Speed golf

We were able to play 18 holes in under 3 hours. Not many people playing this course and we usually picked out ball up when we got on the distressed and slow greens.

The scenery was the best part.

Interesting.

Fun course, back nine very fun but a couple of holes need to be changed. Nice walk to #14 tee box, which is made of AstroTurf.

bird eye view

a great layout love the 14 hole where you drive halfway up the mountain and walk up to the top of the mountain to hit your shot on a par 3 the only bad thing wrong was some of the greens had bad places on them and was slow and bumpy

Terrible Greens

If the greens hadn't been in terrible condition this course wouldn't have been too bad. The back nine was very difficult but the scenery was fantastic.

This is a beautiful mountain golf course. Challenging as almost any golf course will be. Cart paths need to be redone, but overall a great course for any golfer.

Very challenging course

Played course two years ago and conditions have deteriorated. In particular, the greens look like they have been attacked by some kind of fungus(?) and are patchy and not in good condition. I know they have been aerated but that is not the problem. We heard there is a different management company than the ones that were in charge two years ago. Present management seems over zealous in using cart path only and that made 5+ hour rounds for our foursome on carts.

Challenging

Fun course to play. It can be challenging if you are not familiar with the course. There are some holes on the back nine that have blind shots on lay ups. Would go back and play again.

Great Course In The Mountains

We have played at Bent Creek several times, but lately I have noticed some big changes. The staff all the way down to the food. The course was getting pretty beat up in spring, but through the summer I have seen a dramatic change in the conditions. Greens were a little rough, but the pro shop guy explained they had a new greens keeper and he is working very hard on getting them back to great shape. When we arrived at the pro shop, we were greeted with a smile and some light jokes from a big guy (No name badge) working in there. VERY FRIENDLY! He said good morning and welcomed us to the golf course. Rang us up, told us where to go (not knowing we played here quite often) to get carts. My husband forgot his PW and (call him big guy) pro shop attendant let him use his personal PW. Very thoughtful. Cart attendant got us loaded and we went on the play 18 holes. Creekside clerk greeted us and we ate a couple of over-priced but wonderful hot dogs. Gnats were the only complaint, but.....HELLO, WE ARE IN THE MOUNTAINS! What do you expect. Several people have complained about Gnats, but think about it......Mtns....Camping....bug spray. Use your common sense people, stop leaving that at home while on vacation!

Greens need work

I'm from West Tn and the greens there are primarily Bermuda and in perfect condition. This course has a very bad layout but for the money I suppose it was worth it. The greens were not cut well, slow, and burnout. Has really good view if you care more about that than play. But as I scratch golfer i would prefer to play somewhere else.

Challenging back 9

This course is great! The front 9 are just a simple warm up for the back 9. Had a huge all beef hot dog at the half in the screened porch grill they have. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Left my wedge on a green and Dave McCowan, (management?) called to let me know he had it and would hold it until I could get back. I really appreciate that. Will be there this week to play again. Can't wait!

middle of nowhere

the course was challenging. greens were pretty good. fairways were great. if you have never played their before it would be good to play wih somebody that knows the course.so they can tell you to lay up or go for it. many ditches that go back and forth but don't know the distances to them.i recommend this course great course for the money

Bent Creek Golf Course

Overall the conditions were good on the course except that some of the greens need work, some had bare spots on them, the snacks are very high, $2.99 for a soda (Coke) $4.99 for a hot dog. The back nine requires good placement of the shots or one can get in very bad positions and water hazards.

good challenge, greens need some help

The course itself was very interesting. Many different looks from tees and approach shots.

Greens were fairly slow, I am not sure if it was the recent weather, or time of year, but probably half the speed of average courses.

Clubhouse staff was extremely courteous and helpful.
