Bent Creek Golf Course

If looking for a great course through the mountains this is the one. The staff was excellent and friendly. Front nine stays wet, but greens we're in excellent condition as well as fairways. The back nine is breathtaking, my favorite course near gatlinburg. Want Miss this course anytime I'm up that way.

Right out of the gate, upon arrival Pro Shop decides to charge a 16$ Rider fee. Which is on top of my already paid booking/Green Fee. This is totally absurd and they were nasty about it. I was a single and not paired, that seat was open anyway and she didn't get her own cart. Course itself was fun, but badly in need of Maintenance and NOT worthy of steep fee they charge. There was a sewage/dead animal smell that permeated the front 9. Back 9 totally different and #11 is totally unfair to anyone over a 2 HNCP. But otherwise enjoyable. There was a fungus on some greens and they were Bent Grass slow. Not sure I would return, maybe they only want a 1 time play, it sure seems like it. DO BRING PLENTY of balls, although you will probably find double what you lose, I did.

This course has a good layout but everything this lots of work, from the pro shop to the fairways, to the greens.

The wife and I had a great time there, well worth the price

The course was challenging having never played there before. Holes were not that long but there were blind holes where we had no idea what to hit or where to hit. The score card did however give good advise about what to expect on each hole.
Can't wait to play again but probably months from now and expect to do much better. Lost lots of balls, my wife mostly, water everywhere. Great views of mountains around. With golf now we got a hot deal and only paid $40 total for both of us.
At the end of the round ask for discount on next round and you can play for $20 each.
Wonderful experience!!!

Read the notes on the scorecard. Many of the holes have drivable hazards. It is a players course if you take what the course will give you. Take plenty of balls if you don't heed my advice.

course was wet so cart path only. Not in very good shape. Greens very slow. Back nine much better than front. More interesting and more scenic. Weak good price so worth money but not worth regular rate.

It was worth the price we paid thru Golf Now but not the 40 bucks we would have paid. Greens are terrible. Way to much Po??? Staff was super friendly Though.

This was my first outing at the Bent Creek course and I enjoyed the experience. There had been alot of rain leading up to our golf date. The greens were in need of grooming in my opinion. Staff were courteous. I would play here again. Hole #11 was one of the most challenging I have ever played.

I was hoping to play a round of golf in March, having endured a very cold winter in NE Ohio. Staying in Gatlinburg and not wanting to go far to play, I found Bent Creek to be a terrific course, great views, great value, and super condition for this time of year. The staff of one fine young man was very accommodating and paired with me two older gents with local knowledge. Needless to say, i enjoyed golfing in the Smokies!

Greens are in very poor condition from winter, bumpy and devoid of grass in many spots. All grass is still dormant. Front nine crosses over a busy road several times, esp from back tees. Smallest track of land for nine holes I have ever played. Back nine is more interesting but funky. Forced layups due to blind shots. Stayed on property but wouldn't play it again in this condition.

This early in the season, Course was in fair condition, but I suspect it will get better as summer approaches. Fairways were wet/soft and greens were slow. Front 9 was more flat and open, with back 9 more hilly and more blind shots (course knowledge/management a plus!). Overall a fun course to play.

Played on a really wet day so fairways were swampy. Greens were a little rough of the front side, but the views on the back 9 made up for it. Workers were really helpful and friendly. Would play this course again on a dryer day. Front was really open and back tightened up a bit. Overall decent course for the money I paid.

First there was an additional fee of $2 per person when we showed up even though it was already booked and paid for. Then there was no drinks or food for purchase. Not even water to drink. The fairways and rough was in decent shape but the greens were awful. I will never go back to this place and would advise you to do the same.

It is a nice course and I would play it again for sure. We went early spring so the greens were nothing special but that is to be expected this time of year. One 9 is in the valley, the other in the mountain so it is really like playing 2 different courses which made it quite the enjoyable experience. Booked through Golfnow and the price was great but the clubhouse charged me a $6 environmental fee and when asked what it was for, even the guy in the clubhouse didn't know. I have never been charged an extra fee when booking through Golfnow. I felt it very odd but certainly wasn't going to let 6 bucks ruin my day. I would play this course again when in the area.

It's a decent course. The greens are terrible and that's why I'll probably not go back.

Played this course for the first time. Staff was real friendly and helpful with outlay of course.Course was somewhat challenging due to the creeks. We lost some balls but retrieved twice as many as we lost in the creek.The greens were slow. Don't know what type of grass they use on the greens . Some blemish problems on the green but nothing bad enough to spoil the day. Sand traps guard the greens from the front and some on the sides. Not too many traps on the fairway. We fully enjoyed the round and will return to play again soon.

Has a variety of hills, water and sand. Great elevations and slopes. Conditions were cold and wet but staff was exemt!!!

Enjoyed the variety of hole layouts. Some easy, some difficult, two holes with vertical drops. Friendly staff. Nice carts but watch out for the battery light! If it needs charging, tell them so you won't get stuck!

Very friendly staff on hand to assist with any questions or concerns. We ended up playing 36 holes, and would recommend this course to anyone.
