Rating 72.4

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.

5 Hour Round

Took 5 hours to play on a TUESDAY! There were 3 groups teeing off hole 10 and no one did anything about it. Maybe they should have had the bev cart so people could at least get a drink.

Nice track and nice conditions

The greens rolled true and smooth and for the most part, fairways were very nice. Would definitely recommend as a golfing experience.

Bear Trap Grizley and Kodiak

You're was in excellent shape. Greens were perfect, bunkers had good sandwiches and tees were fine. 5 sets of tees for any level. Course was fairly open even though there were water areas and water they didn't come into play if you hit reasonably straight. Clubhouse was nice too

Great day

Greens are PERFECT.

Tee boxes - great shape

Fairways - great shape

Staff - friendly and helpful

Overall - course in excellent shape for the time of year. Superintendent should be proud.

My only complaint is the greens are perfect and did not give me any excuses for missing putts!
