Bent Tree Golf Club

First time playing and it took our twosome 3 hours to get through the front 9 then another hour and a half to get through 10-13. We ended up leaving before 14 because we were behind two other foursomes waiting to tee off. The ranger drove by a few times but didn’t say anything. It was so slow, we were in the fairway when the group behind us tee’d off while we waited for the group on the green to clear.

It was my buddy’s first time playing 18 and I felt bad that he just wanted to leave early because it was so slow. The heat and bugs didn’t help, but that’s not the course’s fault. The pro shop staff was great, but scheduling tee times so close together didn’t make the experience enjoyable.

I haven't played here in a while, the golf course was rough. It maybe because of the weather but other courses , Windy Knoll and if you believe it Royal American was alot better. I will say that the greens were good.

I would never pay full price for this course. I'm a bit bitter, though, because this used to be one of my all-time favorite tracks. They've lost this course almost entirely to the point I think they must be prepared to sell. Almost all the fairways have massive dead spots, and crabgrass is growing everywhere including the fringe. The greens are riddled with ball marks that few people seem to fix. The greens aren't rolling true. The bunkers are all but dirt with a bit of sand somehow mixed in. I watched one of the maintenance crew drive a bunker raking machine through and nothing but dust flew into the air. I felt bad for him. He should've been wearing a mask. Long story shortened: pay $20 or less to play here or it's a waste.

I played here 2 months ago, and I titled my review "Bent Tree is Back!" In that review, I noted that they had obviously put a lot of work into the course, as it was in good condition, but I expressed my concerns about the rumors I'm hearing about it being plowed under and converted to lots for new houses, with one rumor being that they might sell part of the property and keep 9 holes. After yesterday's round, I have to assume that the rumors are true. Many of the holes are in absolutely atrocious shape. The "fairways" are an embarrassment to that word. It does seem as if they're trying to keep working on other holes, as they had recently plowed/plugged/aerated many of the fairways on the back. It would, of course have been nice to have known that, as we wouldn't have spent what we spent to play it had we known. We were also confused when all of the sprinklers came on at exactly 12:00 Noon (on the holes that they are apparently trying to preserve), and we had to drive right through them as we finished our round. This used to be my favorite course in the area, and I was excited to take my son for his first round there, but I'm embarrassed that he paid to play a course in that condition.

Course is in atrocious shape. I don’t think it’s worth $25 per round.

A lot of the fairways were patching or missing grass. Tee boxes not cut. I try to avoid the bunkers but mostly dirt.

I’m used to seeing the course in much better condition.

I haven’t golfed at Bent Tree in many years and I have to say, I am impressed. Tim in the pro shop has excellent customer service skills and communication. The driving range was in great shape. I enjoy warming up on actual grass. The starter was friendly and courteous, the course is pretty great for as much it has rained in recent months, but my absolute favorite was the outdoor bar and grill (19th hole) in the back of the building near 9 & 18th hole.

Amazing course in great condition. Pace of play was excellent, and we were following a men’s league! They were fast! Still, it’s the staff that make this place one of my favorites. Everyone is so nice, which unfortunately seems to be a rarity these days. I highly recommend this course, just don’t take my tee time.

Played Bent Tree on Saturday, the course was in good shape, not great. First of all, the people in the clubhouse and the cart girl (Casey) were great, very friendly.

Regarding the golf course, the yardage is very fair for middle tees. Please cut the grass on the fairways and greens. There was little reward when landing in the fairway since the grass is not trimmed too short. The greens had to be the slowest greens I've played in a couple years. Everybody's putts were coming up short. Also, several greenside bunkers had standing water in them and need some TLC. Some of the fairways had 'burn' areas where there was no grass also. In its current condition, this course is not worth fees > $45.

The greens on this course aren't receptive to any balls rolling onto the green. The majority of the greens are fully protected by rough so your approach shot must come in from the fly.

I doubt I'll be back to this course, too many other course options in the area that are in better condition.

Love coming here. Sucks it rained us out after 13 holes lol

I played this course last Fall, and it was in terrible shape. The fairways were burned out, the tees had not been mowed, and it was a shell of its former self. They have obviously put a bunch of work into it, because it's in excellent shape now! I'm concerned about the rumors I'm hearing about it being plowed under and converted to lots for new houses (one rumor is that they might sell part of the property and keep 9 holes), and I sure hope that doesn't happen, because this is a great course!

Good track, just in tough shape right now. Tee boxes are beat up and just overall, it doesn’t look like it’s in great health.

Greens were nice though!
