Don't waste your money
Not a bad overall course. A fairly decent semi-private condition place. Unless your a Nickalaus fan, don't waste your money. Nothing really bad about the place, just not worth the price. Pace of play is 5 1/2 hours on average because they stay so booked up...most likely because of the name brand.
Great course, but a little bit slow paced
The course layout is the best around, and the conditions are great. However, it wouldn't hurt on pairing people up a little better to fix the pace. I will definitely go back.
Poor pace of play
Took 5 hours to play for three players. Had to wait 5-10 minutes every shot. Ridiculous for the price u r paying. Ranger didn't do anything for the slow play in front group. DO NOT RECOMMEMD~~. MOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!
Course Review
Course was beautiful. Wonderful layout. green were firm though. The pace of play was awful! No marshalls were out on the course trying to speed up play. We were a two-some and the group in front of us never let us play through. We had to wait 5-10min every shot. No fun!
Course is great though.
Embarrassed
I took a client for a Friday round. The whole way out I hyped the course as one of the best you can play in Greater ATL.
1) The shape of the course was a surprise. Knowing full well that we are coming out of winter, I realize parts would be dormy. But the fairways and greenside were muni style. No overseed?
2) The pace was horrendous, and they did nothing to compensate. Only saying via a ranger, 'sorry guys, but it is only going to get worse'.
3) Due to the terrible slow down at 7 and 8....we missed the halfway house hours. ???? Closed at 5?
Overall, I think a price break should have been offered. Or ever a few free beers.
Great Course For Golf now Deal
Best I have played at of all the courses in Georgia. Grass on fairways were green even though the roughs were dried, it played very well. The greens were in great condition. I would definitely try to get the same deal again to golf there. Hopefully when it is a little warmer.
Memorable round
Bears best is always fun to play. The course was in good winter condition. Cart path only which, oddly, I appreciate because they are taking care of the course. Greens were true if not a bit slow. The round was memorable for my first hole in one on 16!
febuary
It was a beautiful day. The course was in excellent condition. They take great care at maintaining the facility.
Fun and Challenging
Excellent course where each hole is one of Jack's best from around the world. Holes were challenging but most fairways were easy enough to hit. This course is all about the approach as the greens are extremely difficult.
Good Time Course
Had a very pleasant round despite the cool weather. Course was in great shape! We were particularly pleased with the recent bunker improvements.
Worst Place to play
Tee box is not worth. Every tee shot you have to find a new place and angle of your body. you have watch both your legs in teebox. otherwise you may be uphill or downhill tee box
Nice layout
Picked up hot deal. Definitely return if i see another one. Level tee boxes, manicured fairways, true greens.
Enjoyed this course
Very interesting course with the design of each hole being different. We are a seniors group that play many different courses. We all,six on this day, scored above our average, but chalk it up to wet winter conditions and tight lies. We look forward to playing it again in the summer.
Great layout - fun and challenging
Always enjoy playing here. Love the layout and course conditions and it's really nice to have green fairways in the winter. Only issue that needs attention was the very poor condition of the range and par 3 tee boxes...too many divots.
love this cours
Great place to play. Don't be in a hurry I've played here a few times and it has always been over 4 hour rounds. But the course is in great shape well worth what we booked it for on golfnow. Great food in the restaurant.
Nice course but could improve
I always have enjoyed playing Bear's Best. It has one of the best practice facilities in GA. Love the layout. My only complaint would be that some of the greens needed some attention.. I'm sure they will be handled by the spring. Not a cheap course to play unless you catch a deal on Golfnow and that will most likely be in the afternoon..
Winter play
I was able to secure a great deal in playing this course through Golfnow coupled with the season being winter. The course was great with fast and true greens and the weather was chilly. This course is challenging as I am not an avid golfer but I appreciated the great condition under these conditions.
Great Course
This course is great to play due to the variety of the holes. Some of the greens are small and challenging. Pace of play (during the week) was pretty fast. I have been playing for a year and a half and found this course to be a challenge but a lot of fun.. Will be playing it again soon.
