Bear's Best Atlanta

I don’t know how a golf course could have financial issues these days. You can’t get a tee time, there is so much player interest. They used to overseed this course with winter rye. It was amazing - green fairways in January. Also, the greens were always fast and true. They needed to be rolled. They used to have cart guys meeting you in the parking lot, to take your bags. Nope. Maybe it’s just February, but seems like they have slipped.

Had a 1:30pm tee time Sunday afternoon. Paid $85, not informed that they were an hour behind due to a frost delay. Half the range was closed and the Emory golf team was practicing. No grass left on the range. Just seemed as if no one was running the show and no offer of a price reduction, even though we started at twilight. Just not a great experience and the course is not what it used to be, $85 seemed like a good price, but the experience was poor.

Saw a hot deal and had to grab it to play Bears Best. Course is in good condition for winter golf. While grass is dormant overall it made for a great round. Greens are in good condition and running at a good speed, bunkers are full of sand and well taken care of, tee boxes while dormant still have some grass. They had fertilizer in all the right places and you can see they have put in some good work so that it will be in great condition for the Spring. Overall, course is in very nice winter condition and well worth a hot deal. I would fully expect it to be in tip top shape in a month or so when grass blooms!

Although the course length was not very long, it was composed of holes that had to be approached very strategically.

It was a very fun course, and the course condition was good.

I think the green speed should have been a little faster. It was the Bears' best, but the green speed was a bit slower than other stadiums.

Great course, and was paired with another father and son who were amazing representatives of Bear's Best members. We will be coming back!

The course and greens were perfect. I was so pleased with the layout and setup that we cant wait to return. Staff was super nice too!

The course was pretty open and we were allowed to tee off earlier than scheduled. The starter was friendly and easy going. The weather was beautiful and with the pace of play, my playing partner and I were able to get 36 holes in before darkness in November. The course looked like a lot of maintenance was being put in before winter and they take hold in Spring. Overall, a great day of golf.

Too slow, too many pock marks on the Greens, but it's a great place to play and it's put money into pushing the ceiling of public play in metro Atlanta.

They need to space the times out to 12 min, 8 does not work. It never will. But this remains about as good as it can get for public golf, so if you're looking for smooth and cared-for Greens, you're already in the wrong place, that's for private clubs.

Arrived and no one at bag check and carried bags to pro shop ..

Place seemed empty.. wanted to eat after round but nothing happening

I know it was Monday but service compared to Chateau courses is lacking

Course has some great holes but in reality is generally wide open off the tee..

Par 3's are highlight.. Especially 6th - memorial par three and 11th

Lies around the greens were typically bare and tight

Greens were decent..

Hole 1 was tough and tight but some easy short par 4's followed..

Holes 7 -9 -10 and 12 are dull.. The 12th might be the most boring hole i have ever played.

I hit around 70 pct of fairways - highest ratio for 2023 shows how open it is at times

5th and 13 th are best par 4s ..

Ladies struggled with the forced carry on many holes ..

Not rushing back
