Great course from start to finish
Played after a heavy rains and the course was great. A+ drainage. Great staff, great pace of play. Will be back.
great course however...
Let me first say that I really enjoy playing Bear Trap. The course was in great shape and I enjoy how hoe the course is managed. with the 3 different 9's, it doesn't get boring. But now on to the not so nice part. There were a bunch of knuckleheads out on the course playing loud music and screaming nonstop. I heard they were part of a Bachelor Party. They made the back nine unenjoyable as they were playing side by side from us. There should have been rangers out on the course to curb this inconsiderate behavior. And I heard this from other foursomes. In hindsight, I should have called the Pro Shop and asked them to send someone out to shut it down. It definitely hindered out ability to enjoy our back nine.

This golf course offers 27 holes!
First time playing this golf course and I was impressed. This course is a 27 hole course made up of three 9 holes called Black, Grizzly, And Kodiak. The staff was friendly and helpful from the time we got there to the time we left. The warm up areas were great with a nice driving range, chipping area, and putting green to get you started. The course was a little wet early but once the sun came out everything dried up. The golf course seemed to be maintained pretty well. The snack bar had a nice variety of food and drinks. Only downside was that I wish we had the options to select on GolfNow which 18 holes we were going to be playing. As well as a option on GolfNow to select 27 holes.
This course has great features.
I like having 3 nine hole options. The carts are excellent with easy braking and electric motors. I had my clubs regripped there. I had ordered grips online which they suggested and they did not charge me for regripping.
nice but pricey
There's nothing wrong with this course at all, but it wouldn't be anywhere near so expensive anywhere else but at the shore. I expect to pay half the greens fee at home for a comparable course. The amenities are great: extremely friendly staff, free range balls, well-maintained putting and chipping practice areas. the course itself, however, isn't really better than The Rookery in nearby Milton, which costs about 40% less.
First time at Bear Dunes
My brother in law and I hooked up with two locals
Had a great time
Starter got us out 30 min early
Course was very challenging and in very good condition
Would love to play again when I am in the area
Well conditioned course
Played for 3rd day in row, as good as first day. Player in extreme heat and would suggest some water coolers of bottles. Greens and fairways were pristine
Rata
Good layout with quality conditions. Pace of play could improve but great course for beach resort. Would definitely recommend if staying in area.
Not so hot
Course did not live up to the hype and certainly not worth $110 for a round.
Bethany Beach Bargain
Nice little 27 hole course 2.5 miles from Bethany Beach. I play this course every year I vacation in the area. Conditions are always great. Layout is awesome and can challenge you no matter the handicap (tee location dependent). I enjoy the summer twilight rate drop and would suggest this to most. $65 for this course is a great deal after 3 PM. $119 before that time….not so much. This course is right up there with Bayside and Baywood Greens golf courses and would suggest anyone who can, play all three. Enjoy!
