Par 72
Length 6642 yards
Slope 126
Rating 71.9

The lush, rolling terrain occupied by Bent Tree Golf Club was sculpted into one of the most popular championship golf courses in central Ohio. Dennis Griffiths, the course's architect, seamlessly blended the design with the natural features of the landscape. The abundant natural water hazards come into play on half the holes and Griffiths strategically incorporated several well placed bunkers. The terrain's gentle undulations provide some interesting slope in the greens that place a priority on accuracy. Bent Tree Golf Club's par-4 eighth hole is especially demanding. It may be short at only 334 yards but it is surrounded by bunkers on all sides. It is followed by another tricky par 4 that requires both distance and accuracy in order to navigate the tree-lined fairway uphill to an undulating green faced with bunkers to the front and back.

Good but early

I played Bemt Tree early in the season….however I payed around 65 in early April…None of the ball cleaners had water in them and the cart paths are rough….but it was overall fun and the pace of play was great. The greens were good but the crew was a little rough around the edges which I don’t care about but some people might be not expecting the grounds crew to be watching every stroke and sitting right off the green as if they were watching a tournament…I’m not that good but I managed to make it around the course just fine. I thought it was perfect for what it was. A place to play golf, that I’ll look back at and remember there are good mid courses. Not too many great ones.

Bent Tree GC

Decent shape for end of March. Needs some work. No where near the course it could be and was years ago.

Still very challenging with a lot of bunkers which were unplayable conditions.

What a terrible condition the course is in

Greens are spongy and bumpy.

Sand in bunkers... nope... no rakes either..

Not a fan

Staff is amazing, weather was perfect, pace was 4 hours but the layout penalizes you in all the wrong places for all the wrong reasons. 50 rounds in this year, third and last time playing the course…

First Time Playing

Expect to Wait

First time playing and it took our twosome 3 hours to get through the front 9 then another hour and a half to get through 10-13. We ended up leaving before 14 because we were behind two other foursomes waiting to tee off. The ranger drove by a few times but didn’t say anything. It was so slow, we were in the fairway when the group behind us tee’d off while we waited for the group on the green to clear.

It was my buddy’s first time playing 18 and I felt bad that he just wanted to leave early because it was so slow. The heat and bugs didn’t help, but that’s not the course’s fault. The pro shop staff was great, but scheduling tee times so close together didn’t make the experience enjoyable.

Bent Tree

I haven't played here in a while, the golf course was rough. It maybe because of the weather but other courses , Windy Knoll and if you believe it Royal American was alot better. I will say that the greens were good.

Good thing I had Golf Now tee credits...

I would never pay full price for this course. I'm a bit bitter, though, because this used to be one of my all-time favorite tracks. They've lost this course almost entirely to the point I think they must be prepared to sell. Almost all the fairways have massive dead spots, and crabgrass is growing everywhere including the fringe. The greens are riddled with ball marks that few people seem to fix. The greens aren't rolling true. The bunkers are all but dirt with a bit of sand somehow mixed in. I watched one of the maintenance crew drive a bunker raking machine through and nothing but dust flew into the air. I felt bad for him. He should've been wearing a mask. Long story shortened: pay $20 or less to play here or it's a waste.
