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.

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.
Course has great features
The layout of the course was outstanding. The fairways and bunkers were normal easy to play.
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.
enforce pace of play
As long as you don't enforce pace of play and let golfers skip around to different tee boxes this is the review I will keep giving.At this point the only reason I keep playing here is because my golf buddy isn't on GolfNow so I get golf money and points off of him and he loves this course and its close to my house and job.
Good Conditions
Team Bent Creek continues to do an excellent job keeping the course in great condition
Great course
It was a hot week so not many people out past noon. Went out right before noon and had the course to ourselves. Course was in great shape. Greens were very challenging. Always a pleasure playing bent creek
Mediocre at best
Tee boxes are not well maintained. Driving range is unkept, with minimal grass. The course layout is nice, with challenging flag positions. Greens were slow and bumpy. Overall, I wouldn’t consider playing here again.
