A bit pricey but one heck of a challenging layout, great condition and fantastic staff.

First time playing, from the moment we arrived, to time on the course we had a fantastic round....love the layout, everything is in front of you, can play long to short, fun learning the course. 100% guarantee we will be back

Winter conditions overall had a great Saturday in winter in Dallas course maybe a little unprepared for the extreme number players no range balls extremely slow play almost 6 hours didn't even play the last hole do the darkness will I return I'll give a 5 out of a 10 on whether I would return.

Overall not bad, just a long day, staff tried their best

1st time playing in Dallas as we just moved to Dallas. Picked Waterchase Golf and couldn't be happier, friendly staff, great condition and a great test.

Be ready for a fun and wonderful in shape course that is somewhat challenging and with different looks from the tee box and approach shots. Most clubs will be used in your bag.

The pace of play can be painful although they have staff riding around I have come to believe they just ride around and to afraid to tell a group to pick up the pace.

If you like 5 hours of hit and wait then certainly this is a good place for that.

BE WARNED!

Overall the course is amazing yet sadly I can’t say that about the staff or how long it takes to play a round. Frist the staff: After being on the course for 3:47 mins and only played thru 11 holes I called the Pro-Shop from the 12th tee to advise that we needed a marshal on the course as there were 4 Groups currently on the 12th Hole and 2 groups waiting behind the 11th green; not to mention the 3 groups playing the 11th. This had been the story throughout my round of the first 11 holes. The gentleman in the pro-shop said he would “try” and get someone out there and then proceeded to say to me after asking my name “didn’t you have 2 people cancel this morning in your foursome on your tee time? You know I should just charge you for the 2 No Shows since you only advised us this morning”. I said “What does that have to do with anything as you put another twosome with us?” He said “well I’ll just charge you now”. The exchange made no sense as he felt that harassing me was the answer to the slow play and for me calling the Pro Shop.

Needless to say if you call to complain about anything you will be harassed by the staff for complaining. I talked to other groups on the 12th tee box that mentioned that the Staff feels “it’s are gift and we are lucky as golfers to be able to play Bears Best and we shouldn’t complain”. They mentioned that in the past they also had complaints but was quickly “put in place by the staff.

Four groups decided to quit playing on the 12TH tee due to the length of slow play.

Second, the pace of play. If you have at least 5+ hours or even close to six hours to play golf and don’t mind having at least 2-3 groups on each hole, than Bears Best is the course for you.

Overall, I have played the course around 5 times, and the course is great; a true gem! But the staff and the pace of play are unacceptable. At these prices I would suggest giving your money to another course.
