CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL
Recent Suwanee golfer discussion confirms the thing that matters most: Bear's Best is public and generally bookable without the private-club hassle. The course also has enough local reputation that golfers compare its player-development program against joining private clubs.
THE NTB TAKE
This is a weird concept that actually sounds fun as hell:
Jack Nicklaus basically took 18 holes from his design résumé and built a greatest-hits album.
The downside? The current guest-rate benchmark is \$94 plus tax on the weekend.
Our call: definitely worth playing once. Whether it becomes part of your regular rotation depends on how much ninety-something-dollar golf your marriage and bank account are willing to tolerate.
