I played Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club over Mother’s day weekend without picking up a club since playing The Peninsula a few weeks ago. My playing partners wanted to play the back tees today which play 600+ yards further than the usual club (white) tees we usually play. Not expecting to play that well from the longer tees, I shot a round of 92 on a beautiful sunny, calm breezy day. My driving was good, only spraying two tee shots way off line. My short game is coming around, I didn’t blow any approach shots over the green but hit them short of the green. Chipping was average and my putting improved, only two 3 putts and 7 one putts.
FROM THE WEB SITE: 'Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club offers one of the area’s most unique and memorable golf experiences on the Eastern Shore. Winding bent grass fairways lined with native wetland grasses drift into natural sand dunes. Impeccably groomed oversized greens and four strategically placed sets of tees beckon golfers of every skill level.'
COURSE CONDITION: The course was in great shape, the fairways and teeing areas were lush and green. The greens were in excellent shape and rolling super quick, just how I like it.
FACILITIES: Really didn’t utilize the facilities this time around (no time). The chipping and putting greens are adjacent to the driving range.
SHOT OF THE DAY: None really, just a solid day of golf.
SUGGESTIONS and COMMENTS: If you are playing here early, bring drinks and a snack, the refreshment cart starts late.
GOLFNERDNESS: All golfers should know their limits…Back Tees, I don’t think so!
GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT: Keep the ball out of the water and you will score!
