Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Grizzly/Kodiak Course

Course in great condition. It was cart path only on front nine due to rain recently but changed to 90 drug rule for back nine which was helpful. Well stocked snack shack. Overall, a very enjoyable course to play. A bit pricey but there deals to be had if you are flexible about tee-times.

Though one of the hottest days for golf, our there's one had a very nice time. We played the 'blended' tees. The fairways were generous and the trouble was not too onerous. I will definitely play this layout again.

Very well maintained! Nice place to golf. Very skill challenged course! Fun

First off, my overall 3/5 rating and my lack of recommendation of this course is relative to what it is (or purports to be). If this course were being compared to your local muni, it would certainly score higher. But given the competition within a 45-minute drive, it's difficult to recommend Bear Trap Dunes.

The amenities are outstanding, though. Everything from the clubhouse to the restaurant to the snack shack is top-of-the-line. The atmosphere surrounding the course gives one the feeling that it will be worth the $125 prime time rate.

The course, however, did not live up to that feeling. The greens and tee boxes were average at best, and at times, below average (compared to almost any course). The layout was not terribly interesting, and there were no memorable, picturesque holes as one may hope to find on a resort/vacation/destination course. Luckily, I received a $30 discount on my tee time, but even with the savings, it'd be tough to recommend this course to anyone visiting the OCMD area. I have only played three other courses in the area, but I would certainly recommend two of them before BTD (Lighthouse Sound and Baywood Greens), and given the choice, I'd play the other one (Man O' War) before returning to BTD as well.

If you can get on this course of $40 or less, it's probably worth it. If you are looking to drop $100+ on a round though, go play Lighthouse Sound (or any of the other course options in the area). I may have caught the course at a bad time, but when it comes to vacation courses, they usually only get one shot to impress the out-of-town visitors.

Excellent conditions, if you like speedy greens, this is the place. Test all aspects of one's game

Played Bear Trap Dunes many times. Course is always in great shape and well maintained. The setup offers an enjoyable challenge. Staff was very accommodating in allowing us to move up our tee time significantly so that we could get in round before rain moved in.

Pace of play was great! Staff was nice. Course had been aerated and we were not made aware but it was still ok for the money and we were there to enjoy the nice day!

The only problem with the course itself was that the greens had just been aerated and sanded and were ridiculously difficult to putt on from any angle.

The score card lacked a course layout on it and I found that inconvenient since the golf cart "card" was not very handy to use. Also, for a course like this, there should be a GPS in each cart.

I was lucky to have played in early March with warm weather! This course has three nine hole courses. It's a professional operation.

The range balls were included and you hit off the grass. I personally do not practice on matts.

The tee boxes were on great condition. I have played in ALL the Ocean City area golf courses. This is one of my favorite courses. It's an "A" course. It's on par with Baywood Greens, Rum Point and Lighhouse Sound. The fairways were absolutely in magnificent condition. The greens are fast.

There is plenty of water but the water doesn't generally come into play because the fairways are wide enough to keep your ball dry. The greens are all well protected by well maintained bunkers. Don't miss this course on your next trip!

Even with the wind gusting in the 30s, the round was very enjoyable. Put this on your list of MUST PLAY.

Course was OK. Kodiak was closed for repair so played the first and last 9 holes. Greens OK for winter.

Got a crazy good deal at Golf Now. AlwYs like

Playing the course. 65 degree sunny day in February. Course was in good shape in general except some of the greens on Grizzly were in pretty bad shape.

The 3 nine at Bear Trap offer a good variety of hole designs. Conditions were very good for end of Feb. Traps had fresh sand, greens pretty quick, tee boxes and fairways starting to come back from winter. Good pace of play, will definitely play there again.

Very nice course course conditions were excellent greens were a little fast

Outstanding setup. 3 great 9 hole courses with different venues. Very fast greens. Probably added 6 to 7 strokes to my typical score. I even 4 putted two greens....But still a great course and I will certainly play it again.
