Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Black Bear/Grizzly Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club boasts 27 holes of championship golf that are situated on a scenic stretch of coastline, just a few miles west of Bethany Beach. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations that tumble across sandy dunes and grassy hollows. The natural contours of the coastal landscape largely determined the movement and flow of all three nine-hole courses. The nines, Grizzle, Kodiak, and Black Bear, all have winding fairways bordered by native wetland grasses and lush, oversized greens that boast some of the best conditions on the Eastern Shore. The Black Bear/Grizzly combination is the longest of the three golf courses. Not only does the coastal terrain provide many natural hazards, including several water features, there are also strategically placed bunkers with which to contend.

Love this Course
Really enjoyed our round but didn't start off well. The golf cart attendant was rude, and not at all helpful! He wasn't busy when we arrived but completely ignored us. When we asked a question his response was short and a bit rude. Other than that we thouroughly enjoyed the round.
Great course, windy day
Great course, windy day
We played the black bear and the grizzly. For February golf, the course was in great condition. It seems that the greens were aerated not so long ago, but they were in great shape, still very true. Sand was fluffy despite recent rains. The wind was very strong on the day that we played.
The pace of play was good. We finished the round in just over 3 1/2 hours, which is excellent
plenty to come back for
The course is well maintained in winter and I look forward to playing this mix of elevation, water and sand again in-season
Good value in the winter months
Really enjoyed playing Black Bear and Grizzly. Pretty easy course, especially since it’s under repair in the winter and we played from the white tees. Good value for the money in the winter while the summer is a little bit steep. Not many areas to get in trouble along the fairway, but the greens make up for it with major undulation. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends and will come back myself!
Soggy wet course
Still can’t complain 60 degrees in January to play. Slow due to cart path only and the wetness of the course.
