Awesome day
Had a PERFECT weather day on Monday at Bear Trap. Played two of the three nines in the early afternoon in about four hours. The only bad news for me was that the range was closed on Mondays so I couldn't warm up.
using the Tee off app saved me a TON of money too!
Excellent time
Great course, friendly and helpful service! Always enjoy Playing this beautiful course.
B4 Memorial Day weekend
Course was in great shape from the tee box to the greens including the sand traps. New carts. Great practice area. I got around in 3:45 which was unusual but enjoyable.
Fantastic Experience
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and interactions with all staff was extremely pleasant
Great course, with small hiccup
The Black Bear and Grizzly 9's were so much fun. The layout is challenging, but very fair. Greens were slow. The problem we encountered was a foursome ahead of us, that was incredibly slow, and would not allow us to play through (we were a twosome). A very do-able 4 hour round turned out to be a 5 hour round. A ranger could have alleviated this issue. Otherwise, we definitely want to return!
Great, but…
Great course very friendly staff. Disappointed no one mentioned aeration prior to spending the money. Not able to putt really. Super bouncy and untrue. Definitely recommend calling to check before booking. Would certainly recommend and will play again.
Greens just aerated
Course was very wet so cart path only. That really slowed the pace of play. Greens had just been aerated and top dressed with sand, so putting was impossible. Rates seemed to have been adjusted, so round was still worth the price.
Great round at Bear Trap given the time of the year
Had a great round at Bear Trap. The course was in very good condition given the fact that it is late February in DE. It was cartpath only which can and was annoying but understandable. But the course was in fact pretty dry. Not crowded which is unusual for this course. But it is Feb 23 after all.
Another enjoyable round at Bear Trap
Course was in great shape for this time of the year. Greens were punched but that is not uncommon. Pace of play was very good. Kind of cold and windy but unfortunately Bear Trap can’t control that. Great value!
Did Not Finish
Pace of play was to slow to finish 18 holes before darkness set in . Tee time was 1:03 pm. Bar and pub was reserved for a trivia contest and non players were not allowed in the bar.
Bear Trap
Nice course but they had aerated the greens so slow and bumpy but it is off season so to be expected
Lovely course
Great course with no two holes alike and lots of interesting greens. Staff were friendly and very helpful.
