Course in great shape besides the bunkers
Overall the course was a in great shape. The only issue being the bunkers which were mostly hard pan.
Jamie, 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.
One of my favorite courses
Love playing Bear's Best. Played in a scramble. I would play this course more often but it can get very costly. I am always looking for a Hot Deal or the Twlight rate.
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.
I absolutely love this golf course. The only downside is that it seems like every time I go it always rains! However, I will continue to play here. The facilities are great, the layout is great. The only advice I would give is just go by the gps, because the scorecard yardage differs from the yardage book markers because I think they have added some tees throughout the years. From the Gold tees it can stretch out a good bit, maybe pushing 7100.
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.

Disappointing top to bottom
Round was booked a week prior, pro shop had no listing of my tee time. Putting green closed. Bunkers and tee boxes look like they’ve been left to erode for the last month. Starter in pro shop allowed two of our players to break off before the first tee. 4 old gentlemen played infront, they were not slowing P of P actually, group infront of them was. Problem was that Marty one of the pros decided to make it a five some from 8 to 15. Disappointed in how this took place. Would not spend $75-$100 for a tee time here. I actually played pretty well today, so that’s not where the frustration comes from. First time I played it was immaculate; now I think the Golden Bear would be greatly disappointed.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your round with us. We would love the chance to speak with your more about your experience. Please reach out to our General Manager, Ian Grimwade, at ian.grimwade@clubcorp.com at your earliest convenience. Thank you again and we look forward to speaking with you!
Awesome Course
Followed social distancing guide lines club house, carts etc... I was paired up with 3 other players i did not know but we had a great time. They made me feel very comfortable great guys..The course was in great shape as usual temperature was also good not too hot or windy. Played just under 41/2 hours shot in the mid 80's. At the end of the round were instructed to take the carts out to our cars and unload everything the cart guys came and took the carts back to the cart shed for us awesome. Will play again real soon
Fantastic! 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!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Fun course
Very enjoyable round of golf, fun layout, challenging shot making. very good conditions. The fairways still need to green up a bit, and the greens were recovering from aeration. The sand bunkers were very hard due to recent rains and needed to be tilled and/or topped off. Was very pleased with the customer service and the attention paid to guest satisfaction.
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.
Amazing experience
This course is the best value in Atlanta, from the general manager on down everyone displays amazing customer service and really cares about your experience.
This course is still in as good shape as it was when it was double the price with caddies. They’ve done an amazing job of transforming from a snobby expensive club to an overall a great golf experience and value.
Wonderful! 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.
Great condition
Found my ATF golf course! With Covid-19, I played as a single on the course the 3 times I played. Although the greens were aerated they played well. The fairways were in great shape. I’ve played this course years before but couldn’t see paying the prices then, until I saw them affordable on GolfNow. But since May 1st they are back up! So, I will not be playing there until they come back down. The ground staff were professional, courteous and helpful.and appreciate the sacrifices they made to attend to the cart returns, sanitizing all the carts and risking their exposure.
Outstanding! Thank you for your kind words. We're glad that you enjoyed our conditions and that our staff left a great impression on you. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Atlanta.
This time it was not so great
Electronic score card and GPS on cart was not working..
On 18th hole, half way in the fairway, two ladies arguing so loud, I could not concentrate on 2nd round. Otherwise it was good!
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bear's Best Atlanta, despite the issues you mentioned above. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Great course, wonderful staff
We played during the CV-19 shutdown. The course was nice and very playable. The staff was over the top great, very helpful and respectful of the our safety and needs. Will go back again.

Amazing place!
Very challenging for course but a lot of fun! Greens were just aerated so they were a little bumpy but still fast. Would highly recommend this course.

Great Layout
Great layout with different types of holes. Some tight with precision needed and some more open. Had to use a lot of different clubs in the bag as opposed to some courses being only a few. Staff extremely friendly, will play course again hopefully.
