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.

Great time
Course was in fantastic shape, pace of play went smooth, staff was great.
Love this course!!
Really enjoy this course every time we play. Always in good shape, great staff.
Nice course
We’ll laid out course. Course has 3 different nines. I played the twilight time with a cheaper rate. Not sure in my opinion it’s worth $125 for a round.
The course was really nice. The greens were firm and rolled well.
Bummer that the carts don’t have gps on them.
I had a twosome in front of me that could have let me played through. They were younger and one played 2 balls on a few occasion off the tee box while I was sitting there waiting. I wasn’t in a huge rush but the offer would have been nice.
Awesome day
Had a PERFECT weather day on Monday at Bear Trap. Played two of the three nines in the early afternoon in about four hours. The only bad news for me was that the range was closed on Mondays so I couldn't warm up.
using the Tee off app saved me a TON of money too!
Excellent time
Great course, friendly and helpful service! Always enjoy Playing this beautiful course.
B4 Memorial Day weekend
Course was in great shape from the tee box to the greens including the sand traps. New carts. Great practice area. I got around in 3:45 which was unusual but enjoyable.
Fantastic Experience
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and interactions with all staff was extremely pleasant
Great course, with small hiccup
The Black Bear and Grizzly 9's were so much fun. The layout is challenging, but very fair. Greens were slow. The problem we encountered was a foursome ahead of us, that was incredibly slow, and would not allow us to play through (we were a twosome). A very do-able 4 hour round turned out to be a 5 hour round. A ranger could have alleviated this issue. Otherwise, we definitely want to return!
Great, but…
Great course very friendly staff. Disappointed no one mentioned aeration prior to spending the money. Not able to putt really. Super bouncy and untrue. Definitely recommend calling to check before booking. Would certainly recommend and will play again.
Greens just aerated
Course was very wet so cart path only. That really slowed the pace of play. Greens had just been aerated and top dressed with sand, so putting was impossible. Rates seemed to have been adjusted, so round was still worth the price.
Great round at Bear Trap given the time of the year
Had a great round at Bear Trap. The course was in very good condition given the fact that it is late February in DE. It was cartpath only which can and was annoying but understandable. But the course was in fact pretty dry. Not crowded which is unusual for this course. But it is Feb 23 after all.
