Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Black Bear/Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are situated on a scenic stretch of coastline, just a few miles west of Bethany Beach. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations that tumble across sandy dunes and grassy hollows. The natural contours of the coastal landscape largely determined the movement and flow of all three nine-hole courses. The nines, Grizzle, Kodiak, and Black Bear, all have winding fairways bordered by native wetland grasses and lush, oversized greens that boast some of the best conditions on the Eastern Shore. The Black Bear/Grizzly combination is the longest of the three golf courses. Not only does the coastal terrain provide many natural hazards, including several water features, there are also strategically placed bunkers with which to contend.

Over priced compared to others.
Fairways and greens very good.
Off fairway conditions not good.
Excellent time, beautiful course.
Incredibly surprised at the friendliness of the staff, the professionalism, and attention to details that make this a great course. Beautiful course. Overall a great experience. I see why this is one of the more popular courses. We will be back!
Nice course
Nice course in good condition and friendly staff. Expensive but better deal than other courses in area.
Nice layout
This course is a nice layout with some great looking holes. Enough water to annoy you but if your striping the ball you will be fine. The starter sent a twosome on the bear course and when I finished Kodiak there was a foursome and a twosome waiting at the 1st hole or the 10th for me. That is annoying and causes back ups. It is not right, I teamed up with the twosome so it was not that terrible. However, do the right thing and don't let people cut into the rounds.
The course was in great condition
this is a good place to play golf just a little overpriced but generally speaking the best within 15 miles
Fantastic course
Course was in prestige conditions. Rewarded for hitting fairways as some pins were tucked nicely and required you hitting from the short grass. Staff was great too. We will for sure be coming back.
Great time
Course was in fantastic shape, pace of play went smooth, staff was great.
Nice course
We’ll laid out course. Course has 3 different nines. I played the twilight time with a cheaper rate. Not sure in my opinion it’s worth $125 for a round.
The course was really nice. The greens were firm and rolled well.
Bummer that the carts don’t have gps on them.
I had a twosome in front of me that could have let me played through. They were younger and one played 2 balls on a few occasion off the tee box while I was sitting there waiting. I wasn’t in a huge rush but the offer would have been nice.
Love this course!!
Really enjoy this course every time we play. Always in good shape, great staff.
Awesome day
Had a PERFECT weather day on Monday at Bear Trap. Played two of the three nines in the early afternoon in about four hours. The only bad news for me was that the range was closed on Mondays so I couldn't warm up.
using the Tee off app saved me a TON of money too!
Excellent time
Great course, friendly and helpful service! Always enjoy Playing this beautiful course.
Fantastic Experience
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and interactions with all staff was extremely pleasant
