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.

This Course has is going downhill
I last played this course about ten years ago, the course was in pretty rough shape, the bunkers were mud holes, the green were missing some grass. The pace of play was slow, found out there was a group of five in front of us, were is the ranger? Will try a different course next time in Columbus
Hit your targets
Solid layout. Nothing intimidating yardage wise but a lot of precision is needed on the approach. You can find yourself with interesting shots if you miss and in some cases hit the green in regulation. Greens have some tricks in them so getting a two putt down is not necessarily routine. Solid shape, great staff, fun course.
Great Value
Staff is friendly, course is in good shape and enjoyed the course.
Bent Tree
Great layout, bunkers are real bad and pace is real slow
Terrific Course
5 stars. Only small complaint is lots of debris on course due to storms but other than that, great experience.
Little Pricey, but fun course
I took my 14 year old son and my 80 year old father in law. The course wasn’t in great condition, but it’s a fun and forgiving track. I think considering the shape of the course, we overpaid for green fees a little, but not enough to keep me from going back in the future.
$35 for walking is too much
The course was in good condition overall. However, there were a few greens with dead grass. The layout is fun to play and there are some tight fairways.
The only bad thing about my experience is that my golf partners and I paid $35 to walk 18 holes. If I would have known that riding carts were not available due to social distancing from COVID19, I would not have paid $35 for walking. I believe the golf course and/or Golfnow should reimburse us for our rounds.
Fun time
We had a good time playing this course. Played on a picture perfect day and could not have been more pleased. Course layout has some easy holes but some challenging ones also.
Poor conditions
The worst conditions I have ever seen this course be in. Fairways had dead spots and greens has a lot of ball marks that made it hard to putt. Off the greens it was very patchy and honestly had to play the ball up most of the day as there was not much grass. Very disappointed after paying 50 bucks for a round.
Fun, difficult, fair track
Had a blast, course was in great shape, for a Saturday morning and perfect weather, pace of play was amazing! Definitely a course you need to play once to get the layout!!
Watch out for the yellow jacket nest on the first hole in the greenside bunker. My club went right into the lip of the bunker on my follow through and right into a yellow jacket nest in the ground on the lip of the bunker. Great course, would have enjoyed it much more if it didnt get lit up on the first hole
Lack of Simple Maintenance
Highly disappointed with the course conditions at Bent Tree. I understand that it hasn't been the best weather this year but simple things like mowing shouldn't go by the wayside. The tee boxes were GOD AWFUL!! They look like they hadn't been cut in more than a week. Had to step down the grass before almost every tee shot. The same goes for the rough. long wispy matted down grass showed me the mowing isn't a priority. The same goes for a lot of the bunkers. They seem to just let more than a few of them go enough that you can seem plenty of deer tracks thru alot of them along with a bunch of others that haven't gotten the care they needed following the rain we've had.Get out there and mow!! Get out there break up hard panned bunkers.
These are things that drive me up a wall for golf courses! There are plenty of things that are out
of your control. Sending the mower out to get the darn tee boxes isn't one of them!!
Great public track despite train wreck staff
Played Bent Tree many times. Almost always in good to great condition with some unique holes. This week’s experience was the worst.
First, took 14 mins simply to check in with the front desk even though I was one of only two golfers in the entire shop. Just sat there while he took 2 phone calls. Retail tip: Deal with the customer trying to give you money standing in front of you instead of prioritizing a phone call.
Second, back nine we’re waiting in the fairway for the green to clear. Maintenance crew starts all the sprinklers in the fairway. No heads up at all. Soaks one guy completely & our entire golf cart was wrecked. Flooded the engine so cart wouldn’t start for a few mins and fried my Garmin GPS sitting in the cup holder. Staff didn’t apologize or acknowledge anything, just continued walking.
Third, it was amateur hour. Not only did a round take 4 hours & 38 mins on a fairly empty golf course, but every green had 2 pins. Regular pin, and another one with larger cups from an earlier outing they just didn’t bother to remove.
