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.

Stay AWAY!
Overall course conditions are awful! Practice area more dirt than sod. Diseased/burnt out tee boxes, fairways and rough. Rough inconsistent lengths with crab grass crowding out the fringe on half the greens. Sad that this course's conditions are what they are especially with the price they are charging. The head of the ground crew should be replaced ASAP.
Worse shape than expected
It’s been hot with low rain so I get that makes it harder to keep a public course up to par. Just felt the fairways, bunkers and tee boxes were in poor shape for the price point. Greens were solid and staff was friendly. Only other complaint was the starter let a walking single play behind a 2 some and feel that cost the round 20-30 extra minutes instead of those 3 playing together. Hopefully once it starts raining again things can improve.
Missing tee time
I got to the course and they didn't have my tee time in their system, yet I had a confirmation email and reservation confirm from GolfNow. After going back and forth in the proshop, we were rushed on to the teebox and caught up to another two some.
Bday outting
Going to keep it between us but I got taken care of tremendously felt good to be taken care of on my birthday as my mom and dad has passed . Brothers spread out so it was just me and some friends you sir made my day at the front desk!
Fairways are very nice greens are how I prefer them to be . Tee boxes and sand traps did need little assistance. But all in all wonderful experience!
Long afternoon…very long
I know. It’s the weekend, you need to expect it. But it’s not supposed to take the weekend. These courses need to have rangers out aiding the place of play. Also watching groups holding up play when it’s clear they can hit. Excellent layout and greens in good shape. Fairways very patchy.
Really gone downhill
Nice enough people minus the grouchy starter. We tee’d and we’re driving to our second shot by 12:49 on a 12:45 tee time and he was complaining we are late.
Course is just run down. Sand was bad, traps not cared for, tee boxes long and unkept, greens had so many marks that even for a public course, shouldn’t have.
Gave up after 13 holes because there were 3 groups waiting on one hole.
Disappointing when you think this was a top public course in the US at one time.
Disappointment
Was eager to try Bent Tree golf course. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Their starter is quite a character. A+ on their staff.
Pace of play was very slow. Group ahead of us was a five some. There was a large gap between the five some and the group in front of them, and they did not allow us to play through. No rangers to keep pace of play moving.
Course was in pretty rough shape considering how much nicer condition similar courses are in currently. Rough and fairways need work. Traps needed a good raking etc.
Unfortunately, for the cost of a weekend round I’ll be looking elsewhere where there are better courses in the same price range.
Extremely slow pace of play. There was a fivesome
Ahead of us. Course was not well maintained for $63/round. Rough was entirely too long. Fairways were long. Bunkers were not raked/groomed. Overall for the cost I would not recommend.
Great Experience from Pro Shop to 19th Hole
First time on the course. Quick greens, little wet from all the rain we've had lately but in very playable condition given all the weather events we've had the last couple months. What really made the day was the staff. Everyone from the starter, Michigan Jim to the bartenders at the 19th hole really made us feel welcome and just elevated an already good day into a great one. Fun little track with some challenging approaches. This might be the new home for our regular rounds.
Fastest Rounf of My Life
I booked this tee time last minute with an awesome “hot deal” and it was great. Aside from a little sogginess (much less than there could have been, shout-out to the grounds crew) and ponds in bunkers the course was in great shape. I was due to be paired up, but got there early enough to get sent off by myself and was able to play 18 in 3 hours flat. Definitely a favorite local course for me.
