About
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.

Fun track
Driving from NJ to Tampa. I wanted a course along my route. I was able to snag an early time. Proshop staff were super friendly and gave me some much needed advice about the course. I went out as a single. The foursome in front of me let me play through on the first hole. I was able to stretch my legs and finish the round just over 3 hours. I will definitely put this on my list of I am back on the area.
Good day to play golf slow pace
Everything good but the pace of play had a threesome with two kids held up the golf course for nine hole
Better then it was
We are in a drought here in North Florida, so the water hazards are not as foreboding, which does take away from the look of the course. The tee boxes were a little beat up, but compared to other courses in town, I would say they all are right now. The fairways were in good condition, and the greens were in great condition. They weren’t super fast, but they rolled true and fast enough.
Slow play and lack of course rangers
We have been playing this course for over a dozen years. And over the last for 5 months we have encountered such slow play that it is it makes the outing very bad. We have had to wait at t-boxes for people who are not playing ready golf. And there is no rangers on the course to help those people who are doing slow play to not delay others.
Nice Course
Great value for the money. Greens had sand on them but rolled pure. Tee boxes could use some attention but overall they were fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
I would recommend this to anyone.
Great course
We had an enjoyable round of golf. Course in very nice condition. Will definitely visit again if in Jacksonville again.
Great course with a good selection of holes
Played here a few times,hit and miss with pace of play but usually very slow,especially on the backside as folk for some reason go back to the clubhouse after nine,then come back out.
They definitely need a ranger..we had a four ball of drunk cops holding everyone up,which turned nasty at the end as 4 groups waited for them on the last 5 holes and they couldn’t care less..arrogant!
Perfect Day
Started awesome in the pro shop, with the ranger on course, and finished with the bev cart.
2/7/2026 Bent Creek Golf Outing
Bent Creek continues to provide a great golf experience. As one can expect when providing the right product at the right price, it is very popular. The only hiccups were the availability of carts at tee time which led to a delay. Once on the course, everything went well.
First time playing the course
Conditions were pretty good this time of year. Amazing practice facilities. Will play here again
