Bent Creek Golf Course

I'm a 5 hdcp. Shot 79. Played the back tees. Front is flat and straight, back is hilly and target golf. Greens were good bent grass. Bunkers were totally unraked after a night of rain. I played at noon. It's fairly tight all the way around. I only used driver on a few holes. Short, target, 3 shot par 5's. Back has 3 holes that are pure targets. If you miss, a green sized landing area off tees, you lose a ball. Nice design and very traditional look. Good value and cheap after 3. Nice staff. Gave me a rain check credit for a whole 18.

Short but challenging course. Scenic with great greens and fairways. Back nine is more challenging than the front with blind shots and layups. Course was wet due to two days of rain before we played, so it was cart path only.

Loved the views and overall course. Needs to be maintained on the golf cart path....too may potholes and rough terrain. No sand on carts to fill divots.

I've never played a mountain course before.the views from the front nine where of the mountains and creeks and ponds throughout.the back nine was very tough and the coolest layout ever. Almost needed 4 wheel drive carts to navigate the unbelievable terrain. It was such a radical design and I had to play to twice just because I couldn't really get enough of it. I cannot wait to return .

some of the tee boxes needed mowed some greens were average..rough wasnt really tall enough

Course is interesting, particularly the back nine in the hills, several blind shots. The course needs more yardage markers, hard to know your distance to the green. Also needs to have laser reflectors on the pins. Greens were in good shape but slow - not mowed on the morning I played. The greens are challenging to read, with subtle slopes. Bring a ball retriever to retrieve your ball from the river that runs through many holes, sometimes have to hit across it more than once on the same hole. The carts didn't have sand containers, so couldn't repair divots. The cart path has not been repaired in many years.

greens were slow, clubhouse old, no service, fairways and t boxes needed work

We played as a twosome and finished in little more than 3 hours. Great were great but fairways not as well kept.

Nice layout,. Very challengingly and requires some club selection.

Played 2 days after heavy rains and the fairways had not drained/dried (cart path only all 18 which was the reason for the time to play). Front 9 relatively flat. Back 9 like a rollercoaster and challenging. Enjoyed it.

Nice course for the money, front 9 open and the back nine has blind shots and follows a creek

Before purchased by Diamond the course had fallen into disrepair. We played in April 2013 and could see the potential for a cordial if not easy round of golf once Diamond addresses some cart path and grounds issues (relatively minor ones). Given enough time and attention I believe this little course could be quite nice. Until then go with 2 stars in mind as a rating and you won't be disappointed.

I only played 9 holes which was perfect for the time I had to play.

No better setting than the mountains of East Tennessee for a round of golf. Bent Creek offers an incredible view of the mountains and rivers while providing a FUN and challenging round of golf. Well worth the drive.

Even though it is winter the course was in very good shape. We really enjoyed our day.

Friendly staff. Fun course. The creek meanders through the course making it very pretty and challenging for those who have difficulty hitting arching shots. The back nine have beautiful views and calls for accurate shot making. Strongly recommend the course.

I have played this course many times and love it. Offers both open fairways and tight dog legs with rolling hills.

This is a great course for something different. The front 9 is pretty standard as courses go, dog legs, sand, water and gently rolling. The back 9 is a really fun and challenging mountain course with lots of surprises requiring strategy to compete.

I really enjoy the course and recommend it to my friends.

This course is pretty nice,we were there on vacation and wanted to play some MOUNTAIN golf,so my son in law and I booked a round,the front 9 while challenging was a little boring ,but the back 9 was awesome !!!!! We are going back on Sunday to play the back 9 again,,,,,,,,

good holes on front nine. first few holes are very good. back nine is probably more fun to play after 3 or 4 rounds to get used to lay out. all in all a fun course.
