Good Course To Play If You Snag A Prepaid Hot Deal.
Enjoyed it very much.
Nice layout (Black Bear - Grizzly).
Would play again when I’m back in the area, especially for a Hot Deal.
Friendly and helpful staff. Nicely maintained clubhouse and bar
Didn’t get to play - rainout
It’s a shame golfnow states they do not offer refunds on hot deals. Rained out by the first hole. $100 down the drain.
Bear Trap Dunes must play
Played 4/26/26. The course is in great condition. Especially the greens. It's in great shape. The pace of play was a little slow bur reasonable for a Sunday round. If ever in Delaware beaches Bear trap is a must play
Bear Trap Dunes Good Course to play if at the Delaware Beach
Bear Trap Dunes has 3 9 hole courses. Each a bit different and nice layout. Very fun and challenging courses. My favorite is the Black Bear. Kodiak and Grizzly are nice as well. Must play if at the beach
Early Season Deal
I enjoy Bear Trap every time I'm there, this was no exception. Got a good early season deal and played Kodiak and Big Bear, nice tracks in good shape for March.
Great course, great value
Course in great shape considering it's still March. Can't complain about service because it's still off season.
Great courses
Love the course! Has a great layout with someone challenging holes and some easier holes. It was early spring so course is just returning after a tough winter. Was in great shape for the time of year and will improve as it gets closer to summer.
Good time had by all!
Brought my friend out. He has not played since last summer. He is still working on his game. Still very much a beginner. We played from the white tees and distance was a challenge but fair. Everything went very well. Entire staff was amazing. We had a very good time. My friend told me he wants to play the course every time he comes down. I think that is the best compliment any course can receive.
Great spring conditions
This course was in great shape for late March. Greens were firm and fast and fairways were in great shape.
Almost perfect conditions
The course (Black Bear/Grizzly) was in great shape. Clearly well maintained. The greens were recently punched and sanded, which was a downer, but that’s part of the program. We finished, on a pretty full course, in 4:05. Fantastic!
Bear Trap Dunes Must play if near DE beaches
Bear Trap Dunes ia a must play golf course if you are near the Delaware beaches. Friendly staff really fun 3 nine hole courses and the conditions are always nice.
Nice place to play.Good value
Played with my 2 nephews.Course was good.Enjoyed playing there!
Bumpy greens
It was a great day in March to get out and play with the weather being as nice as it was, got to the course pro shop staff was very friendly along with the cart guys. Play with three other gentlemen, and we had a fantastic day.
It was my first time to the course. I will definitely come back and play it a little bit later. My only. Negative was the greens had been punched probably two weeks prior so you could barely put on them without the ball looking like it was in a pinball machine bouncing around.
The other thing that I found odd was when we made the turn, I went in to get a Gatorade or Powerade and they had neither.
Place a plate and course layout were excellent like I said I will definitely come back and play this course again because I think it will only get better
