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.

Course in good shape
The only minus is no Marshall’s on course to help speed up slow players
Bent creek is back
After a couple off years Bent Creek is back. Course condition is excellent. Greens roll true.
Pretty good for a city course
Greens seemed a little slow
Good course to play
New greens in great shape, fairways and rough were a little wet in places but overall very enjoyable course
New Greens
The new greens are in perfect shape. The course as a whole is playing better than ever.
Bent creek
Generally a good course. Pace is a bit alow. Quite soggy in aome areas.
While coming to 12 there was a single player waiting on the group in front when someone ce along and jumpped in front of him. He started going back and told The young ranger. The ranger mistakenly accused us of.skipping the guy. We explained we just got there and the older gent told us about it and we hadnt skipped anyone. It was resolved as he realized te.people.he was told about were just leaving the green.
Generally no issues there. This time it was a bit annoying to be accused of something when we clearly were not the ones.
Not bad not bad
Golf course in decent shape around couple of greens need some work
Unvalued
Played a round of golf and there was no beverage cart on the course during a very humid day. Ask the associate in the bar about it and she said we don't run beverage cart during a tournament. She was extremely rude when I asked her. Explain to me why that is. People get thirsty all day long. So because of that going on, we went without drinks. I am a paying customer too. Guess I am not a valued customer tho. No ranger on the course to keep pace up to par. I won't be returning anytime soon
Great course
One of my favorite courses in Jax to play, course was in great shape.
10/3/2022 1:03 pm tee time
I have played this course many times. I was impressed with the new greens. While they were moderate speed they were smooth and rolled very nice. The overall course was in great shape and this is a great value. I have booked another tee time for next week with the mens group I play in. I would definitely recommend this course.
Waiting on course management
If course management will put just a little more money in the course you'll be a super great place to play
They could do better
In Jacksonville we have had a lot of rain but still there area where they can do better they had to redo their greens at that time you're using temporary greens they just need to put a little bit more money into the course
