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.

Meh
All the focus to the greens and now the other portions have fallen off. Tee boxes were pretty trashy and mutilated. 5.5 hour round during the week and I walked because the cart path only (was waiting every shot for the group ahead). Overhang in the greenside bunkers. Divots not filled throughout the course, some were quite old. The course really has a lot of potential.
I use Golf Now from time to time for courses in my area
Good way to set up a run the day before and play a good course
The Course is in great shape
I haven't played here in quite a while and the course improvements have worked. The fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Some of the tee boxes need improving but hopefully with the tree trimming that has occurred and spring just being around the corner they will bounce back.
Visiting Jacksonville
Enjoyed playing this course I’m from up north and it’s
nice to play golf in the winter on a course in really good condition. Very friendly staff and reasonable priced.
Previous day heavy rain caused soggy fairways
The fairways were in good condition however kind of soggy in lower spots thanks to heavy rain on previous day. Greens were pretty good overall but as always difficult to read breaks. Some tee areas were in below par condition with little grass. Course is very challenging with a variety of holes to test your entire game.
Worth every penny
First time playing here and would say it’s one of the better courses at this price!! Fairways were in good shape given the rain earlier in the week. The only down side was all the greens are sanded or being worked on. But for the price I’ll go back any day to play. Was a little shorter than expect but very technical so enjoyed playing more situation shot than pure distance.
