Bent Creek Golf Course

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

This is one of the silliest golf courses ever developed. The front 9 plays like a poor public/muni course. Course was shaggy and poorly maintained. The back 9 is one of the most ridiculous layouts you could imagine. Short par 4's with 90 degree turns 150 yard landing areas. Shooting through openings in trees to blind areas. I've never seen anything like it. Most players were older resort residents who shouldn't really even be playing golf. The older 4some behind us had at 1 time 3 groups on the tee box waiting to play. All you could do is shake your head.

I enjoyed this course the creek that runs through the course makes it harder. The knats were bad and made the day less enjoyable but over all I enjoyed the day.

I've played this course many times over the course of about 28 years and although I have always like it, Bent Creek appears to have some issues. Just the facts;
The premises in general needs to be better maintained....fairways were not cut....cups were grown inward, had not been fresh cut in many days....front nine greens had been aerated and had not been cut so verrry slow.....water running across greens 11 and 16....insects were thick buzzing around face....hole 13 trees in opening need to be cut back....in general, needs attention.

Used to be a great course. It has suffered through age. I am hoping Diamond Resort spends money to repair. The signature hole is the 14th hole. It is on top of a mountain ridge where you walk several steps up to hit a shot over tree tops to a small window green. Thank you Gary Player for such a majestic hole.

Beautiful scenery, great weather.if it wasn't for all the bugs and goose feces it would have been great.bring 2 cans of OFF and a clothes pin for your nose cause all I could smell was goose feces

Front nine and back nine are like two different courses. Great course and very good design.
