Par 71
Length 6420 yards
Slope 136
Rating 71.6

Since the opening of Bent Creek Golf Course in 1989, the 6,420-yard, par-71 course has provided a challenging golf experience for residents of Northeast Florida and visitors alike.

Crafted by renowned architect Bobby Weed with consulting services by Mark McCumber, Bent Creek's meandering terrain takes golfers through a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, towering pines and alongside creeks and swales. The championship layout boasts Bermuda grass greens, plush fairways and a state-of-the-art lighted practice facility - home of the Bent Creek Golf Academy.

From the back tees, Bent Creek carries a rating of 71.6 and a slope of 136. The challenge starts with the first hole, which measures 538 yards from the gold tees, just 20 yards short of No. 15, the longest hole on the golf course.

103rd st

the place is in top notch shape, fairways , tees ,& the greens are awesome, they've made an incredible come back, from losing all of there greens. I've always loved this place, plenty of room to play your shots, but get sideways, & good luck getting your ball back. the underbrush is seriously thick. I hope it stays this way.

Hello, Just wanted to follow up and make sure you are reviewing the correct Bent Creek Golf Course in Jacksonville, FL. Your review took us by surprises, because it doesn't fall in line with comments from other guests. Greens and fairways are in excellent shape.

Thank you

Over priced, poor condition.

$58 for a course that is almost falling apart, you have standing water on fairways. Greens covered in sand and decaying. Tee boxes are just a mess. For $58 you could play literally anywhere else.

Surprised at the condition

I had a great time. Greens were a little fast, but in great condition. Tee boxes were about 50%-70%. Pace was 4 hours for 18. I’ll be adding this to my usual rotation of courses!
