Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Black Bear/Grizzly Course

I enjoy these courses. I am a 13 handicapper. Some narrow fairways, some wide open fairways. The greens had been aerated so I can't really comment but they looked good. Nice views all around and the people were friendly.

The course is always in good shape but the course doesn't grab me like some of the nicer ones in the area. I would not ever pay full price for this course like I would other courses, and this outing was a 1:40 tee time for $40.00 which was the reason we played it. I have been a part of group outings here when the staff and company were not friendly.

Played the Blue Tees on Wednesday the 21st and had a great time. Generous fairways, straight forward layout and large greens make this a perfect tourist course, it won't beat you up.
The GolfNow price of $70 was about right - I might have a hard time paying $110 very frequently.

Very nice conditions with the greens rolling true. Pins were placed in positions where the holes were score-able but also tough in some situations. It is also nice having 27 holes to play from.

we've been coming to bethany for several and the people in the pro shop have always been the friendliest and most accommodating. this year we got delayed and ended up being an hour late for our tee time. when i called they were very cordial and when we arrived were able to get out without problems.

Need to cut grass on driving range when the demand for it is not in high usage. Communication needs to be better between staff and management. Had heavy rain on 3rd hole did not find out cart path only until 8th hole.

Booked through GolfNow for a super rate. Loved the course and would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the staff being a little "less than talkative" to the non members. Although the starter, Buck, was very nice and welcoming.

Course is a good value and fun to play, pace of play was good. you never felt rushed or crowded.

The staff is courteous and efficientl, we teed off right on time, and the course was in excellent condition, with one glaring exception: the bunkers had been made practically unplayable by a couple of recent storms. Apparently the bunkers lack effective irrigation, suggesting a major winter project is indicated. I have played this course many times and they seem to be improving somewhat on another problem they have had: managing the flow of groups around the three nine hole courses to prevent backups at the turn. Yesterday, we were able to tee off on our tenth hole with no wait. In the past, we have always had to wait, as additional groups had been sent off ahead of us. But overall, this golf course is a pleasure to play. It is both scenic and sporty. Players are tempted to cut watery corners on dog legs and try to reach the par 5s in two. There are plenty of risk/reward options, making the course equally playable for average and better players alike. My wife loves to play it, as it is one of the most female friendly courses in the region.

Course was in pretty good condition. No real issues to speak of. Greens were fast but true

Very enjoyable course with great choice of tee boxes, nice fairways and excellent greens.

Overall a great course! Good mix of easy holes and
Tough holes. Greens were in great shape as well!
The driving range was in horrible shape! Hitting off dirt was
a disappointment.

Played 18 at bear trap yesterday. Course is in much better shape than in past years. Fairways well watered and very soft (no Brittish Open here). Greens firmer and it good shape. Played as a twosome in about 3 hours. Tried to play another 9 assuming we could play for a cart fee, especially since it was 4:30 and the place was empty. We were surprisingly dismissed by pro shop where they wanted another $35, almost as much as the $45, we paid for a full 18!

Surprised by this behavior but otherwise a fun afternoon.

Need to play it again. Well designed with a good mix of settings and challenges, the kind that can throw you for a loss if you "overplay your hand."

Staff on hand are grand and the driving range and chipping & putting greens excellent.

Course had received plenty of rain in recent weeks and we were playing "cart paths only." Tees were fine, fairways were wet and undulating, greens receptive but fairly smooth and pretty quick.

Played midday Sunday and in under 3 1/2 hours. Course is in very good condition. Played Black Bear and Grizzly. Moderate difficulty from blue tees; very playable.

Medium challenge, good course, choice of 3 9 holes

the course was in great shape and the staff was friendly. The greens were very smooth and very fast. The 9 hole replay is a little too expensive.

We played after some rain on the previous day and some of the bunkers were unplayable. Other than that it was a nice day on the course.

Great course. Friendly & professional staff. The pro shop was well stocked with great clothes for both men and women. Everything was new and clean. Excellent golf experience.
