Bear Trap Dunes

The course was in great condition. The greens were very nice and good shape. I always enjoy playing on any of the three of nine hole courses.

I enjoyed the course and the couple I played with. after the round I went in to have a glass of wine. I gave the bartender $20 and he proceeded to wait on several other customers and I was getting anxious he was going to forget my change and we were going to have an argument. That's not the way to do it. You take cash you give change back immediately. Anyway, it really upset me.

Course was nice, good layout, fair test of golf. Pace terrible five hours on a weekday. Why have a player assistant/ranger and let that happen. Would play again but I would have to go off before 8 am.

Got a great reduced rate deal to play here.

I’m glad I got this deal because if I payed the full rate, I would have been disappointed.

In my opinion, if you’re going to lay out 200 plus dollars to play a public golf course, it better be pristine.

Tees, fairways and greens were in good shape but I saw quite a few bunkers with weeds growing in them and a lot of them weren’t groomed. There were some thunderstorms in the area the day before I played which resulted in packed wet sand in the bunkers but at 200 a round, I believe they can afford to have a grounds crew that could tend to this.

I would only recommend this course if you can play if for less than $100.00.

Didn’t expect the course, staff & members make our golf experience so grand! Course was in mint condition & we played with a member Kim who couldn’t have been more accommodating & friendly to us. We drove in from St Louis to play in all 50 states. This course in Delaware was such a pleasant jewel & surprise. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to play a great course!

Bear Trap Dunes is an outstanding place to hang out in Southern Delaware! Nice course, great conditions, and very friendly staff! Always enjoyable and challenging to play.

We enjoyed our round immensely despite a constant 20 MPH wind and chilly weather. Courses were in excellent shape (tee boxes, greens, and fairways) with the always present tough rough. Terrific course, polite and enthusiastic staff.

Can't wait to play at Bear Trap Dunes again.

In all my years I have never had this happen. On hole 12 I noticed our cart losing power. By hole 14 it was powerless. I called the clubhouse 3 times and no one answered. I then called the extension to make a tee time and got someone. He unfortunately is not onsite. He called the clubhouse and no one answered. So my partner and I took turns pushing the cart for 5 1/2 holes while trying to finish. This made for a miserable time and messed up a nice round I had going. The was only 4:50pm and because there was trivia or something going on they must have closed early.. When I bought the cart in the folks at cart return were more concerned with cleaning our clubs and getting a tip. I can’t blame them because that is what they are there after all. Despite that big hiccup the course was in great condition and pace of play was nice. I’m sure once the tourists get into town the cost will dramatically increase and I might get maybe another round in before that.

I reached out to the golf shop through the website but have not heard back. Thus this lengthy review!

Very enjoyable course to play. Challenging and full of risk-reward. The staff is very friendly and helpful...Go for the chance to play Bear Trap Dunes.
