Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club - Grizzly/Kodiak Course

How much water? If you are not a straight driver, I would bring a ball retriever. Due to an injury my son could not play but he collected 52 golf balls. Don't worry it wasn't crowded and he didn't slow up play.

Bear Trap has a great layout. Although it doesn't cover a lot of acreage the dunes separate the holes nicely. You never feel like you are top of each other on the course. I played all 3 nines over Spring Break and was very impressed. As with all of the beach courses the best deals are in the afternoon. If you are in the area this is a top 5 place to play.

Has three different 9 holes courses. Great time. Always in great shape.

Played front nine on the Kodiak and the back nine on Black Bear. Even if the weather was not cooperative we enjoyed the run. The fairways are permissive and we didn't find the course too hard. Lot of waste bunker but not in play. The bagdrop area is different than other places, but its Ok. Nice course in general. Played my best round of the week.

Course is well maintained. You can score well if you keep it in the short grass.(duh) Lots of waste areas that are difficult to get out of because of blind shots.I have played a few times and pace of play has been good every time. Be sure to have lunch or dinner after golf because the restaurant is excellent .

Excellent venue with a staff that is there to please the players

Early season golf in the area can be "iffy", but Bear Trap Dunes was in wonderful condition for early April. Fairways, tees, greens, and bunkers were well-maintained. The staff was friendly, and, with three nines and three possible starting points, slow play is minimized. With the promotional rates, especially, the course is a good value overall. Of the eight rounds I played in the Ocean City, MD, area this week, I enjoyed my round here the most.

This golf course is always in very good condition. The tee boxes are level, fairways are forgiving, rough is not to difficult, approach area or false front is better then some greens i've played on, greens are slightly faster than average. Would play it more often if the rates were lower.

Great course. The course is beautiful and in wonderful shape! The layout is challenging with well bunkered fairways and greens, the stiff wind requires shaped shots on every hole, and the elevation changes are something special for a shore course! Also, the greens are tricky with subtle breaks, but role very well. Despite the challenge, the course is very player friendly (I only lost two balls) and a fun track to get around!

This course was in pretty good shape for an early spring round. The greens are almost all healed from aeration. About 50% of the bunkers look like they could use a little TLC. Pace of play was comfortable. If you're in the area play this course you won't regret it.

Great amenities and warm-up facility to this 27 hole facility. Many forced carries over water and elevation changes make this couse very tough but fun. Brng your A game and this course is definitely worthy of a rond while in The Ocean City rea. Beware of the wind in early spring.

Staff was nice and friendly. That particualr day, play was very slow. Alot of seniors playing which is understandable, so I
just chilled and enjoyed the weather and beauty of the course.

I played the course on a Saturday afternoon in October, and it was in really good shape. It's a challenging course, especially when there is wind in play. It is pretty wide open, so you can get away with spraying balls for the most part, but there are a number of water hazards that can and will punish you for a misplaced shot. Definitely worth the money. Looking forward to playing again.

Very enjoyable round. Course was in excellent shape.

course was in perfect condition. Play was slow at times

Well maintained course with attentive staff, except on the course. We played mid-week and got an outstanding price from the HOT Deals. We expected the pace of play to be quick, as we were a two-some playing behind another two-some. However, they were behind a very slow four-some. We were waiting at every hole. Our front nine took 2.5 hours. At the turn, the two-some in front of us jumped ahead of the four-some. Then we skipped hole #13 and went ahead of that group. From there it was easy to finish the back nine in under 2 hours. Unfortunately, the pace of play made the golf experience less then good.
I would still recommend the course, but the pace of play needs to be monitored.

Pretty well maintained course although today it was suffering from some recent heavy rains and bunkers were very poor.
Greens were good and speedy .
Pace of play was good and got paired up with Phillip( local) who was very friendly and improved our enjoyment of the course.
The staff was very nice.
Would play again if the price is right.

Not a destination. I happened to be doing triathlon nearby and wanted to fill in the day. I am single digit handicap who travels locally to daily fee courses. Not in the best condition, too many houses visible, certainly not a stonehoue/royal new kent /bulle rock. With golfnow prices so competitive this should have been less expensive to get bang for the buck. If you are stuck at the shore its going to fit your occasional golf needs, but no one with insight is going to travel here more than twenty minutes to play it.

Courses and people were fantanstic
Played form the white tee which was a mistake, should have played from the blues which would have made the course harder.

Good resort course, Keep it in the fairway and you will score good.

The golf course was ok..compared to others in the area...The greens were airated and we were not told..this is a pet peeve...The pace of play was ok and the fairways and green were ok..
