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.

Late April review of Kodiak and Black Bear
We enjoyed our round immensely despite a constant 20 MPH wind and chilly weather. Courses were in excellent shape (tee boxes, greens, and fairways) with the always present tough rough. Terrific course, polite and enthusiastic staff.
Can't wait to play at Bear Trap Dunes again.

Cart Died :(
In all my years I have never had this happen. On hole 12 I noticed our cart losing power. By hole 14 it was powerless. I called the clubhouse 3 times and no one answered. I then called the extension to make a tee time and got someone. He unfortunately is not onsite. He called the clubhouse and no one answered. So my partner and I took turns pushing the cart for 5 1/2 holes while trying to finish. This made for a miserable time and messed up a nice round I had going. The was only 4:50pm and because there was trivia or something going on they must have closed early.. When I bought the cart in the folks at cart return were more concerned with cleaning our clubs and getting a tip. I can’t blame them because that is what they are there after all. Despite that big hiccup the course was in great condition and pace of play was nice. I’m sure once the tourists get into town the cost will dramatically increase and I might get maybe another round in before that.
I reached out to the golf shop through the website but have not heard back. Thus this lengthy review!
Go for the Bear
Very enjoyable course to play. Challenging and full of risk-reward. The staff is very friendly and helpful...Go for the chance to play Bear Trap Dunes.
Bear Trap
The course was in good shape and enjoyed the round. Had a great rate that made it a real value. Food at turn was good.
Excellent Course Layout
The course layout was great . Could move through it well . A little cold ! Excellent day of golf.
Great for winter
The course was practically empty, and in great condition for the middle of winter.
I really like Bear Trap Dunes
Winter golf rates are so.affordable through Golf Now. Played Thursday and Friday and my rate was $25 per round. Staff is great, and the course is in pretty good shape for mid-February.
