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.

Nice track.

Not busy at all on a Monday afternoon; played as fast as we wanted. Greens look a little splotchy but held shots and rolled true. Rough is vey lush right now. Only complaint is bunkers not well conditioned; firm, moist sand with a lot of clumping and footprints.

Pack your water bottle

Course was in really good shape for being March 23 and the way the climate has not transitioned yet. Greens rolled really well and the course weathered the winter very well. Cups need cut pretty badly as I had 3 -180 roll outs, but once again it is March and the grass hasnt started growing yet, so they can't. Not the courses fault. Not sure how much I'll be playing it in prime season at $57 pop, but always a nice track and they hold some good events throughout the year. Was a very enjoyable $19 round of golf with cart on a 45 degree sunny day.

Early Season at Bent Tree

For early season, the course was in good shape. all the bridges have been repaired so you don't have to worry about your cart falling into the creeks. Speed of play was slow, almost peak season like, but that seems to be always the case at this course. But I had nothing better to do so just relaxed and enjoyed a cool but clear and sunny day.

Gotta love HotDeals

$12 for 18 and a cart. Pace of play was great, an hour and ten minutes to play the front. Course was in great shape and the greens rolled true. Bent Tree is a short course (6600 yds) and I currently play without a Driver, so it fits right now. I play here with my Dad as he is not as long as he used to be. Love this place.

Difficult course for me, very slow play, great layout and environment

Booking was made for the wrong day - 10/15. I intended to book for 10/13. Staff was exceptionally nice and honored my booking on the day we arrived - 10/13.

Course was over-crowded - much more so than usual. Due to extremely slow pace of play and wedding party encroaching do to late finish for the front nine, course issued rain chaecks for us including a 10 hole for discount on return.

Great Lay-out

We caught the cashier on a bad day apparently. It was the only drawback to an otherwise great day of golf. The holes are varied and use sand and water to make it very challenging. You cannot play Texas-golf on any holes. High iron trajectory is a great advantage here. It isn't overly long from the middle tees, but experience is a great advantage working around the course. Big numbers can find you if you aren't paying attention.
