Perfect weather and a really nice course

Haven't played this course in years but always liked it. Got rsvp online very easy. Showed up and 3 people behind counter (shift change?) told me new details about course and practice area. Got warmup bucket and went to range. Nice condition and very well marked. Their free app helped with target selection and distance. Chipping area had lots of balls and is nice way to start. Putting green had sand so I went to bunker area green and warmed the putter up. Nice to have choices. Got to first tee and off I went. 74 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Perfect. Course was as I remembered it. Very nice condition. Like everywhere else all the ponds are low because it hasn't rained. The greens were fast and true. Met up with another "single" at 11 and played the rest of the way in. Greens, bunkers, fairways, and tees were in very good shape. I'm already looking forward to playing here again. Have to say that I used their app for scoring and GPS and it worked flawlessly. Checked distances with my laser and found they always checked out. Kudos to the staff and course workers!

Great Day on the course

The course was in great shape, staff was very friendly and welcoming. The pace of play was a little slower than expected. Overall had a great time on the course.

Good course slow pace

Love this course. The fairway was decent and the green and layout is pretty challenging. However the pace of play can be very slow. The starter need to check of people’s pace of play since some people doesn’t know how to keep up with the group in front of them. We had to skip one hole due tot hat. Other than that it is a good golf course.

SLOW!!!!!

This place has a serious pace of play issue. When it was just before my tee time the starter was no where to be found leaving groups to just go out whenever. On most holes there were 4 groups. Two on the tee box, one in the fairway and one on the green. This will be the last time I play here for a while. My suggestion is to play Fleming Island instead as it’s much better managed. Plus the greens are fantastic.

Great layout…

Haven’t played here in years because it was always toooooo slow,took a chance,turned out well.

Still not overly quick but they did have a ranger trying to give golfers a giddyup!

Each hole is different,even though top seeded greens they still rolled really well.

Good day on the links..apart from my golf game.

Beautiful course

Used a golf now hot deal - $25 for 18 holes. Price cannot be beat. Course exceeded my expectations and is comparable to much more expensive courses in the area. Would certainly recommend and will be back again myself. Met some good fellas while playing too.

Bent Creek First Round

The layout was challenging and had some fun variations. The group in front of us was intentionally impacting pace of play & we never saw a marshall or anyone from the staff come around to address the issue. Many tight driving windows, so bring plenty of balls.

Not Worth It!

Played here for the first time ever playing in Florida and was highly disappointed. I arrived and ordered a cheeseburger thinking that is what I would receive, yet when I got my order, I took one bite and instantly had to spit it out! The burger was a microwaved burger that they throw between two buns (Patty looked freezer burnt). I told the girl that if I had known it was a microwavable patty then I wouldn't have ordered the burger. Then when I go to the counter, the older man working the pro shop had an arrogance about him... (most pro shop guys)

The course was fairly decent with fast greens... but there was a lot of pivots on the greens from people not fixing them. The worst part was having to play behind the same people and wait 5-10 minutes before taking each shot because a four stack would not let us pass, they were just taking there sweet time!

Honestly this was one of the worst golfing experiencesni have had and would NOT go back!

Nice place

This place is nice for beginners and the greens are very nice but they need to start working on some of the divots that are on these greens.

But all in all this is places.Okay

Great Value!

Course was in great condition. Firm and healthy greens and fairways. A couple of tee boxes need some attention but otherwise one of the best deals in Jax.

Must Get a Ranger Patrolling This Course

One group brought the course to its knees. This is not the first time, and the problem could be easily improved by having someone’ manage pace of play. Layout and conditions are good.
