About this course
Bear's Best Atlanta is located in Suwanee, Georgia, north of Atlanta, and is part of the nationwide Bear's Best concept created by Jack Nicklaus and operated by Invited (formerly ClubCorp).
Rather than a single original routing, the course assembles 18 holes replicated from Nicklaus designs around the world, drawing from courses such as Castle Pines, Muirfield Village, Sherwood Country Club and Shoal Creek. It opened in 2002, giving golfers a sampling of Nicklaus's varied design styles in one round.
The club operates as a public daily-fee facility with membership options through the Invited network, offering dining and tournament hosting in addition to golf.

The journey from tee to green at Trophy Club of Apalachee leads to Champion Bermuda putting surfaces, which are known for their quality in the region.

Strategic bunkering and the presence of the river provide a memorable challenge. The facility also includes a full driving range and practice area for golfers to hone their skills.
