Bear's Best Atlanta

Fast firm greens for Georgia this time of year. Bear's best bent grass greens are in fantastic shape. Roll fast and true must play

I played this course on my birthday due to he steep price! The course was in excellent shape and the staff was very friendly. However after you pay the steep greens fee, the price of range balls is insane as well as the food and drinks. $5 for a beer and $3 for a bottle of water is crazy. I love the course but I probably won't be back until my next birthday!

Played the course 7/8 in 104 deg heat index, probably should have had my head examined. Nevertheless, a majority of the water drinking containers were empty. Never once saw a cart "lady", guess she said "It's to hot out there to ride around in a cart". Greens were in great condition and fairways where ok. Would like to see them put some TLC into the course for $50 round in the heat of the day.

I have never played at a place this nice !!! Everyone there from the pro to the ranger to the cart girl was so nice and helpful!!! The course is beautiful !!! The houses you see are breathtaking!!! If you ever have the chance to play here it's a must!!!!!!

Very impressive facility starting with the pro shop and driving range. Everything ran like clockwork and we started right on time. Pace of play was excellent. Fairways and greens were in superb condition. An additional benefit is that each hole is based on a famous hole that Mr. Nicklaus designed from courses around the world. Pretty challenging for our group but extremely fun and probably suited to almost any level of player.

Great course enjoyed the day

What a treat, to play these famous golf holes from all over the world. A really beautiful course. Very memorable playing there.

One of the top 3 courses in Atlanta that's not private!

It's a must play. This is coming from a mid 75s golfer. You have to ha e ever shot in the bag to score well here.

Go play it!!!

Bears Best is a collection of 18 holes from Jack Nicklaus designed courses. The first time my dad and I played it in January was almost unplayable due to the rain. We got a rain checked and were very pleased to use it. The condition of the course is the best I seen. I would love to return.

This course is truly spectacular. My only negative was that the pace of play was really bad. There was a group about 2 or 3 groups ahead of us that we were told were really slow and I don't think the Marshall did anything about it. He told us it would open up eventually but it never did. Took 4.5 hours to play 18 as a 3some.

Even though the greens were pretty freshly punched they were still in good condition.

Play this course! It's so great!

I played this course shortly before this particular day and absolutely loved it. The conditions of course, the layout, the difficulty, and the friendliness of staff. What amazes me is the condition of fairways and also the conditions of the greens. They were freshly aerated today, but certainly did not ruin the round. I have recommended this course to many friends of mine and plan to play here in the near future. Awesome course. Only I would be careful with approach shots and par 3's as it requires a precise hit and stick, otherwise you may find yourself in the water or woods all day.

Other than green aeration, the course as always spectacular, challenging, but spectacular

Bear's Best is a nice course with a great group of Par 3's. Our group enjoyed the Blue/White Combo tee option. The course was in good shape a few bunkers needed some maintenance, fairways were good, and greens rolled smooth and true. Pace of play was good, marshals managed pace in a professional manner. Course provided a voucher for $1 drinks after the round and the members were friendly in the 19th hole.

GOT A HOLE IN ONE ON #16. PRO SHOP PERSON DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID FOR IT. LEFT NAME AND NUMBER. CALLED BACK 4 DAYS LATER. ASST PRO SAID: BASICALLY NOTHING. I PLAY THIS COURSE EVERY TIME I VISIT MY SON. WOULD LIKE TO SHOW HIM OR GRANDKIDS THIS DIFFICULT FEAT FOR A AMATEUR GOLFER. LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. SPENT A LOT OF MONEY THERE!

Everything about this course and place overall is one of the best around. From the club house and staff; to the putting, chipping, and driving range; and the magnificently kept course is why i try to play here more times than other courses. The only hurtful thing about looking for a tee-time and play here, is the price that wants your whole wallet and put you on a budget for the next few weeks.

the course layout was very good. from the blue tees there were some driveable par 4's. the fairways were plush with winter rye grass. the greens were nice and fast and smooth considering they had done a light aeriation a week earlier. i would say that the toughest part of the course would be the par 3's. small targets and surrounded by trouble (sand, water, etc...). was a pleasure to play. great practice facilities.

Some nice holes, good layout. Could do with more sand in the bunkers at some holes but they may be due to the recent heavy rain. Would definitely play here again. Noticed that the tee sign at the 17th read Gleneagles, Pertshire which gave us Scots a chuckle. Living close to Gleneagles as we do I'm not sure I would class Perthshire as "pert"!

The round was a good one. A bit wet due to recent rains and cold weather, however love the over-seeded fairways and nice green appearance. Range could use some work, but the course is playing well!

I started out a little wary of the premise behind Bear's Best. The idea of a "greatest hits" course seemed kind of gimmicky. I was worried that there wouldn't be much of a consistent theme throughout.

The reality was quite different. While some details of the courses that these holes were pulled from were added (black, volcanic sand filling the bunkers on a hole inspired by a design in Montana, for example), the course as a whole was unmistakably northern Georgia. There are a lot of elevation changes and some tight holes off the tee. But the greens held really well and rolled true.

The practice facility is wonderful. I'd definitely return for another round, hopefully in better weather.

I never miss a chance to play Bear's Best Atlanta! Great condition, scenic, fun to play! You need to bring a good iron game here, Jack gives you plenty of room to hit the driver but be spot on with the irons. Good short game is a must as well! Great staff, very friendly, good bar and food!
