For all the bad reviews over the last year; the conditions at Bears Best are now some of the best. Fairways are lush and well groomed, greens are in amazing shape and rolling near perfect; the only complaint is the bunkers need work (seems like most courses do these days). I had been waiting to play until conditions improved and I would say the wait is over go play now!!!
Pace of play was really good for a Saturday and marshals were friendly and kept people moving. Staff was also easy to deal with and friendly.
Would highly recommend playing if you haven’t been back in a while

One of the best courses in Georgia with amazing views and a great layout. Greens are recovering from being aerated which will probably take a week or so to recover but rest of the course is in amazing shape. Growing the rough up which makes the course play that little extra difficulty. Just want to give a shout out to the staff, starters and Marshall’s, all were extremely friendly and professional. A great day on the course for sure.

The course is outstanding and the staff is amazing. What a great day on the course, conditions are near perfect, fairways are lush and cut nice; rough is growing up making it even harder and the greens are recovered nicely. This course is a great challenge with amazing beauty. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Really appreciate the great day!!!

This is a must play course. Beautiful views, challenging layout and a lot of fun. The course is almost perfect right now. Fairways are in great shape and in another week greens will be fully recovered. Very happy I got to play here

Course is really getting in good shape. Fairways are hard because of lack of rain but greens and course looks good. Greens were running a little slow but very true. A little rain and this course will be in pristine condition. Pace of play was awesome and rangers were out there and very friendly. Enjoyed a great golf day, highly recommend!!!

Course is in typical transition shape as we come out of winter. The greens are in nice shape and rolling really nicely. I will say they had spread fertilizer all over the course so I would expect it to be really nice in a couple of week. Looking forward to going back soon and would certainly recommend!!!

Great course and in great shape. Played on a Saturday and pace of play was good for a Saturday. Course is in great condition, greens are really nice bent, but people need to make sure to repair ball marks and help the course out. Very challenging course and nice layout keeps you on your toes the whole round. Can’t wait to get back to play again.

Course is in great shape and so beautiful. Only complaint was greens could be faster but they are in great shape. Get out and play this course!!!

The course is getting there. Still struggling with grass breaking through and cart paths extremely bumpy but they are working on it. You can clearly see they are working on replacing cart paths and have areas marked to fix. Tee boxes have little grass but looks like they are seeding, lots of fetilizer around so they are trying to get it in good shape. Greens are not bad.
Playing on a Monday pace of play was an issue; foursomes just playing very slowly with no one ever coming around to check the pace. People should be conscious if they are a hole behind and at least attempt to pick up the pace.
Overall you can see they are trying and doing some work to get it back.

Course is in nice condition, they are letting the rough grow up which makes it more challenging, stay in the fairway to score well. Only complaint is not on the course but the players,”REPAIR YOUR BALLMARKS!!!” Its amazing how people don’t want to take the couple of seconds to improve the course; might be wise for the course to give out the ball marker repair tool or something.

Great day overal and course is playing nice.

Amazing day and a beautiful course. First time playing and would certainly come back. Practice facility is amazing and greens are in perfect condition, they could be faster but they were very true. The only thing I would say needs work on this course is the bunkers but other than that it was near perfection. Everyone was extremely nice from staff to cart girl and the hot dog at the turn looked amazing. Thank you for a great day!!!

Course is in really nice shape and filling in nicely. Greens were a little shaggy but rolled well. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. I will be back for sure

Course is in really nice shape and pace of play was awesome for a Sunday. Layout is challenging but if you are hitting it well you can score, if not you are in for a long day.
Would highly recommend to try this course, I will be back for sure

St marlo is a nice course that’s greening up and in good condition. With a couple weeks it will be in peak shape. They are putting money into the course and have improved the bunkers and cart paths! They have replaced a significant part of the cart paths and look to be doing more, a big thank you.

I will certainly be back as the layout is always challenging and a fun course to play. Staff was super friendly and I look forward to another round.

Course is in good shape and greening up nicely. Absolutely no complaints. Greens roll good but are hard , fairways have good grass and playing well. A couple weeks and everything will be awesome. Pace of play was awesome for a Saturday and staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this course

This course is fun with a great layout. Greens still recovering from aeration and the winter play. Not the best condition it has ever been in but very enjoyable round. Right now I wouldn’t pay top price for it but if you can get a deal certainly worth it.
Carts are some of the best around and staff was extremely nice!

Best greens in all of Georgia right now. Fast and Slick and rolled perfectly. The course is unbelievable shape with some great holes. I would highly recommend playing right now. Can’t wait to play again and know where not to miss because greens are so slick you could putt off the green going downhill. What an awesome day!!!

This is a great layout and a challenging course. You will use every club in your bag. Agree with previous reviewers the cart paths are horrible and need work and the bunkers need some TLC but all can be fixed. The conditions are good struggling in some spots and the rain has caused some damage but they will recover. I will be back for sure. They do need better range balls for the price.

Great course with a nice layout you will use every club in the bag and some nice risk reward holes. Would highly recommend and the course is in great shape right now. Only complaint is people are not fixing ball marks, just common Golf etiquette!!!

The course is in great shape overall, greens are fast, rough is tough and they are growing it up; and course is playing nice. They do seem to have a problem on two of the greens where a mower or spreader has cause killed the grass on some greens. I am sure they will be fixing it as the other greens were great. Course plays very fair with interesting holes. Can score really well just keep it in the fairway.
Will definitely be back!!! Staff is friendly and welcoming
