Bent Creek Golf Course

I played this course several years ago and it wasn't bad. It has gone down considerably.
Almost ever green had down patches, the grass around the greens were cut at different levels. The sand traps had not been raked/fluffed in some time.
The mowing staff did a terrible job with weed eating and mowing.the cart paths are really bad.
Don't think I will spend my money on this course again.

We enjoyed our experience at Bent Creek. My wife and two young boys had a great trip . If we get back to Gatlinburg we would golf again

This course is a beautiful view all 18 holes but it had some downsides. The greens were in bad shape, grass clippings looked more like hay ready to be baled, and the cart paths are a mess. Also pack some bug spray. Preferably a lot. The bugs will eat you alive at Bent Creek. I'd also suggest putting away the driver on the back 9.

Friendly staff! We booked a 12:00 tee off time but due to crossing time zones and not knowing which of our clocks were correct, we arrived a half hour late and there was no problem putting us on the course. Course was in good shape-some greens had a little damage and some grass clippings in the rough should have been cleaned up but overall great value for the money. Great placement of tees to accommodate beginner golfers, like myself, intermediate golfers, like my husband, and experienced golfers, like the group behind us.

After reading several reviews of the course I had concerns about the knats and wetness of the course following rain storms. Neither was a problem. We did encounter a few knats on the 1st hole but none on the rest. We did have to be careful with our cart on a few of the front nine fairways but not any worse than we had encountered on some of the courses in VT and NH where we normally play. It has been a wet spring and early summer so it is to be expected. Overall, we had a great time. Lost several balls which is normal for us since this is our first year of playing golf. Other golfers were really friendly. Would play course again if we return to the area.

Great price! Should have known why. Course in very poor shape. Appeared that that the mowers were broke. Grass was very high including the greens. Geese were destroying the greens. Played this in previous years and it was in much better shape. My opinion is close the course or commit to upgrading the facility

The course was very challenging as always but the greens were very slow. Pace of play was slow with several fivesomes and even one sixsome out on the course. There were no marshals out through the entire round and it took two of us 4 1/2 hrs to complete. With a little better management this course could be a much better experience.

Great course friendly staff and overall in pretty decent shape. This course is quite challenging if you never played it but also really fun. I had a great time and will return.

Most of the wholes were fair but if you have not played it you will lose golf balls. Fairway was bumpy and two holes on the back were ridiculous ...you had to hit to an area as a little bigger than a green and then hit your second shot into the real green. Better descriptions of the shot needed would help a lot. The greens were slow.

Many challenging holes, great scenery but most of the greens had bad brown patches.

Average golf course. Good value for the $24 we paid.

Beautiful course! Loved most everything about it. Great scenery and a couple very challenging holes. Neg- some greens were not properly maintained and had burned up patches. Makes it tough to birdie putting it through that. Positive- some great hole setups. You can try driving a couple of the par 4s if you can hit it over 300. Pace of play and staff were amazing!

Our options were limited booking last minute on the 4th of July but we were happy to find Bent Creek. They have the friendliest and most accommodating staff I have seen anywhere. The course though was in the worst shape I have ever seen it. Very shaggy everywhere, greens very slow and spotty with dead patches. Their mover is scalping parts of the greens and killing them. Fairways were very long grass, almost rough length in spots. For the area, it is somewhat higher priced so they will struggle to get players with those conditions. Worth about 20-25 dollars to play but if you can't get it for that, look elsewhere. The staff made up for or with their friendliness ans East Tennessee hospitality.

I still am not sure how to describe the back nine. That is not a golf course..... more like a putt putt course. Would not recommend this course. Many better courses in the area for the price.

The nets were bad. Need bug spray. Slow play. Several groups of 5. Kids playing with parents club.

Course was not wjat we expected. Very disappointed.

Enjoyed the day - gnats were a problem but any day playing golf is a great day!!

Front nine is fairly open, straightforward golf. The creek comes into play on virtually every hole. The back nine is the opposite, Numerous blind shots make local knowledge important. The greens were good, but the fairways and cart paths could use some attention. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We used a Hot Deal and played for $30. I probably wouldn't play it if I had to pay full price.

Bent creek has awesome views and scenery, the pro shop staff was very friendly and helpful. We got to play at our own pace, which was nice! The only negatives were the bugs, bring something with 40% DEET. The greens also had some rough spots and were very bumpy. Didn't look like many people fixed their divots, or that the greens hadn't been rolled lately. The bounce back play price is great also, $20 each round for any round after the first.

Upon arrival I was treated like a friend. the southern hospitality matched the standard that I have learned to expect in Tennessee.
The course was as challenging as it was beautiful.I will definitely return and play again
