Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Grizzly/Kodiak Course
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.

Great courses
Enjoyed the round - really nice, well layed out and challenging courses. The time of year we played made it a little tough to play meaning the traps were wet and there was a lot of goose poop close to ponds. However, I have played during the summer and goose poop was not an issue. Has a nice club house and good off season prices at the restaurant. New golf carts with GPS and synthetic leather seats were nice to have as well.
Great day of Winter Golf
Wonderful day of golf. A bit wet in spots but it was expected after the thaw.
sun in February
course(s) in generally good shape. Greens still recovering from late season 2025 aeration plugs and did not track true. And range not open due to machine dispenser being frozen/jammed up. No Balls. Even the worst Pro's warms up a bit so amateurs definitely need it in order to have a respectable & pleasant round.
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
