Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club in Ocean View is conveniently located just three miles west of Bethany Beach along the Eastern Shore. The club offers 27 championship holes that are divided into three different nines, Grizzly, Kodiak, and Black Bear. The holes are played in three different combinations. Each nine has a unique character but every course shares winding bentgrass fairways lined with native wetland grasses and a landscape of sandy dunes and grassy hollows. The Grizzly/Kodiak Course is the shortest of the three combinations but it still has the same level of challenge. Strategically placed bunkers come into play along the oversized greens and water hazards also come into play on a few holes There is an interesting variety of holes that each require a different strategy.

Enjoyable
Wide fairways large greens. Plenty of bunkers and water hazards. Very enjoyable to play.
The 2 toughest 9 hole courses, Black Bear and Grisley
The courses are long and tough. An unforgiving 18 hole but a good challenge.
Great course
The facility was excellent and the course was perfect
Great place, nonsensical price
Bear trap is a wonderful 27 holes and clubhouse. Staff is great. The price point borders on absurd. It’s just plain not a course that warrants paying as much money as is charged.
Coastal favorite
A favorite course at Delmarva beaches. The 27 holes offer an interesting layout and course was in great shape. $100 for later afternoon tee time wasn’t too bad for high season at the beach. If I had a complaint, the greens were a little slow but maybe due to later afternoon tee time. Staff were friendly. We were paired with another twosome and pace was ok finishing in a bit over 4 hours.
Evening golf until dark
Got a great deal ($45 each player) because odds were against finishing 18 before dark. Fun course with lots of challenges. Only negatives: Cart path only and some spopngy soggy areas on some fairways, plus too many mosquitos, all due to a week of heavy rains. Otherwise a greeat time!
Wow Beat Course in OC
Extremely friendly and helpful staff, everything about this course says country club amenities. Thank you for leading the way on how to treat and greet guests. First impression this week was the same as the Fall, super welcoming. Course is beautiful, challenging but fair. Love this course. Thanks times 27 to the grounds crew as well! Great work!
