Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Kodiak/Black Bear Course
About
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club sits along the Eastern Shore, sprawling across a scenic landscape of coastal dunes and grassy hollows. There are 27 championship holes at the club that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The nines, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Black Bear, are all different though they share many of the same features including winding fairways lined with native wetland grasses and oversized greens flanked by strategically placed traps. The Kodiak/Black Bear combination follows the natural contours of the coastal terrain, fully utilizing the ample sand dunes that cover the landscape. There is also plenty of water that comes into play throughout. All three golf courses at Bear Trap Dunes are challenging but they are fair and player friendly enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels.

Nice staff and nice course
The course and people are nice. “Cartmaster Steve” is the best.
It all depends
We played « Kodiak-Black Bear ». The Kodiak is boring. You always have to aim left, either because the right side of the course is out-of-bounds or because all the trouble is on the right. The Black Bear is a different story. Every hole is different from the precedimg one. Very interesting nine holes. On both the first and second nine holes, fairways and greens were in bad shape. The greens were jumpy and quite slow. However, we must recognize that we played early in the season.
Surprisingly, the were no starters and no « Marshall ». A very slow group in front of us made it a long day.
Great Course. Got lost three times
As a first timer, it’s very confusing because it is three nine hole courses. The biggest issue is that there’s not very good signage directing you to the next tee. I got lost three times.
Aearation
Should have it posted somewhere on the app the dates for aeration. Greens were just punched and sanded. Not playable. I get it I’d March Not worth any money to play when other courses were open
Kodiak
Had a great time. Staff was very friendly. Course was in typical winter conditions. Greens just a bit bumpy from late fall punching. Fairways were fine. As it turned out, at 76 years old, I shot my best round ever (84)
