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.

Temp Greens
Temporary greens s are a little slow but playable had to eyeball and guesstimate for my approach shots
Bent Creek Jacksonville
Absolutely the worst condition I have ever seen in
Worse round ever !
All of the greens were closed. The pins were just randomly put in the fairway wherever looked good. Tee boxes were moved on some holes. Now I know why there was literally nobody else there playing. I feel like they shouldn’t even charge you to play on that course it is so bad. I will not be back. This was in Father’s Day and there was not a single person in the range either.
Need to have cart girl for drinks and water coolers
Working in it
The course has temporary greens making it short right now but the fairways are in pretty good shape right now. The guys were working on the greens while I was there so it is coming. Can’t wait to see this back in full swing.
Course under going greens maintenance for whatever reasons and on a Saturday afternoon the bar and kitchen were closed not to pleased but hey it’s not my course I’m just visiting
Dog track
The kid in the pro shop rambled thru instructions so fast, I had no idea what was going on. The course it’s self was so so, but having 18 false greens, a made up golf hole (par 3), and nobody watching pace of play is just a bad mix. We literally waited over 10 mins to tee off on a par 5!! Got tired of waiting and just left passing the 4some in front of JUST THE 2 of us, only to see NO ONE in front of them. I didn’t expect TPC quality, but did expect some kind of pride.
Interesting
So, playing temp greens are no substitute for actual greens. Surprisingly however, course was still pretty fun to play and was also markedly easier with the shortened distances and modified layout. Course has done a pretty decent job into making something ok out of a crappy condition.
Bait and Switch
Good deal when booked. Arrived at course only to learn ALL 18 greens damaged and they were using temporary greens. We were one of 3 groups on entire course so pace of play was understandably great. Problem was that the info about the greens wasn’t provided on Golf Now and the clubhouse only provided info on one small sign at their door. Should have known there was a problem when I arrived to find only 5 cars in the parking lot in the middle of the day. No wonder Eagle Landing has little to no tee time availability and jacked their prices up by 40%.
Temp greens
All 18 holes have temporary greens, making yardage a guessing game unless you have a flag meter. Fairways in great shape and staff is friendly. When new greens are ready this will be a good challenge.
Bad bad bad greens
After shutting down last year and redoing their green now it's a waste of money I do not recommend anyone playing there actually get it fixed we are getting ready to do temporary green again seem like every year same thing
Usually a great course
We have played this course a number of times before and is typically a busy one. However, this weekend it was wide open and we found out on hole 1 why. The greens were completely bare down to the sand. Had we known beforehand we would have spent the same money on a course with actual greens. There was no warning on the website nor their Facebook page. And on top of that, we paid more for an extra cart when there were at least 30 cleaned and out front (1pm tee time ) with not many people on the afternoon tee sheet! Overall disappointed in a course we normally love.
Greens
It looked like they completely lost the greens and no heads up
Destroyed Greens
All the greens have been completely burned out by someone spraying the wrong chemicals. Sad after they had just been redone, but what's worse is the pro shop staff didn't warn us of the conditions of the greens. They also charged full price. Everyone should stay away from this course for the next year unless you just want to practice drives and approach shots.
Greens are dead
The greens are dead, you are going to putt on the greens without grass essentially, it’s unfortunate because they were just redone and in the best shape I had seen in a long time. Looks like they will have to re-do them again. Overall I really enjoy the layout of this course, it’s a fairly easy play and a fun layout, just beware of the greens until they get it sorted out. Price should reflect conditions.
