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.

Perfect Day

The weather could not have been better, about 70 degrees, sunny and light winds. The course was in great condition and greens were quick. Only part of the course not in great shape was the sand traps.

Bear Trap Dunes

Course was nice. Range balls included in price but not cheap. I understand, it's at the beach and not a ton of competition. One of the better in the area. Would play again.

This us a good course, challenging, strategic, etc. Course was in good shape for end of summer. I played as a single so there are always challenges with pace. Good for practice in playing a couple of balls. Had hoped to be paired up didn't happen so only played 9 as it gets too frustrating waiting.

Slow Greens

If you like slow greens, open fairways and accessible approach shots, this course will give you a chance to shoot a better than average score.

The conditions were a little rough but reasonable for a public course.

$135 is very steep for this course.
