Fun Resort-Type Course
Fun course, very well kept, with generous landing areas. The greens had a fair bit of undulation and were generally fast, at least in one direction.
Errant shots could be costly with woods and deep rough, but there was plenty of room to land your drives and miss your approach shots.
The course is fair
I enjoyed the course. The white tees make it very playable even for seniors to play over 5,800 yards. A good mix of water and bunkers to make it a little challenging.
Have played multiple times. The earlier tee times are the way to go, place of play is typically better a little over 4hrs.
Dissapointing Time
I have played at BT Dunes over 20+ times. Empty Ice bucket over 90 degrees was dissapointing and still both carts had empty divot replacement fillers empty. For $140 during peak season you would hope that they would want to maintain there course better. Also a troon member, but because my pro didn't call, no discount, no consideration. Even shared back feedback, with no response. Oh well.
Beautiful challenging course
I’m glad I played this course my last day - otherwise I would’ve been disappointed with the other 3, very nice courses, I played on my trip.
solid course
We were charged $75 but our 3 player was charged $143. Need to amend pricing policy.
Great course slow pace
Bear Trap is a well designed well maintained course. The pace of play was very slow and on course amenities are limited. Good value for a great experience with my son and sons in law.
Pace of play was horrific
Well .
Some.how there wax SIX golfers playing in front of me .
Not sure how that was happening.
Took about 3 hrs to play 8 holes
Totally unacceptable
For the price to play a round is somewhat gopf.gpuging in my opinion
The overall course is in excellent condition
But slow play and the starter should no better on a weekend in the middle of summer
Great track and facility, but far too expensive
I have been playing Bear Trap for many, many years. The course is almost always in phenomenal shape. Pace of play tends to be pretty solid since there are 27 holes. The facility and amenities are great. The cost to play a round there is entirely absurd. I don’t know what else to say about it.
Great time at Bear Trap
The staff was amazing and the course was great, I would highly recommend it.
cart path
The course goes cart path only all too often. We played 9 times this year and 5 were cart path only. A real pain. Also, if you are going to force people to use the cart path, pls fix the vary bumping cart paths. The cart paths are in terrible shape
A very nice golf course.
Considering all the play it gets the course was in excellent condition. Lots of tee choices, too
Quality course
Highly recommend, course was in very good shape, greens were reasonable speed!! Unlike other courses I played in the area this week were incredibly slow. Much accolades to the Bear trap crew!!
