For diehard Jack Nicklaus fans looking through lists of Las Vegas golf courses, look no further than Bear's Best. Comprised of 18 of the most famous holes from Nicklaus' courses around the world, Bear's Best is as unique as the Las Vegas experience. Golfers shouldn't get too accustomed to the style of play or surroundings at Bear's Best because they change quickly and drastically. Holes No. 2, from Nicklaus' Cabo del Sol course, and No. 5, from Eldorado Resort, give golfers a taste of how Jack works south of the border. Both holes feature deep waste bunkers and quick elevation changes.
The eighth hole is a 600-yard par-5 that switches things up and transports golfers to the evergreen forests of Rockies. Taken from The Bear's Castle Pines course in Colorado, this hole nicely juxtaposes the earlier desert holes and showcases the course's variety. Both nines start with a taste of something most vacationing golfers won't get elsewhere: a taste of Nicklaus' Private Course at PGA West in Palm Springs, CA. The palm trees on the opening hole will try to steal your attention from the water lining the left side of the hole. A bunker splits the fairway on the tenth, messing with drives and setting up a downhill approach.
