Pat&Jackie return

Great to be back at our long-time favorite course. Good to know that Colin and crew are still keeping Bent Creek in great shape—so much fun to play!

Thanks for your friendly hospitality also!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE

complete waste of time and money they dont have a range or anyone checking on pace of play took us 2 hours and 25 minutes to play 9 holes and then wait on the 10th tee box behind a 8 cart group that wouldnt allow anyone to play through ,crabgrass on every green, roughs are like some cheap yard grass that isnt maintained at the 2 women in the pro shop just poor attitudes shouldnt be involved in this shop youd be better off saving your money and buying a round of putt putt than play here

Do not play

This course is so packed and horribly maintained. They have no rangers to control pace of play. There was an 8 man tee time in front of us that refused to let anyone play through, the pro staff wouldn’t send anyone out to speed them up. Even though tee times are 9 minutes apart we waited at least 10 minutes per tee box. Took 2 hours to play 7 holes. We left at the 8th tee box after waiting almost 20 minutes. Unless you like to wait or drive into people do not play here. It is not worth the money. On top of everything pro staff was rude and there is no range anywhere other than some poorly maintained putting green

Nice layout, tiny slow greens

Cool little layout and a short course. Greens were in poor shape and rolled like putting on the fringe. Ruined the enjoyment of the round when you can’t make a putt.

Fun and challenging course.

The course is layed out well with great views of the rolling hills and a good amount of water (creek and ponds). Front nine was easier than the back. The back is in more in the mountains and has multiple blind shots. Lots of fun. Highly recommend. No driving range, just putting green. I would say a cart is a must, especially on the back 9.

Great staff

Everyone I encountered at Bent Creek was an example of hospitality. Friendly and helpful!

The course was saturated with rain, so conditions were not ideal. It’s a tough course with blind shots and narrow shot lanes. I loved the site, with trees over the cart paths and beautiful steams along side.

Front 9 is some great views and good challenge holes.

Back 9, strap in for some target golf. Super fun

Wow! Great Course

I really enjoyed my round here. The front 9 was conventional, and the back 9 was, in the words of the Marshall, a ‘mountain course’. This meant on several holes you couldn’t see the green, only the 150 yard marker. The course was in great shape. The water challenges were from a running stream.

Beautiful setting in the Smokies. Great value - I’d definitely play here again.

Bent Creek GC

Was sold on it due to Player design. Solid layout. Back 9 was a bit more target golf. Good views. Greens were slow. Round was $60. Good value.

Tough

Very nice course. Just be ready for trouble. Streams and bunkers will harass you throughout your round. You have to be precise on some holes or it is disaster.
