Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Black Bear/Grizzly Course
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.

Fast greens in good condition. Still had a couple of marks from airation. fairways were beautiful. We didn't score well, but we are going back.
Failure To Clean Up Following Flooding . .
I booked this course on the recommendation of the staff at a local golf shop vs. another course, unfortunately the Golf Course greenskeepers had done very little to get the course cleaned up after a few days of inclement weather. Evidence of flooding was everywhere and not cleaned up despite being at the course 4 days following the heavy rain . . flooded bunkers and or approach areas were left in poor shape.
The other BIG issue for this course was the lack of the course staff (rangers) to monitor groups slowing down the pace of play. My foursome was stuck behind a VERY POOR group of golfers who continually caused us to wait . . front 9 holes took 2:15 Hrs to play and there was no 'pace of play' course officials in sight the entire time.
I will not return and will be brutally honest when asked about the course; one player in our foursome was a member of the club and indicated this was the 'norm'. Other foursomes were seen complaining at the turn to the back nine and my group requested relief by playing another portion of the course for the 2nd/back nine holes.
