Bent Tree Golf Club
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.

greens- what happened
love the layout, have played here before but it has been several years. Nearly every green was in poor condition. There were maybe 5 greens that had a consistent playing surface. The rest were fried, diseased, or something- hard to believe they were like this with the weather we have had. On the plus side, the tee boxes were great, fairways and rough in good shape, sand traps had a lot of sand in them, almost to the point were it was difficult to get out on a steep slope. cart girl and starter were very friendly,
Can't beat the deal...but the greens were shaggy
I thought the course was in decent shape. I think the staff is doing an above average job keep the grounds in shape. The cost was quite reasonable, and the course paid for it. Meaning - the average patron is not doing their share of player maintenance. Many unfixed ball marks on the greens, unrepaired divots and such. Overall, the course could use a mow. The rough swallowed balls on a clear day (where did they go?), and the greens were unusually slow due to long, shaggy cut. But, a very satisfying experience for the money.
course was in okay shapes. greens were a little burnt out and bumpy.
The staff did a poor job with tee times. They sent groups off 1 and 10 and did not have them spaced out properly. We teed of at 720 and made the turn at 920. There were 5 groups on the 1st hole so we did not play the second nine. This is unacceptable on a Sunday morning. This was not a good experience for our group since my dad, who was visiting for the weekend, did not get to finish our round.
Great challenging course! .
One of the better Central Ohio courses, but still affordable.
well maintained with sand and water.
Pace was excellent. Many bunkers and water. Played the back tees. The rough was long and took some time to find our stray shots. I very much enjoyed the round.
Greens were slow and rough burning out.
Woodland used to be a course worth the drive but no so much any more. It's still a pretty decent course but just a little rough around the edges with burnt out rough, weedy in spots, and slow greens. Removing so many trees make missing the fairway a lot easier but that was kind of the character of this course where you better hit the fairway or you're punching out. I still love the last 6 holes though!
Greens really smooth
Love the course really good shape and challenging the sand traps are little to much like play ground sand for me hard to get a good shot out of then
Grandson Day
My 12-year grandson and I had a wonderful day at Bent Tree. I will note a special recognition of the Starter who protected our time as we made the turn from the back nine to the front nine. Thanks.
Hazardous to your game
This course is great, makes you play within your abilities. Bunkers, ponds, creeks, and tee boxes. You have to play your shots almost precise, with little room for error. All I can say is if you like a nice maintained course that will challenge you....Bentree will do it and more. I look forward to many more rounds there.
Great Course, Slow Weekend Play
Course was excellent but pace of play was way too slow. Waited to hit every shot from hole 4-18, sometimes up to 20min. A lot of it had to do with a goofball in the group in front of us who played extremely slow...people need to learn how to play golf at pace or get off the course..the course needs a ranger to force the issue.
Bent Tree golf club was a visual joy from the entrance to the 19th hole on their patio overlooking the ninth green.
Bent Tree was found to be a formidable course with undulating fairways and greens kept in good condition.The course is not long, but the fairways that were not tree lined had bunkers and water strategically placed so that every shot counted. The sand was a nice fluffy type and well maintained. The water, of course was wet. The #1 handicap hole is well deserving of the ranking. The tee shot must be placed precisely in the middle or right of the fairway at 235 yards. Anywhere else is blocked or wet, then a downhill second shot of about 190 to a green with trouble left and bunkers right. All in all , a gorgeous facility and course combined with a beautiful patio to enjoy after the round.
Very nice course.)
While some holes very challenging, the overall course is forgiving to most players.
Not a good set-up on this course
The set up of the paths around the course is not good. Par 3's are cart path only. A couple of them you park 50-100 yards from the hole and walk. Not a course I will play again
Well maintained fairway and green
Played 4 times already in 2013, Well maintained fairways and greens. Some bunkers are still under construction. Joined 3 somes from Newark, OH. They have played all over Ohio course, it was fun day to play. Will come back for more rounds.
Beautiful course,very friendly staff
The golf course was in beautful shape and the staff is very Friendly, i'll certainly will be back.
Same as it always was!
Played Bent Tree for the first time in about 6 years and it hasn't changed at all. Fairly well maintained, nice greens, good bunkers with a fairly easy/playable layout. Leave the driver at home and practice your short game.
Short and Sweet
Bent Tree Golf Course offers shorter holes where in many instances you are forced to lay up and hit into an array of bunker complexes protecting the greens. Bent Tree is truly a ball placement course where distance is not a premium and that normally fits well into the Sunday hacker's game. The greens themselves where in great shape as where the fairways. I enjoyed the experience of Bent Tree that calls for accurate ball striking and many risk reward opportunities.
Get your bunkers fixed and keep up the nice work!
Really enjoy Bent Tree. Course is usually in nice shape.
Folks (golfers) need to know and understand what level of golf they play as well as those that they golf with so the pace of play stays reasonable.
Bent Tree is truly a great value for what it is.
Bent Tree is a really nice course
Very well maintained. Definitely top 10 in Columbus area.
The greens were slower and more bumpy than usual but we had heavy rain recently. They were still nice though. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. You won't be disappointed.
Plan for a long day and it will be enjoyable.
Very slow. Was told there was a ranger but we never saw them. The twosome with us left after 15 holes the group behind us left after nine. Plan for a full day. The course we enjoyable but didn't expect 5+ hours.
