Bears Best Junior Open

Learn More

Bear’s Best Golf Club gave the Bears Best Junior Open exactly what a serious junior event needs: a venue with identity, difficulty, and real championship presence. Located in Suwanee, Bear’s Best is built as a Jack Nicklaus “greatest hits” course, with 18 holes inspired by some of the most iconic designs from across his portfolio, including holes tied to places like Muirfield Village, PGA National, Castle Pines, Shoal Creek, Sherwood Country Club, and Gleneagles. That gives the property a big-stage feel before a player even hits the first tee shot. What makes the venue work so well for the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour is that it does not feel like a soft resort round. It plays like a premium, championship-caliber test, with bentgrass greens, strong conditioning, strategic bunkering, and a layout that forces players to think through shots instead of just swinging freely. The course is also recognized as one of Georgia’s stronger public golf experiences, with Bear’s Best describing itself as a high-end club experience open to the public and outside sources noting its reputation as a top-tier daily-fee facility. For this event, the venue clearly shaped the story. Across multiple divisions, scores rose, separation came from patience and discipline, and the players who won were the ones who managed the golf course instead of trying to overpower it. That is exactly what you want from an HJGT stop. Bear’s Best did not just host the tournament — it elevated it, giving the weekend a polished, nationally credible atmosphere that matched the standard of a premier junior golf event. This is the kind of venue that reinforces HJGT’s brand: competitive golf, premium setting, and a course that makes winning mean something.
