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.

Bear Trap Dunes Winter Golf
For winter conditions course was in good condition. Play was car path only but still finished in 4.5 hours. Weather in mid 50's with light wind was perfect.
Bear Trap
We played on a Saturday afternoon and pace was so slow 2 hours 45 minutes, which is expected. Played the back in 1 hour 30 minutes because it was getting dark. We had dinner there, Saturday special Prime Rib which was delicious. Definitely worth the trip
Sooooo Goooooood :)
It was our first time here. The course has three 9-hole layouts. We arrived an hour early, and they allowed us to start playing right away. The staff was friendly, the grass conditions were excellent, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. We will definitely visit again next time.
Course in good shape for November… greens excellent..tee boxes a little worn..
Must Play
Great track. Greens were in great shape and super fast.
Tough course to putt! Very challenging but great layout
The best part of my round was the guys I played with. Everything else is also wonderful and the complimentary balls for the driving range make it perfect. Use the Golf Now app and get a great rate on greens fees.
Great course
We played Kodiak to Black Bear, and the course was in excellent condition. The Staff was friendly and pleasant, and most importantly the pace of play was excellent. We got around in 4 hours and weren’t pushed at all, I highly recommend.
The greens are perfect.
I played here again after playing here a week ago. The greens were so fast and rolling true that made me want to come back again. They were still fast and perfect. A lot of subtle breaks, not easy, but nice to see the ball rolling like you do when watching the tour play on TV.
Great course, awesome syaff
Fun course, challenging, and in great condition even with all the recent rain. We had a great time.
Perfect Day
The weather could not have been better, about 70 degrees, sunny and light winds. The course was in great condition and greens were quick. Only part of the course not in great shape was the sand traps.
