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.

Pace of play was horrific
Well .
Some.how there wax SIX golfers playing in front of me .
Not sure how that was happening.
Took about 3 hrs to play 8 holes
Totally unacceptable
For the price to play a round is somewhat gopf.gpuging in my opinion
The overall course is in excellent condition
But slow play and the starter should no better on a weekend in the middle of summer
Great time at Bear Trap
The staff was amazing and the course was great, I would highly recommend it.
cart path
The course goes cart path only all too often. We played 9 times this year and 5 were cart path only. A real pain. Also, if you are going to force people to use the cart path, pls fix the vary bumping cart paths. The cart paths are in terrible shape
A very nice golf course.
Considering all the play it gets the course was in excellent condition. Lots of tee choices, too
Quality course
Highly recommend, course was in very good shape, greens were reasonable speed!! Unlike other courses I played in the area this week were incredibly slow. Much accolades to the Bear trap crew!!
Needs some TLC and Mich Better Pace of Play
Great layout and staff. Bunkers in bad shape. Greens inconsistent and bumpy. Tee boxes beat up. Fairways surprisingly lush. Worst part was pace of play. No staff on course to move things along - Wild West with backups everywhere.
Good course conditions
With a discount from Golf Now, the playing experience was very good. Having range balls included along with the course conditions, we had a great time. Greens were rolling well too! The only knock was an increasingly slow play as we approached and made the turn. Didn't see much course help to move things along which is always definitely appreciated, especially on a hot summer day.
Rata
Good course for value & quality at a beach course. Good greens, clean tee boxes, fairways could be cut a bit shorter. Club house & restaurant are top level for a public course.
Great walking courses
First, the Staff was Excellent! Everyone from Starter/ Cart guys/Pro Shop. Everyone was very Professional and had Great Customer Service skills. That goes a mile for me. 3 9 Hole Courses that when I play again, I will walk. You don't need a Driver if you hit over 225 yards. 3 wood is fine. The real test here is keep in the Fairway and your scoring is 100 yards in. Alot of bunkers so be careful. I enjoyed my round. A little pricey but what's not now a days.
Great course
Country club feeling for the day. Course in great shape staff is super friendly. Will definitely be back
Awesome
One of the best in the area, country club amenities. Starter is awesome, very accommodating staff, course conditions are top notch. One extra club at sea level. Love it each time I play here. High fives to the crew, great work!
Good Course To Play If You Snag A Prepaid Hot Deal.
Enjoyed it very much.
Nice layout (Black Bear - Grizzly).
Would play again when I’m back in the area, especially for a Hot Deal.
