Played here again this past weekend with a terrific amateur player who plays here 4x/wk. It was pretty neat to watch how the course could be managed from the tips (him) and mis-managed (me) for a 20-stroke difference.
Anyway, the new GPS is here, and it's one of the nicer ones, although they force you to listen/watch Jack describe each hole as you roll up on the tee box. Definitely slows down play, and makes you wait about :10-:15 before you can get your yardage. No option to shut Jack up (no disrespect meant Mr Nicklaus).
I was a little disgruntled by the starter not keeping me informed (I was a single, and got skipped by "buddies of the head pro" because of the tardiness of a couple of people they'd paired me with). When I asked the guy in the proshop, the starter (you know the type) got all huffy and said "if you want to complain, I'll send you out alone". Nope, just let me know what the heck's going on, pal, and we'll be cool.
Despite the ruffled feathers on my and his parts, the course was incredibly well conditioned for mid August. Tees, fairways, and greens showed stress from the constant play coupled with heat, but after the re-seed next week, I predict awesome playing conditions the remainder of the year.
Just try to avoid getting your hackles up by an old-style starter who doesn't have caddies to manipulate anymore.

Played here on a beautiful summer morning with very little wind. This is my first time playing here and is now my favorite golf course in Vegas. Conditions for the summer were immaculate. From tees to greens could not find a fault! Layout is superb with every hole a different signature hole. Views of the valley are spectacular. The summer deal for locals was $79 about double other courses but you also get a sleeve of prov1's and lunch off the menu before or after the round!! Well worth the price since it is morning round as well before the heat of the day. My new favorite golf course in Las Vegas. A must play!!

This course was in amazing condition. Seeing as though I live in Minnesota, this was my first round in 6 months, but this course was manegeable after the long lay off. Little tricky with the wind, whi... Continue »

This course was in amazing condition. Seeing as though I live in Minnesota, this was my first round in 6 months, but this course was manegeable after the long lay off. Little tricky with the wind, which died down after 9 holes, but all in all, this was a very nice course. I would highly recommend this course.

Played on 3/7/08. The Course was in excellent condition. The Staff was Fantastic and the Couse gives you a challenge. I look forward to playing it next year.

Just a quick note to let you know that caddies are gone. Clubcorp killed the program Nov 1st. I attempted to play the course on a windy day last week, gave up after 8, but it was nice to not have to deal with a caddy. (Just my preference.)

Signature Gold price is up to $35. Compared to Canyon Gate at $20, Canyon Gate is the deal of the year. I hate to quibble about paying $35 for a $250 course, but to pay that for a cart without GPS? Cmon guys, why is it $35?

They tell me GPS at Bears Best in a few months. (No caddies anymore means the upscale resort golfer paying $250 for a round must have GPS.)

Almost perfect greens; far better than any to be found currently on the "country club for a day" circuit. Caddie was excellent, and worked his rear-end off for us. Course was in good shape. Staff were... Continue »

Had an 11:50am starting time on 11/26. Our forecaddie was John. John should find a new line of work. I have never seen someone more incompetent. He did not know the breaks of the greens, gave minimal information, most of it incorrect. Spent a great deal of time eating his lunch instead of paying attention to what we were doing. By the 17th hole, he was off by himself, hitting wedge shots! Pathetic.

It was a fantastic golf course, and we came a long way to play it, but the round was really ruined by the caddie they stuck us with. I can't imagine him keeping that job very much longer. The single that joined us had a buddy who just rode along with him in the cart as a walker. He turned out to be a d%mn ed good player who hit a few shots here and there just for fun with my sticks, and despite not ever seeing the course before, helped me more with the breaks on the greens than our poor excuse for a caddie. I hope some of you have a better experience than my wife and I did.

Played Aug 9th. Course is in excellant condition. Doubled 17 and tripled 18 for a 78.

If you are ever in Las Vegas and want to play a premier course, this is the one. I have never had such a wonderful time. The course is by far the best and the people there only know how to please. My caddy was Mike Mendoza, and I would recomend him to anyone.
