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."

I have played this golf course for past 10+ years and I have always been impressed with the staff. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and makes me feel like I am at my home away from home. This is from the Pro shop staff to the outside staff to upper management. The golf courses are great and are always in pristine condition. Challenging layouts but all 9s provide plenty of birdie opportunities. I shot my career low on Black Bear/Kodiak 30-33 63 -9 last July there with my grandad. Score aside, this has always been a place that I look forward to going each and every year my family and I visit Dewey Beach.

April 10th, 2025. Excellent shape. Lush fairways, even rough and nice firm and true greens.
If only they could have done something about the wind.

Best course around! Wonderful facility with every amenity imaginable. Staff overall were pleasant and accommodating with superb customer service. Only ordered steak and cheese at the bar and it was amazing. All other items on menu looked they would have been great as well.
