Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Kodiak/Black Bear Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Bear Trap Dunes Good Course to play if at the Delaware Beach
Bear Trap Dunes has 3 9 hole courses. Each a bit different and nice layout. Very fun and challenging courses. My favorite is the Black Bear. Kodiak and Grizzly are nice as well. Must play if at the beach
Early Season Deal
I enjoy Bear Trap every time I'm there, this was no exception. Got a good early season deal and played Kodiak and Big Bear, nice tracks in good shape for March.
Great course, great value
Course in great shape considering it's still March. Can't complain about service because it's still off season.
Great courses
Love the course! Has a great layout with someone challenging holes and some easier holes. It was early spring so course is just returning after a tough winter. Was in great shape for the time of year and will improve as it gets closer to summer.
Good time had by all!
Brought my friend out. He has not played since last summer. He is still working on his game. Still very much a beginner. We played from the white tees and distance was a challenge but fair. Everything went very well. Entire staff was amazing. We had a very good time. My friend told me he wants to play the course every time he comes down. I think that is the best compliment any course can receive.
Great spring conditions
This course was in great shape for late March. Greens were firm and fast and fairways were in great shape.
Almost perfect conditions
The course (Black Bear/Grizzly) was in great shape. Clearly well maintained. The greens were recently punched and sanded, which was a downer, but that’s part of the program. We finished, on a pretty full course, in 4:05. Fantastic!
Bear Trap Dunes Must play if near DE beaches
Bear Trap Dunes ia a must play golf course if you are near the Delaware beaches. Friendly staff really fun 3 nine hole courses and the conditions are always nice.
Nice place to play.Good value
Played with my 2 nephews.Course was good.Enjoyed playing there!
Bumpy greens
It was a great day in March to get out and play with the weather being as nice as it was, got to the course pro shop staff was very friendly along with the cart guys. Play with three other gentlemen, and we had a fantastic day.
It was my first time to the course. I will definitely come back and play it a little bit later. My only. Negative was the greens had been punched probably two weeks prior so you could barely put on them without the ball looking like it was in a pinball machine bouncing around.
The other thing that I found odd was when we made the turn, I went in to get a Gatorade or Powerade and they had neither.
Place a plate and course layout were excellent like I said I will definitely come back and play this course again because I think it will only get better
Great courses
Enjoyed the round - really nice, well layed out and challenging courses. The time of year we played made it a little tough to play meaning the traps were wet and there was a lot of goose poop close to ponds. However, I have played during the summer and goose poop was not an issue. Has a nice club house and good off season prices at the restaurant. New golf carts with GPS and synthetic leather seats were nice to have as well.
Great day of Winter Golf
Wonderful day of golf. A bit wet in spots but it was expected after the thaw.
sun in February
course(s) in generally good shape. Greens still recovering from late season 2025 aeration plugs and did not track true. And range not open due to machine dispenser being frozen/jammed up. No Balls. Even the worst Pro's warms up a bit so amateurs definitely need it in order to have a respectable & pleasant round.
