot deal so it was an excellent value. Me and my son were supposed to meet 2 others on the 1st tee but they were gone so we played as a twosome.the entire round in well less then 4 hours. Very nice track.
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.
Course I’m very good condition! Carts are very nice with Bluetooth speakers.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.
Good golf
Had a good day, Course in good condition and staff was friendly. Would have finished in less than 4 hours but the group in front was slow.
Terrific! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bear's Best Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Worth the drive!
I live an hour away and wanted to play a different course. One that wasn't near where I usually play. I got a hot deal on golf now so it was a great value. The course was in great condition from tee to green. Plenty of bunkers and we found them with ease. Wide, well manicured fairways. Not many elevation changes but still an interesting enough track for all level players.
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.
Nice layout, maintenance and staff issues
2nd time playing here. Came back the week after playing for the first time and discovered they just sanded the greens, although they didn't warn us when we made the reservation. Maintenance crews were all over the course, one person watering the green when we were putting and wouldn't stop. Another crew member was blowing leaves near the t box when we were teeing off. Complained to pro shop they said the guys have to do their job. Won't play here again. In addition, pace of play was extremely slow!!!! On the positive side, the lunch was decent and wait staff super helpful and friendly.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your time with us. We strive to provide a great experience for all our golfers. Please contact Ian Grimwade, General Manager, at 678.714.2582, x7 or ian.grimwade@clubcorp.com to clarify more about your experience. Thank you and we look forward to speaking with you!

Great! Thank you for visiting us at Bear's Best Atlanta. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Good good in good shape
This is a fun track And in in good shape right now. They have their bent greens looking good and running well - better than some others I’ve seen recently. I find the holes up from the flood plain more enjoyable than those along the river. The long par 4 18th is a difficult but great finishing hole. Rates at the course are often pricey, but it’s a good value at $50. I’ve seen slow pace of play here before, but today there were no issues.
