Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Black Bear/Grizzly Course
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.

Great Course @ Great Price
Bear Trap Dunes is a very good course. I'll play this course anytime the Golfnow price is good. Our only problem: frost delay! Our tee time was 12:36, plenty to do 18 holes. There was a 40 minute delay so we only got to play 15 holes (but for what we paid, no problem)
Excellent Course Layout
The course layout was great . Could move through it well . A little cold ! Excellent day of golf.
I really like Bear Trap Dunes
Winter golf rates are so.affordable through Golf Now. Played Thursday and Friday and my rate was $25 per round. Staff is great, and the course is in pretty good shape for mid-February.
Great for winter
The course was practically empty, and in great condition for the middle of winter.
Price is great this time of the year
I don’t often get to play out during the summer because of the rates going so extremely high however, through Golf now this course is extremely affordable and in great shape for the winter. I truly wish all coarses around here would offer rates to residence of Delaware, So that the locals could play all year round at affordable rates
Winter Round at Bear Trap Dunes
Good price for a winter round at a great course. Starter was flexible and me out for a quick round.
Great for the Money
I took advantage of a Golf Now hot deal to play Bear Trap Dunes It is a beautiful corse which costs a lot to play in season but was discounted heavilly when I played afternoon hours during the winter. The complex consisted of 3 nine hole courses but we played only two of them (Grizzly and Kodiak) These course were magnificent However, the greens were recently punched for aeration and did not role true and the foursome in front of us moved extremely slow such that we were barely able to finish up before the sun set (we started at 12:54 pm and finished just before 5 pm). The staff are neither friendly or unfriendly. Basically they checked us in with minimal instructions about the layout and accepted the carts on return. I would have preferred a little more information and enthusiasm but I really can't complain about anything because the price was so good.
Always fun
Fun course - every hole is different and clubhouse is great. Greens were punched, but we knew that in advance. But when there’s 12” of snow in Canada, we were delighted to be at Bear Trap.
