Bear Trap Dunes

I play here as often as I can; in my opinion the best course in the State (DE).

Bear Trap Dunes is one of my most favorite courses in the area. The 3 nine hole layouts are extremely well designed and scenic. The staff is friendly and the courses are well maintained.

We played the Kodiak and Black Bear courses and they made for a fun day. We had the course almost to ourselves so we could play at our pace with no wait and no one pushing us. The greens, fairways and rough we're excellently maintained, but the sand traps need some attention, so try to avoid them. The course is scenic and has some beautiful views. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, a great experience and we plan to return.

Greens were a little fast but the overall condition of the the course was excellent. Using GolfNow.com provided an excellent value and a very enjoyable afternoon of golf.

The course is well maintained and I enjoy playing there. Great clubhouse and restaurant also.

My wife and I decided we wanted to play golf on Sunday morning so I checked tee times on GolfNow.com. We got a great deal for early afternoon. The course was in good shape with fast greens. We played in under 3.5 hours. The wind was blowing, but it was a wonderful sunny day we couldn't pass up.

Excellent condition. Fast true greens. Fairways are in fantastic shape as well.

Great 27 holes. Well maintained. Very friendly and helpful staff. Off the tee and from the fairway not a difficult course. The fun begins around the greens which were fast and had a lot of break.

I played this course in early Sept. of 2013 for the first time. I had just played two other golf courses in the area prior to playing Bear Trap (plyed Baywood and Bay Side). The course was not even close to being in the same kind of condition as the other two courses or other courses that I played during the week. The greens were spiked up and there were "dirt patches" on certain parts of hte fairway.

My biggest compliant though would be that of the staff - in particular the guys that get your clubs and set you up with a cart. They were very rude and not pleasant at all. When we returned our cart after finishing we were actually yelled at for not parking it in the proper place (there are no signs to tell you were to park). No way will I return or would recommend this course to anyone.

Nice track with a nice staff. One of my favorite courses at the beach.

Not a lot of difficulties here, minimal water and other hazards, fair bunkers, reasonable fairways/rough, challenging greens. Overall worth a visit, will do again

Bear Trap is too expensive and more than we are willing to pay to golf. We were fortunate to get such a great value this time because the greens had been aerated. Love the course. Wish it wasn't so pricey and we would play it all the time. Beach house is 2 minutes from the course and we drive to Ocean City to play all the time for more affordable courses.

I enjoy these courses. I am a 13 handicapper. Some narrow fairways, some wide open fairways. The greens had been aerated so I can't really comment but they looked good. Nice views all around and the people were friendly.

The course is always in good shape but the course doesn't grab me like some of the nicer ones in the area. I would not ever pay full price for this course like I would other courses, and this outing was a 1:40 tee time for $40.00 which was the reason we played it. I have been a part of group outings here when the staff and company were not friendly.

Played the Blue Tees on Wednesday the 21st and had a great time. Generous fairways, straight forward layout and large greens make this a perfect tourist course, it won't beat you up.
The GolfNow price of $70 was about right - I might have a hard time paying $110 very frequently.

Very nice conditions with the greens rolling true. Pins were placed in positions where the holes were score-able but also tough in some situations. It is also nice having 27 holes to play from.

we've been coming to bethany for several and the people in the pro shop have always been the friendliest and most accommodating. this year we got delayed and ended up being an hour late for our tee time. when i called they were very cordial and when we arrived were able to get out without problems.

Need to cut grass on driving range when the demand for it is not in high usage. Communication needs to be better between staff and management. Had heavy rain on 3rd hole did not find out cart path only until 8th hole.

Booked through GolfNow for a super rate. Loved the course and would have given it 5 stars if it was not for the staff being a little "less than talkative" to the non members. Although the starter, Buck, was very nice and welcoming.

Course is a good value and fun to play, pace of play was good. you never felt rushed or crowded.
