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.

Slow Greens
If you like slow greens, open fairways and accessible approach shots, this course will give you a chance to shoot a better than average score.
The conditions were a little rough but reasonable for a public course.
$135 is very steep for this course.
The Kodiak and the Grizzly Nine
Course was in excellent condition. Greens held nicely and were rolling smooth and consistent. Starter was helpful and accommodating.
Course conditions are terrible!
We were on a golf trip and this was our last course. We played at 2:00 pm on a sunday. They charges us $160 but the conditions were horrific. Lots of bare spots in the fairways and greens. The sand traps had grass growing in them. Our group of (8) country club members were very, very dissapointed. Then when we were done, the clubhouse was closing so we could not have drinks to review our bets and no food. We had played Plantation Lakes Golf & CCC the day beofre and that was only $100 and far better conditions. We will NOT play this course agian, eventhough they are promoting the Troon Group stay away!
Incredible pace
Played this as a single on a Friday morning at 7am. Finished in 2.5 hours (played through two groups of 4). Course was in great condition and the starter was helpful to get going for my first time.
Beautiful Course to Play
This is a scenic course with plenty of challenges for talented (and less-so) golfers. Water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, and quite a few hidden greens make this a course that requires an honest assessment of one's skills. Well-maintained with a friendly staff. The best public course in the area.
Beautiful front 9 (Black Bear) great layout, well maintained conditions. I’ll play again.
