Pleasant Surprise!
Didn’t expect the course, staff & members make our golf experience so grand! Course was in mint condition & we played with a member Kim who couldn’t have been more accommodating & friendly to us. We drove in from St Louis to play in all 50 states. This course in Delaware was such a pleasant jewel & surprise. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to play a great course!
Enjoy a Bear or more
Bear Trap Dunes is an outstanding place to hang out in Southern Delaware! Nice course, great conditions, and very friendly staff! Always enjoyable and challenging to play.
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.
