About Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club

Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club sits about three miles west of Bethany Beach, Delaware, on coastal ground shaped by extensive sand dunes. The course was designed by Rick Jacobson, who routed the holes through the dunes and natural coastal terrain.

The club offers 27 holes, arranged so that the layout suits a range of abilities while still able to host tournament play. An active membership supports a mix of competitive and social group games.
