Bent Tree Golf Club

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

My group loves this course,, we try to play it 3-4 times each year,, However our first round there this year was a total shock. The normally beautiful lush fairways were sparse,splotchy and appeared to be totally burnt up, and the greens all had numerous un-fixed ball marks. Whether the burnt condition was caused by chemicals or weather, didn't matter , we've played on several " cheap courses" this year that had fairways that were in much better shape. We have cancelled our plans for return trips this year and hope they recover by next year.

From the beginning to the end our day at Bent Tree was great! It started with the surprise of getting one free beer and one free hamburger because we were golfing during the holiday weekend. Well done, Bent Tree Management, well done. The course was in beautiful shape. My dad, dad-in-law, and brother-in-law played a foursome. Never had to wait once at the tee box and never had anybody pushing us.

The starter (decked out in full Michigan gear) was a very fun guy who set the vibe that this was a course to have fun, not some stuck-up you really need to follow the rules or else kind of place. Cart girl was great...she always found us at the right time.

PSA about the course, get ready to play out of the sand. There are bunkers everywhere! Even so, it made for a very fun day of golf.

We will be back.

After seeing the weather forecast for the weekend of Jan 30-31, I knew I had to go out golfing, and since I had heard that Bent Tree was open weather permitting, I couldn't pass up playing this course for $29 with a cart. The course was in excellent shape considering the recent rain/snowmelt, with the only exceptions being the bunkers, but that's beyond the ability of any groundskeepers to do anything about.

I'm not really a fan of the bunkers here to begin with. They seem more like shallow (oftentimes fairly wide# depressions in the earth with a thin layer of sand. Sadly, probably due to budgetary constraints, this seems to be more the rule than the exception at most courses, making it to the point that when I do play a course like Ohio State Scarlet who vigilantly maintain their bunkers, while I'd rather be out of the bunkers than in, I almost feel a bit giddy to be in a bunker that you can actually play proper bunker shots in.

But I digress. Once again, the course was in excellent shape for any time of the year really, better than when we went twice last July. Back then, there were some burned out patches on some of the fairways, but I noticed nothing amiss with the course today. It was definitely a thrill to be able to skip a ball over ice and onto dry land. It's not something I've ever had the chance to do, not playing in cold weather much.

This course has a nice layout, and I've played here many times so I am very familiar with it. I'm so glad they mowed the tall grass that they had between the tees and the water on the par 3 7th for a couple years. That seemed a bit punitive for players who struggle to hit the ball consistently, particularly when it's over water. The pace of play was fine, even if the group in front seemed to take twice as long as they needed to on most of the greens.

I will definitely be back here in the future. I'm just not sure if it will be this year. There are MANY course to play in the area and around the state, if you're the type who likes to have a wide variety of courses on their plate each year. I would highly recommend making this course a part of your regular rotation, as it's never disappointed #except sometimes on the scorecard).

For November 27 in Ohio the day was great. 56 degrees,some wind and the course was in good condition . Leaves were blown from the course and everything was good. Head pro is a great guy.

Nice, well maintained course. Challenging with many traps and some long 3 pars. Windy conditions on our playing date made for some tough shots.

Played Bent Tree the day after some rain. It was cart path only, and the entire course (except the greens) was in need of cutting. Fairway grass very long, and the rough was high with quite a lot of leaves. Greens were if very good shape, and the course was really beautiful. Craig G. is great in the Pro Shop.

Got a Hot a Deal for $19 and couldn't pass it up. Especially since the golf season is about to end. Started just before 3pm after an outing and finished just before dark. Sure wish everyone would play ready-golf instead of thinking they are on the PGA Tour. If that was the case, our foursome would have been done an hour earlier. Overall a good experience and the course was in nice shape. Give Bent Tree a try.

Bare areas in fairways, Tees chewed up.
Greens mostly good.
I expected much better for these prices.
Shooting range or something with sporadic gunfire near 6th hole.

Overall this is a decent course with some unique holes. The conditions were decent but they could do better. Most tee boxes were in rough shape and the ponds was filthy. Other then that it was fun course. The back is fairly difficult with a lot of water to work around.

Bent Tree fairways are in terrible shape. I am not sure what has happened but it started late last year and is going on through this whole summer. It starts on number one and goes all the way through the golf course fairways are in bad shape very disappointed. Our group likes to play the ball down and on this golf course in the fairways especially we played lift clean and place. There were a couple spots in the rough where there was no grass so we might have to play roll them everywhere which is not the way we want to play

Basically paid $20 to play the pace of play was terrible but the course was fun and played tough due to windy conditions.

Can all of you hacks do me a favor and go to the driving range and earn how to hit a ball before you try to play golf? Thanks. We all appreciate it.
Gotta start somewhere I know, just don't start playing in front of me. Thanks again.

Scenic, enjoyable, very well maintained course. I arrived later than I expected and was rushed to make tee time. Check-in was smooth and quick and the starter was great! Very friendly and understanding of my nervous rushed start. That's all pluses for the staff including the groundskeepers. Worth mentioning that a "hot deal" gave me a very reasonable Sunday green fee.
