About
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.

Needs work
I had considered Bent Tree a premier public golf course until today. The course is in need of maintenance. Virtually every green had dead spots. There were dried grass clippings all over the course. The tee boxes had a lot of wear. I like the design of the course, you need to use all of you clubs and sometimes you must lay up to avoid a hazard. A little TLC and hard work can make this a premier course again.
Boring and slow
Nice kept course. But slow play and not very challenging for the price

Course Condition
The course is not in very good condition. Some of of the tee boxes are beat to death. Greens and fairways are sub par compared to the way this course has been in the past.

Good course - greens need some attention
The course has a good layout but the greens need some attention as there are areas you can tell might have had a fungus in the past resulting in some areas needing immediate attention. The staff is very nice and welcoming. I would recommend this course but I would make sure the price is right before playing it.

Course has gotten bad
We play this course several times a year and this is the worst shape it’s been in. Back tees not mowed, major dirt areas on majority of greens and weeds growing in fairways. Definitely not worth $62 and a shame they have let it get like this.

Loved it!
This is the first time my husband and I played this course. It’s a challenging course, so I don’t think it’d be very enjoyable for a beginner. You can tell it is really taken care of and we will definitely be back VERY soon!

Needs some love
Disappointed in Bent Tree. Obviously over-booked because they ran out of carts and tee-times off by 45 minutes. Tee boxes were horrible, greens were slow and had all sorts of ball marks and rough patches. Fairways were okay, sand traps were horrible.
Course needs some love fast or it won’t get much play.

Zack (afternoon helper) sucks
Play this course for the first time today, was playing pretty well from the tips. Until the cart died and had to push for to holes 16 and 17. Tried to call the clubhouse, but no answer. I was not the only cart having go to juice issues. The group ahead had the same cart issue. They to got no response when calling the pro shop. To me this is completely inexcusable.
To bad to, it was a great trek. But due to the fact that ZACK din not care and the manager that was called, did not seem to be much more interested in the patron stress. If you plan to play BENT TREE, in Sunbury OH. Think again.
