Bear's Best Las Vegas
About
At Bear's Best, a 7,194-yard track about 20 minutes from The Strip, the Jack Nicklaus design team stuck to recreating holes from other Jack desert designs, making them actually almost fit into the natural surroundings. (Aside from the black sand bunkers and that's just so cool, you don't mind).
Plus, they made the fairways wide, giving your ordinary golfer a good chance to get through the day smiling. You won't post a career-low score at Bear's Best, but you won't lose four sleeves of balls, either.
Four of the holes are replicas from Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, but also features holes from Nicklaus' Spain and Mexico work. The best thing about Bear's Best may be how the Nicklaus team, often accused of making their courses too tough, kept the average hacker in mind.
Yet what really sets Bear's Best up as a great play is the service. Every foursome gets their own forecaddie and the staff can make you feel like a VIP.
"Bear's Best is probably the greatest overall experience we've had on a course," regular Las Vegas golf visitor Josh Isadore said. "The guys are still talking about it."

Aerated Greens - Full Price without notification
Booked through GolNow, neither the course nor GolfNow notified of the Aeration of Greens taking place.. Still had to pay full price for a course in sub par condition.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a positive review! Thank you for playing Bear's Best Las Vegas.
It's just such a course
There are no trees and grass around the golf course, and it was not a very well-maintained course for the price.
Especially the green speed was too slow.

Great Course
The golf course is in great shape and fun to play. Plenty of challenge but still good for higher handicappers. Even the drink carts were correctly spaced.
Only negative would be that their are not enough restrooms on the course.
Thank you so much for the positive review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bear's Best Las Vegas.

Greens need care
The Greens were inconsistent and “bumpy” due to the grass being patchy. Excellent layout and super fun to play. Staff are very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Fairways were in good shape.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back soon!
Disappointing service
Visit each time I’m in Vegas. 3rd trip. Course layout, views are spectacular. Fairways great. Tee boxes awful- some sorta bare. Greens were a mess. Uneven, bumpy. Biggest problem was service. No one at bag drop. Dropped bag, parked. Still no one. Carried bag myself. Went to pro shop, asked for cart. Was told where I could get it myself. Loaded bags on own. Then no starter anywhere. So went out on own. As it appeared we were last tee time anyway. Course and views are a 5, service on this day a 1 (But refreshment cart girls were great!)
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for playing Bear's Best Las Vegas, we hope to see you back soon!
Poor Greens
Greens were thin and patchy...lightning fast.
Couldn't hold an approach shot on the green.
Expected better greens .
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Bear's Best Las Vegas!
Not good
Greens were very bumpy and patchy. Pins were in ridiculous positions. Would not go back.
