Bear's Best Atlanta

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.

So sad to see the course is such bad shape. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers all in bad shape. Most tee boxes don't have a lot of grass, the fairways are less than ideal and most of the bunkers are a joke. The greens were recently aerated so I will give them a pass on that. The areas around the green are terrible. Save your money, even the Hot Deal rate of $70 is still $40 too high. The Nicklaus group should be embarrassed to be associated with this course. I have played here many times over the last 10 years and it really has gone down hill. Save your time and money, so many better options.

Shout out to Ian and the rest of the crew at Bear's Best! Even with the greens punched (they are almost back to normal), the round was a blast!

All sand traps have been re-done, and that is a big plus from where they were last season! They have been groomed, and while I had the unfortunate luck of testing them yesterday, they played great! Nice - loose - sand.

Course looks to be in great shape and the pace of play was on point... Tuesday at Bear's was a blast!!!! Excellent value for the fees!!!
