Bent Tree Golf Club

This is a very nice country venue that is maintained in decent shape. Most of the holes are not exceptionally long, but if you are not in the fairway the ball tend to sit down making par an unlikely outcome.

Because of the ruff, many bunkers (some of which are very deep), and numerous water hazards, the course is deceptively difficult.

I recommend staying out of those bunkers. The sand is shallow and it's that nasty course river sand which means if you are to far behind the ball you will bounce up and blade it. After doing that you are likely to avoid hitting behind the ball and then catch it thin, which is not good either.

In conclusion - use the 3 or 5 wood off the tee. Keep in the fairway and take an extra club for water and bunker avoidance.

This is a great course in the Columbus area where driving accuracy is preferred over distance. Greens were in great shape for being early in the season and the rough was tall and thick but very well kept. It was definitely a penalty for not being in the fairway off the tee and around the greens. Overall great round and will definitely repeat.

Nice course that was kept in great condition. Even with a ton of rain the night before and beginning of the round the greens stayed fast. Challenging pin placements and easy to end up in a bunker. Overall great course with a great staff

First time playing this course and it was fantastic. PLayed with a beginner and he kept up fine. Highly recomended

Overall it was a decent play and pretty green. The fairways were in great shape but the rough seemed a little longer than usual. The greens were hit and miss regarding condition. Some were great, others needed a lot of help. Every time I play this course the round takes longer than it should. I pre 8am round with three twosome's ahead of us (and we were only a twosome) took over 4.5 hours. Seems to be par for this course. If you have the time, it's a good play.

Staff and fellow golfers were great. Played alone in well under 3 hours cart path only.

For first week of the season, course was in good shape. Short drive from northern suburbs of Columbus.

Beautiful day. Would have been more pleasurable were it not for the exceptionally slow twosome up ahead, who bogged down the whole course. Need to get the ranger out there!

The staff was extremely friendly. Awesome practice facilities. The course layout was fun, yet challenging. The greens were in great condition. I'll be coming here all summer.

I played this course off-season, because I got such a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course, given the fact that I was playing in November. I would definitely recommend this course to a friend.

The starter made a point to state 4-1/2 hour pace of play was stricktly enforced and that a ranger would get on us if we held up the course. We are all handicaps 4-18 so needless to say it wasnt us holding up the course. There was no ranger in sight enforcing this pace of play rule and it took over 2-1/2 hours for the front nine. I think many went home at the turn because back nine was clear in front and behind us. Still over 5 hour round with the VERY slow front nine and fast back nine.

I did see a stack of people starting from the back, which I encountered delays when I reached the turn (10th).

This course is open field with very few trees and the grass around fairway was cut finely. I went to play alone but I did find a father and son team who offered me to play with them. There were lot of nice people. Some of the greens were not in good condition but nice people were surrounded around you.

From the back tees, Bent Tree offered a nice challenge and lots of thought. Sloped fairways, well placed bunkers, and elevated greens create a tricky, but fun round.

Staff is outstanding ! Food area to pro shop , treated like royalty

Only got through 9 holes, then decided to pack it in.
It took 1.5 hours to play 7,8,9.
At times there were 4 groups on the same hole!
Always 3 groups on every hole.
I like the course, but waisted my time.
Is this over booking, or no Ranger?
I believe some of both is to blame.
No deal for discount golf, if you cannot finish.

Nice mix of holes with some water and LOTS of traps. Two couples played in 4 hrs with a noon tee time. Fairways and greens in good shape but starting to dry out (Had several weeks of dry weather) . Needs more watering. Diffic. for mid to high handicappers because of trapped fairways and greens. Can't bounce shots onto greens. Have to hit it high from all distances to get over traps and hold gr. Over all, fun to play.

Bent Tree has long been known as one of the better public tracks in town, but I had never made the drive to check it out. A couple of friends and I finally made the drive last night and were very impressed. The sand was in better condition than Scioto was a few weeks ago. The greens rolled true and would definitely qualify as firm and fast. I hit a 64 into the green on 12, fully expecting it to hit and stop and instead got about 10 feet of roll. The layout of the course is very challenging and there is a great deal of variety to the holes. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Excellent rate for Saturday play. Should've tee'd off about an hour sooner. Only got through 13 holes.

Very nice greens and fairways; play was a little slow due to a shotgun outing for the first 8 holes- then, pace of play opened up.

Some difficult lay up holes such as # 15, a good 5 par. we got a really good golfnow rate here, which is unusual because Bent Tree doesn't discount their fees very often.

Challenging course however the greens need attention.
