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.

Coastal favorite

A favorite course at Delmarva beaches. The 27 holes offer an interesting layout and course was in great shape. $100 for later afternoon tee time wasn’t too bad for high season at the beach. If I had a complaint, the greens were a little slow but maybe due to later afternoon tee time. Staff were friendly. We were paired with another twosome and pace was ok finishing in a bit over 4 hours.

Evening golf until dark

Got a great deal ($45 each player) because odds were against finishing 18 before dark. Fun course with lots of challenges. Only negatives: Cart path only and some spopngy soggy areas on some fairways, plus too many mosquitos, all due to a week of heavy rains. Otherwise a greeat time!

Wow Beat Course in OC

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, everything about this course says country club amenities. Thank you for leading the way on how to treat and greet guests. First impression this week was the same as the Fall, super welcoming. Course is beautiful, challenging but fair. Love this course. Thanks times 27 to the grounds crew as well! Great work!

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
