Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club offers one of the area's most unique and memorable golf experiences on the Eastern Shore and is located in Ocean View, Delaware, just 3 miles west of Bethany Beach. Winding bentgrass fairways are lined with native wetland grasses that drift into stunning sand dunes on this natural golf course. Impeccably groomed oversized greens and four strategically placed sets of tees beckon golfers of every skill level. After just a few minutes at this facility, you will see why these 27 holes of scenic beauty are the locals' favorite.

A former associate of Jack Nicholas, course architect Rick Jacobson has won acclaim for his course designs. In Rick’s own words, “Bear Trap Dunes is visually unique because of its ample use of sand dunes – adhering to the coastal area’s natural terrain. Because of strategically placed dunes, grassy hollows, bunkers and water hazards, players will have to ‘think’ their way through each hole."

Absolutely disgusted. I paid $148 for a mediocre course at best. First off, the help was not nice at all. Second, the course does not provide any water stations, or bathrooms, besides after the turn. Third, for what I paid, I play a course way better and help way nicer, for $65 at home with a cart. I will never be back. Never want to be back. Don’t waste your money here seriously. The only reason it is not a zero star is due to the greens being nice. The carts don’t even provide an electronic screen. You’re telling me this expensive public/private can’t afford better carts? i’m not buying that. Don’t come here.

Solid golf course - Black Bear and Grizzly. Good staff. Not too excited about hitting off mats on the driving range during prime season though. Have to go down to Lighthouse Sound it seems to enjoy a grass tee experience.

Traveling through town on business and was able to book a tee time as a single. From the pro shop to the starter, everyone was professional, polite, and extremely helpful. They treated me as if I was a paying member and answered my questions about the course like they knew me by name. Thanks for a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!
