Bear's Best Atlanta

Title says it all. Worst experience from any of the metro Atlanta courses .

This is one of the best courses in the Atlanta area. It is in great shape except for a few tees that need new sod. Friendly and helpful staff. I’ll definitely play it again.

Greens rolled true, but a little slow. Fairways in excellent shape. They are working on bunkers, but we found most of them in pretty good condition. Some tee boxes a little rough. Grill room is pretty spartan and, although they say they offer “breakfast”, when we got there at 9:15 to eat before our round, we were told the cook “usually” arrives about 10 am. So, maybe they should say they serve brunch.

The course is really looking good. Greens are some of the best in GA, rolling smooth, fast and minimal ball marks!!! Course drained well even after some rain and bunkers are pretty good. Only complain would be some tee boxes have minimal grass but the staff told us they are going to be sodding them over the next couple weeks. Overall the course has come back great after a rough winter. Look forward to playing again.

Excellent course design. Offers variety of challenges while being very forgiving. We'll maintained and staff very service driven. Will be back.

Course is in great shape and continues to be one of my favorite designs and challenges. Wish it was a little more affordable for non-members though.

BB is the best daily fee value in metro Atlanta. They've redone about half the bunkers, the other half is due to get sand later in '23. That's a game changer, since sand hasn't been refilled out there in years.

Greens condition would be that of an excellent resort if players had a clue how to repair ballmarks, or if the course figured out how to monitor that better. We all wish people would take care of their own, and many of us fix 3 or more each green, but it's about time that better public courses literally send someone out to 6 Greens a day to spend 15 min or so repairing damage.

Course was in good condition other than some fairway bunkers. Greens were solid, some ball marks but rolled decent. Pace was a bit slow but not too bad (about 4 1/2 hrs). Overall a great course to play and worth the price.

Second time playing Bear's Best Atlanta. I took the time and read about each hole and I really like the history. Ninety percent of the course was in excellent shape. A few of the tee boxes were pretty bare with no grass and a few of the older bunkers need updating/sand. Hole #4 was my favorite. Love that black sand! So cool!

be careful here, they stagger their wait times at only 8 mins and send folks out nut to butt. We got hit into twice and was told were playing slow by the staff meanwhile we were waiting on every tee shot.

Course was in terrible shape...greens had been punched 3-4 weeks ago but still not healed, tee boxes were awful and fairways were not good. Pace of play was terrible and no marshal to be seen. Half the bunkers are unplayable (which they did make us aware of beforehand)...worst part was the $115 rate, absolutely no excuses for it for the condition of the curse. This used to be a great course and gold facility but it's really, really poor now, especially for what they charge. Won't be back anytime soon.

This used to be a great place to play (almost year round) but it has fell off the cliff in the past couple years or so. $115 a round for the course condition of this place is crazy. Won't be back anytime soon.

Played this course today, paid $135 and expecting a premium experience. This course has zero amenities, the pro shop opened up an hour late so I only got 10 minutes to hit balls on the range. The fairways were full of weeds and the roof was unkept. The greens were slow and sloppy. I have played public courses in Georgia that are far better for half the price. I was unimpressed. Jack Nicklaus should be embarrassed that his name is tied to this course. I will never come back. I didn’t even have a bad time playing. I just couldn’t believe what a garbage, goat track of a course, this was at that price.
