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.

Garbage for the price

I paid 28 dollars for "unlimited golf". 3.5 hours and 9 holes later I'm thinking they oversold what they can actually handle on their course. I checked with the staff and they had no solution, the people that manage this course just have no idea what they're doing but are happy to charge a premium price.

The course itself is average at best. Sand traps were not maintained, trampled in fact with no raking afterwards. The fairway does not drain well at all after a rain, you may as well be hitting off a wet sponge in the fairway. Divots galore. Thistle weed everywhere. Beer is 20 dollars for a 6 pack (a 400% price hike).

This place is a ripoff. Why golf here and pay so much with so many better, less expensive courses in the area? I will not return.

Average, enjoyable course

This would have been a much better rating had the pace of play not been such an issue. As with so many courses these days, course management is SO lacking, along with the etiquette expectations. There was a foursome that was EXTREMELY slow...way beyond most of my slow experiences. They would allow any of the singles or doubles to play through and there wasn't players in front of them for 3 holes!!
Otherwise, the greens and tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were decent. Lots of nice shade and the course is attractive.

Fairways were rough

Played there on a week day afternoon. Pace of play was a little slow with an 18 hole time of just over 4 hours. For a week day afternoon that was troublesome. The fairways were in rough shape on many holes. Greens and bunkers were great

Fun when playing at a discount

Course conditions were great, greens were a little inconsistent but overall good time for all.
In my opinion the regular price is a little too high but at a golf now discount the price is just right.

Thanksgiving Weekend in OHIO

Very difficult to use the "rate the course" offerings considering we're in North-Central OHIO the last weekend of November! The course was in EXCELLENT condition relative to that! It's a very good course, well worth playing anytime they're open.

Still in Good Shape

For this late in the year, Bent Tree is still in good shape. Greens were well maintained and pretty fast. Bunkers still had sand and the fairways were in good shape. We got a great deal on Golf Now ($15). It was a steal at that price.
