| - Tourists and locals beware - I'd really like to write a glowing review of Bear's Best. Perhaps in the past I would have written one, but something there has changed.
I checked my GolfLogix account and I played 13 times at Bear's Best in 2016, and up until March I had played three times in 2017. I won't be going back.
I brought two friends from out of town to Bear's Best on March 12th, who knew they would pay full price, $204. Mind you, this is more than the rack rate at Wolf Creek in Mesquite, which is by far a much nicer course. They also brought 3 parmates with them, and paid the full rider fare for each of them. I showed my local ID, then my casino employee ID, and they told me I had to pay full price. The local rate on this day was $89. I asked to speak with a manager, and the clerk told me the best that he could do was offer a rate of $149, which I paid. I gave him my business card and asked to have a manger contact me - one month later I am still waiting for a call.
So, we played golf. I'm not sure what happened to the course, but it was in terrible shape. Everyone who played that day deserved a cut rate - the greens were sandy and aerated, the tee boxes were unmowed, and the fairways were brown all over. This is not the Bear's Best that I know. It's usually in great shape, which is why I recommended the course to my friends. They were not happy with me, and certainly not happy paying over $200 per person for a course in this shape.
With so many other great options in town for less money (TPC Las Vegas, Bali Hai, Reflection Bay, etc), and with such a bad attitude towards tourists and locals alike, I don't see a reason to go back.
