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.

Failure To Clean Up Following Flooding . .
I booked this course on the recommendation of the staff at a local golf shop vs. another course, unfortunately the Golf Course greenskeepers had done very little to get the course cleaned up after a few days of inclement weather. Evidence of flooding was everywhere and not cleaned up despite being at the course 4 days following the heavy rain . . flooded bunkers and or approach areas were left in poor shape.
The other BIG issue for this course was the lack of the course staff (rangers) to monitor groups slowing down the pace of play. My foursome was stuck behind a VERY POOR group of golfers who continually caused us to wait . . front 9 holes took 2:15 Hrs to play and there was no 'pace of play' course officials in sight the entire time.
I will not return and will be brutally honest when asked about the course; one player in our foursome was a member of the club and indicated this was the 'norm'. Other foursomes were seen complaining at the turn to the back nine and my group requested relief by playing another portion of the course for the 2nd/back nine holes.
