Greens were disappointing as I thought they would be further along in replenishing. Challenging course as always and a blast to play for a steal of a value today.

Amazing EXperience

even the weather was cold that day but we still felt warm at the course during the play. The hole number three is favorite hole of the course. the course is in good shape. The staffs are very friendly. The male amenities are fantastic, but my mom said that there is no shower place in female locker room. I think that is the only thing you can complain about the club, and there is nothing for you to complain about the course and the experience of golfing!

A great course. Fair setup

It is a great course to play on: great design, challenging but fair. Greens roll well and we’ll maintained. Also the view of the beautiful homes is a treat!

It had been raining hard the week before and the greens became a little soft, unfortunately, ball marks that don’t get fixed became noticeable.

Not the fault of the course but from players who don’t care about players who play after them!

I highly recommend this course

Great course, desk guy remains unfriendly

I’ve been to this course multiple times and never feel welcome. Not sure why, but the guys in the clubhouse are just not hospitable.

Starter, marshals and cart staff all very nice-but walk in the door and you are not welcome.

No Management !!!

I’m playing right now and will never cone back!!! We have been waiting for at least 5 to 10 minutes between each shots.. shame on whoever runs such a fantastic course this poor way. So far I have not seen a single ranger at all. There are several other courses around with decent conditions under good course management.

Thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry that you felt the pace was slow. We do monitor pace of play through a combination of on-course staff and on-line GPS monitoring from the club-house and are not aware of any pace issues on Wednesday 4th or Thursday 5th, with all groups finishing between 3hrs and 4.5 hours throughout both days. Can you please contact our General Manager, Ian Grimwade, at 678.714.2582, x7 or ian.grimwade@clubcorp.com so that we can address your concerns? Thank you again for taking the time to provide this feedback – here at Bear’s Best, we do care about pace of play.

Great Course with Excellent Conditions

I have played Bear's Best several time prior and each time I really like the course layout and the conditions. Today, the greens were in the best condition I have ever seen them. Usually, because they are bent grass greens, there are TONS of non-repaired ball marks which makes the greens look like a scatter grenade was dropped on them. However today, the greens were in excellent condition. Well Done Bear's Best.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area due to the different Jack Nicklaus designed holes.

The pace of play today was very good. We had to wait on several holes to tee off, but that is expected on a fall day when the weather is perfect and lots of golfers want to get out and play.

Course was in excellent shape. My only complaint is with the bunkers. Most of the bunkers have very little sand. Several bunkers I hit out of were like hitting of hard pan dirt with just a slight covering of sand in the bottom. However, based on the overall conditions today, I recommend this course to any of my friends.
