The 2 toughest 9 hole courses, Black Bear and Grisley
The courses are long and tough. An unforgiving 18 hole but a good challenge.

Great place, nonsensical price
Bear trap is a wonderful 27 holes and clubhouse. Staff is great. The price point borders on absurd. It’s just plain not a course that warrants paying as much money as is charged.

Coastal favorite
A favorite course at Delmarva beaches. The 27 holes offer an interesting layout and course was in great shape. $100 for later afternoon tee time wasn’t too bad for high season at the beach. If I had a complaint, the greens were a little slow but maybe due to later afternoon tee time. Staff were friendly. We were paired with another twosome and pace was ok finishing in a bit over 4 hours.
