Great course for the money, even in winter staff very friendly.
A Fine day of golf
I just wanted to get out and hit a few balls, but I had a really great time. Weather was in the low 40s, just high enough to be reasonably comfortable. I made my reservation online, and everything was set up for me as I arrived. I got out on the course right away and sailed along. Everything was in fine condition, especially the greens. I don't know what it was, but I never putted so well in my life. It was great.
The course is fair
Played 18 holes on November 23. late in the year, so crowds were not an issue. Course was challenging but fair. however, several fairways were chopped up from people not replacing divots. overall, fair value. would recommend it.
Fall Play
Always a good round at Bear Trap. Fairways in great shape and greens putting fast. Saturday got a little cold but it was still good to be out. Made some fabulous puts and meet two obnoxious women golfers what a laugh. Hope the weather gets warmer so I can play again. Try it out!!!!!
Fun layout
The course is challenging with the dunes lining the fairways. It is a nice layout. Enjoyed my round.
27 holes
great course, 27 holes helps pace of play, our group did not wait on any tee
Fun course, great staff
Very fun course. Pace was a little slow but manageable.
Bear Trap Vacation
Very nice course, The weather was very chilly and windy. Only big problem was finding distant markers
In good shape
The course appeared more difficult than it was during play.
Traps on the Bear
Great course to play even after aeration. Fairways are in great shape. If you can hit it straight you can score on this course but the fairways are narrow at some points and require better shots. Not much water but lots of traps.
Favourite course to play when in Ocean City
This course is always a treat to play! Well maintained, offers a good challenge but you can use your driver here. Not too many dog legs. Never disappoints.
Unremarkable
The layout on the two nines we played was pretty much a bunch of straight holes. Most of the exceptions were holes where fairway cut / bunkers created a little bit of a dogleg. Conditions were generally good, but traps needed work.
if you like a challenge!
had a great day out, wished i had time to play all 27 holes...
one of my favorite course in OC
great semi private course
Great conditions. Most of staff were friendly and attentive. Pace of slow very slow. Saw beer cart at 2nd hole and never again.Would definitely recommend though.
3 Nines
Playing Grizzly then Kodiak was a pleasure. This course is challenging in spots but quirkly throughout. For medium handicap golfer, 14 - 20+, can b very challenging because of lack of course knowledge. Low handicappers should score rather well. Greens in good shape, true and quick
Have fun .... I did.
Nice track
This is a real golf course. Good conditions neat fairways, bunkers in good shape, greens mid-fast probably 10. Funky pin placements though, like almost at the crest of a hill, somewhat challenging if not unfair. Highly recommend . I'm a 7.7 index btw.
Golf course review
Bear Trap Dunes is a very nice course that presents both nice scenery (birds & landscape) and challenging holes. You will play some lengthy holes that offer the hazards of bunkers, traps, water, and undulating greens. The course is well maintained and reasonably priced.
3 Great Nines
27 hole facillity with all 9's equal in challenge and character. We played on a Friday just after noon and early that morning it had down poured. I expected wet conditions. All I got was soft greens that remained quick. Excellant drainage and course conditions. Very scenic. A definite recommendation is in order.
Great Course
Challenging without being too frustrating for a high handicapper like me. Beautiful course, well kept fairways and greens. Staff was very friendly. Great experience.
This course was in great shape and has great character
Extremely good practice facility and course was well worth the money I paid
