Bear Trap Dunes

I was lucky to have played in early March with warm weather! This course has three nine hole courses. It's a professional operation.

The range balls were included and you hit off the grass. I personally do not practice on matts.

The tee boxes were on great condition. I have played in ALL the Ocean City area golf courses. This is one of my favorite courses. It's an "A" course. It's on par with Baywood Greens, Rum Point and Lighhouse Sound. The fairways were absolutely in magnificent condition. The greens are fast.

There is plenty of water but the water doesn't generally come into play because the fairways are wide enough to keep your ball dry. The greens are all well protected by well maintained bunkers. Don't miss this course on your next trip!

Even with the wind gusting in the 30s, the round was very enjoyable. Put this on your list of MUST PLAY.

Course was OK. Kodiak was closed for repair so played the first and last 9 holes. Greens OK for winter.

Got a crazy good deal at Golf Now. AlwYs like

Playing the course. 65 degree sunny day in February. Course was in good shape in general except some of the greens on Grizzly were in pretty bad shape.

The 3 nine at Bear Trap offer a good variety of hole designs. Conditions were very good for end of Feb. Traps had fresh sand, greens pretty quick, tee boxes and fairways starting to come back from winter. Good pace of play, will definitely play there again.

Very nice course course conditions were excellent greens were a little fast

Outstanding setup. 3 great 9 hole courses with different venues. Very fast greens. Probably added 6 to 7 strokes to my typical score. I even 4 putted two greens....But still a great course and I will certainly play it again.

Bear Trap Dunes is a very good course. I'll play this course anytime the Golfnow price is good. Our only problem: frost delay! Our tee time was 12:36, plenty to do 18 holes. There was a 40 minute delay so we only got to play 15 holes (but for what we paid, no problem)

Played in 2 1/2 hrs for $13. Course in decent shape . Definitely play again !!!!

Always a good time at Bear Trap. I love this course.

The course is beautiful. The layout of the course was not difficult but with the wind gusting, it made the round very challenging. So it is good to have a "go to shot" with a low trajectory. There is water on the course but it is really only in play if you hit a very wayward shot (or are playing from the back tees that require you to carry water). If you play the forward tees you do not have to worry about forced carries.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The starter gave us tips when he greeted us and asked how we were doing when we made the turn. The on-course "amenities" were excellent (bathrooms at good locations) water at every hole.

I would play this course again.

Have played course many times and the last couple of rounds have been very disappointing. Greens were in terrible condition, play was ridiculously slow with no rangers on a packed course. For the golf experience and course condition, they are charging way too much for this track!

The grounds maintenance did more damage then any carts coulds. Wet and sloppy with wet grass dropping on every green. Fairways and greens looked like they had been hit by a barrage of artillery fire. Unrepaired divots everywhere. The course lacks proper management. I had to sear h for the starter for the first course and he was non-existent for direction to the second nine. Picked a course and played. Never saw the starter again. No one to help with bag after the round. Troon needs help.

Wide fairways and a very interesting layout with plenty of risk-reward decisions. Course longs to be a premium course but not really up to $95.00 a round IMHO. Staff is great and super friendly and accommodating. Pace of play on Sunday was horrible. Play during the week if you can.

Greens were bumpy due to being air rated recently. Played Black Bear to Grizzly. Some fairways we're burned out in spots while others were soggy. Couple greens on Grizzly had patches that were lost nothing but sand present. Staff were friendly and professional. Playing there again for a tournament on the 28th and hope it's in better shape.

This course is extremely convenient for me and I really like the layout, etc. The condition of the course however, leaves a lot to be desired. It was as wet as I have probably ever seen a course in spite of the fact that they have had little to no rain in the ten days before we played. Some fairways were so wet, and not necessarily in low spots, that drives would plug. In the center of the fairway. Others (#9 Grizzly) clearly had some severely wet spots yet they had run mowers right through them and created huge ruts in the fairway. The approach to #1 Grizzly was so wet that a well struck seven iron plugged in the turf. Ironically, the range was not on the mats for the first time in my memory. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find any grass on a range that clearly suffered from the same lack of attention as the rest of the course. When you are getting $100+ for a round you have to do better. In a day and age where the USGA is promoting fast and firm there really is no excuse for such poor practices. It is a shame because this could be a really top place to play. Make one wonder if the owners (Freeman Cos.) or the management company (Troon Golf) are paying attention.
