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.

Similar handicaps
I wish there was a way to match up players with similar handicaps / playing ability.
4.45 hrs round of golf and a couple that should be playing pitch and put not a difficult championship course. In the reservation ask for your handicap and
Would you like to play with comparable players.
All parties would benefit and pace of play would improve I hope.
Rainy
Unfortunately it rained during the whole round, but we still had a good time. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the course was in great condition. Also the bunkers drained very well. For a rainy day of golf we couldn’t have chose better.
Could be better
Granted the weather did not cooperate but the slow pace of play and the lack of any water or snack cart service compounded the "cart path only" conditions. I would like to return when the weather conditions are better and not stuck behind beginners topping the balls and hitting it sideways while the rain was pounding us.
Always a pleasure at Bear Trap
From the beautiful course layout they have for all 27 holes to the superb warm up area and driving range, This place never fails to impress. They also don’t overcharge like most courses in the area. Great all around facility and course.
Always happy at Bear Trap Dunes
The course is always in good condition. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very nice conditions
well maintained course, great value, friendly staff
it's mid-March after a very harsh winter so it was pleasantly surprising that the course was so well maintained and played so well. Had it not been for the recent aerification the greens would have been much more playable, but hey, it was a great day and great fun. Thanks, Bears!
Great value
