Always a pleasure at Bear Trap
From the beautiful course layout they have for all 27 holes to the superb warm up area and driving range, This place never fails to impress. They also don’t overcharge like most courses in the area. Great all around facility and course.

well maintained course, great value, friendly staff
it's mid-March after a very harsh winter so it was pleasantly surprising that the course was so well maintained and played so well. Had it not been for the recent aerification the greens would have been much more playable, but hey, it was a great day and great fun. Thanks, Bears!
