Bear's Best Atlanta

Excellent.....golf club ..and beautify.... I like play against.

I'm no professional golfer, but I've played my fair share of courses in Georgia and wow, this place is incredible. The fairways are meticulously kept up to par and the greens are the same way. I will certainly be coming back more and more. The prices are actually quite reasonable; we played 18 holes with a cart for $32. Can't beat that! Absolutely love this course.

It's great to play so many of Jack Nicklaus' great hole layouts in just one day.
The tee boxes were watered and it was nice to be able to put a tee in the ground without the use of a hammer, like you see on a lot of courses around Atlanta. Airation and sanding was done sometime in the past week or so to the greens, but it was still pretty decent around the greens. Greens held all shots nicely. The course was in really good shape over all. One bad comment though, the hole locations may not have been moved in a week because all the edges of the holes were pretty beat-up.

The course was in great shape except the greens were a little thin but that is expected on bent this time of year. Front side is fairly flat with #6 par 3 all over water as well as #12. Back side is more difficult as elevation comes into play especially a par 5 that is straight uphill. Need GPS to speed up play as only sprinklers are marked and a layout of each hole on the scorecard would definitely help especially on the backside. Overall a good golf course for the money if you can get a hot deal otherwise a little pricey.

Course was in great shape. Greens were fantastic and very good layout. However, pace of play was very slow and no marshall there to monitor.

The course was in great shape. Every hole was picturesque. The only issue was they had an outing going on and it slowed play to the point of frustration. I was told the outing wouldn't delay us, but in fact it was the only bad thing about the day. We waited on nearly every hole and every shot from the 5th hole on. Almost 5.5 hours to play.

I have played courses all over the country and this is one of the BEST public courses I have ever played! It is an absolutely beautiful course in immaculate condition... There are no "blind shots" as everything on every hole is visible - really nice for "first timers"! I would give this course a 10 star rating if I could!!

The course is in great shape. Staff in the pro shop was friendly and accommodating. That being said pace of play was horrible. No Marshall in sight called the pro shop no answer. I might be wrong but this selfish dude must have been a member because of his arrogant attitude. this dude had his kids who should have been a on the driving range not the course. Playing from the senior tees. Holding up the entire golf course. At least 6-7 groups stacked behind them. Groups had to skip holes to get around them or the would not have finished the round before dark. At one point his unsupervised son Hit a ball from about 15 yards short of the green with a driver that almost hit two of us in the head. When that happened I screamed at the father, no apology. He just told his son you have to back off INCREDIBLE. You have to do better Bear's best.

Fun, challenging, and interesting course. No two holes are alike. The par 5s are where you get your strokes back from the par 3's. Would have been a perfect round if the pace of play was not so slow. We paired up with the twosome behind us and still waited on every shot plus had the people behind us hitting into us. However, the marshall was giving out discounted rounds due to the slow play. Definitely a course worth playing if you can get a good deal.

This is a good golf course with a variety of challenging holes, but it's not in the elite group of Atlanta courses and certainly not worthy of a $100ish green fee. We got a special on golfnow - otherwise we would have played elsewhere. Tee boxes are weak - some being rebuilt and a couple others are uneven. Range is shot....they need to manage the turf allocation better. Or relate people to mays during poor weather conditions. The range turf was similar to windy ridge. Greens get an A although they were slower than I would have expected. Otherwise almost completely healed from aeration and very true. 5/6 bunkers were in great shape, one was beachy. Slope from blues is misleading as the course plays short...not deserving of 137. Clubhouse is weak 80's architecture and oriented for large groups and banquets. Pro shop is stocked and the starter and cart girls were polite and present.....although was a little disappointed that a 4:30 Sunday start led to a 4h20m round. Shouldn't have been waiting on shot after shot. A top dollar course should ensure a 4 hour round - any decent private club would tolerate nothing less.

It's an awesome course for the price of $32.. I wouldn't pay more $65. But it's a great deal for the twilight hours

Looked forward to playing here for the first time. Lived up to its reputation. Three of us were paired up with a member, helped having him with shot locations

Great course! Weather great and staff. I HATE PAYING FOR GOLFNOW FEES as I book 90 rounds a year. #giveusfeefreegolf

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Course was wet but very playable despite cart paths only.

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.
