Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Grizzly/Kodiak Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club in Ocean View is conveniently located just three miles west of Bethany Beach along the Eastern Shore. The club offers 27 championship holes that are divided into three different nines, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Black Bear. The holes are played in three different combinations. Each nine has a unique character but every course shares winding bentgrass fairways lined with native wetland grasses and a landscape of sandy dunes and grassy hollows. The Grizzly/Kodiak Course is the shortest of the three combinations but it still has the same level of challenge. Strategically placed bunkers come into play along the oversized greens and water hazards also come into play on a few holes There is an interesting variety of holes that each require a different strategy.

Fun course, friendly staff
Played the course right after a big rain. It was wet but drained well, and the overall conditions were excellent. It was relatively easy from the white tees.The staff were very friendly and accommodating, getting us out even though our tee time had technically been cancelled. Would certainly return!
Great course and staff
We played on a very wet day. The course was closed during the morning rain but reopened at noon so we lost out 11:54 tee time. Staff was very accommodating getting back out. Fairways and greens drained well, some water in traps, but everything was very playable and in excellent condition.
Nice course. Undiscounted rates much too high. Pace of play was fine on front nine. Mich too slow on back.
An Enjoyable Course
This is a challenging but fair course, in great shape. Although the pace of play was slower than I would have liked, it was all in all an enjoyable experience.
Challenging and Long
A beautifully maintained course that is long and challenging. Offers something for long ball hitters and those with precision.
Great experience
Conditions are great, practice facilities are great, greens run true, however the greens are slow and very soft. So good for most skill levels but not ideal for better players.
Fun Course!
Second time playing there and unfortunately did not get to play Grizzly :(. However, the Kodiak / Black Bear was just as nice as the first time. Had a bunch of rain the day before and it was cart path only and it made out for a longer round. I get it though! I’ll definitely be back as long as TeeOff provides great rates and MORE options PLEASE. As these local courses start to penalize locals change and increase rates so it’s unaffordable TeeOff is the ONLY way I’ll get to play them.
Very fun track
I got to play Kodiak and Black Bear. Both were a little different but very nice track. I look forward to coming back and playing Grizzly!
Enjoyable
Played here for the first time on a very windy Tuesday in May. I really liked the layout. Interesting, challenging, but fair. The day we played was a tough day weather-wise, but I had fun. I want to return in more summer like conditions to really be able to enjoy the routing.
Early May
Hours before we started it actually hailed in Mayso it was cart path only no biggie. We didn't run into anyone the whole round due the quick storm. The course was in greatcshape, super fast greens, well maintained fairways and bunkers. The course is nestled in The Bear Trap Community so your not going to get the wildest or most scenic layouts but still a very pretty course.
