Bent Creek Golf Course

This course was not in good condition. The greens were hard and would not hold an approach shot, some were had rough patches, and some had bare spots. The fairway were rough and full of weeds. The course had to many blind shots and no information available to golfers to enable them to make decisions on what club to use.

This course has narrow fairways and a lot of blind shots. Not knowing the course layout will cost you strokes. This was only my second time playing the course the greens not in as good a shape as I remember them they were hard and it was hard to get the ball close.

Good Course for the price. Very challenging and friendly staff. We were camping close by and the didn't make a big deal over dress code.

You must play the and not just bombs away or the course will play you. Fun course

On a weekend golf outing, my friends and I were able to get a pretty decent deal through GolfNow to play at Bent Creek. The clubhouse is somewhat difficult to find. Upon arrival, we were charged with a cart fee and an environmental fee. The front nine was in serious need of maintenance. Most of the greens on the front nine were very patchy and bumpy. The geese and bugs were absolutely unbearable! I have never witnessed an area so infested with bugs in all of my life. The back nine was a pleasant surprise. There were several interesting holes with challenging layouts. However, we were asked to put the carts in for the night, despite the fact that there was still at least an hour and a half of daylight remaining. We only were able to play 15 holes. All things considered, I likely would not recommend this course. The negatives definitely outweighed the positives.

THE GREENS WERE NOT PRESSED, CART PATH ONLY

THE GEESE ON THE FRONT WERE A PROBLEM.

JUST WANTED TO PLAY AS LONG AS WE WERE THERE.

Bent Creek front nine has good length, generous fairways & large, med-fast greens, in good condition. The back nine was completly different-all target golf, with short holes, w/small landing areas & fast, severely sloped greens. Three pins were in impossible spots. If a straight uphill put of ten feet, misses by an inch on either side, then rolls back, off the green....that's a bit extreme. It does have some memorable holes, but making short holes "tricked-up" is not fun golf. Put the back nine pins in realistic spots, & it could be a fun course.

I'm no pro, that's for sure. I lost count of how many balls I lost. The course was in awful shape, the staff made sarcastic comments to me cause I was a lil late for my tee time because of the courses location, and when you finally find the course, the location of the parking for the clubhouse is hard to locate. Fairways were not even fairways. A lot of blind shots cause of the hilly, or mountainous terrain. Just too many negatives for me to comment on. I will not be back and will not recommend this course to anyone.

Gary Player designed with water and hills thru out. Target course, you must be accurate. You will either birdie or double bogey. Risk reward.

Great course for the money. Front nine warms your irons up. You will need then for precise shots on the back. Fun to play and great staff. One of the grounds crew was especially nice. I made sure to look him up to speak on my return round. He made my day. I will play this course everytime I'm in the Gatlinburg area.

try it you'll love it. great time and place.........

I loved the design, bit greens were pretty bad. On the back, we got behind two fivesomes. My wife quit because it was taking so long. The staff was great.

$50/per player to play a course that is wedged into an area that barely has room, including a tee shot hit from artificial turf. Greens were in bad shape, fairways were ok and tee boxes were narrow with back tees placed in terrible orientation to fairways on at least 6 holes. Will not play here again.

My round of golf was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The course overall is in pretty good shape. However many of the greens are terrible for a couse of this caliber. The back 9 was beautiful and challenging. Would definitely play again.

It was a fine day for golf. Staff were friendly. We scoped it out the night before to make sure we knew where we were going. Signs said no personal coolers and we thought that was okay as we would buy our beer there. Upon check in we found out that they don't have coolers at all. Lucky for us I Had one in my vehicle so all was well. Heading out we discovered poor fairway conditions. The thatch from cutting was left in clumps. Some sort of tiny bugs were every where. As we walked they would fly and swarm around your face. The greens were a mess. Some had puddles from watering, some had crab grass growing up in the green. Greens were a hot mess. It is a challenging course. If you can keep your ball out of the creek you're doing well. We had fun as always.

If you like horrible greens and tee boxes then this is the place for you. The greens need so much love, they don't fix divits. Your ball jumps when you putt. There are almost no tee boxes that are flat. The clubhouse snacks were candy chips and some drinks, nothing else. A snickers was $2. There were many areas with a lot grass clippings. if you are paying much more than $25 for 18 with a cart it's not worth it. We ask played Gatlinburg Municiple Golf Course and it was one of the nicest and challenging courses I've ever played. That course is worth the $45+ you will pay. The front nine reminded me of a junk course you pay $20 for in Ohio and the back nine was more challenging and scenic but with the same issues. This is supposed to be a Gary Player designed course. He would be ashamed.

Course was in decent shape except for the greens but some of that was due to a lot the golfers not bending over to fix their ball marks.

The greens were in terrible shape but some of that is due to jerks not fixing their ball marks. Lots of couples playing who have no concept of pairing up to speed up pace of play.

The front was pretty easy and the back was pretty tough. The little black bugs where aggravating. The back is much shorter, but play much harder then the front.

Enjoyable round of golf, good course set up with great helpful staff. Great value for this style of course.
