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.

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)
Love this Course
Really enjoyed our round but didn't start off well. The golf cart attendant was rude, and not at all helpful! He wasn't busy when we arrived but completely ignored us. When we asked a question his response was short and a bit rude. Other than that we thouroughly enjoyed the round.
