Nice Day for Golf

The day started out a little chilly, but got nicer as the day rolled into the afternoon. Course was in great condition & the green look & played great. Greens were very fast with little breaking, were very green & looked great. We started at 0945 and the golfers in front played a t a good pace & no one was behind us. This is the third time I've played this course & have enjoyed it every time.

Great Course, Hardly anybody the day I went so I had all the time in the world and had a great round!

Had a great round with a good buddy who’s new to golf, there wasn’t many people on the course so we all had plenty of time to play and had a really great round. Love the holes and the course is very beginner friendly.

Lots of water

The course is in decent shape. It’s pretty much a target golf course. There is water on most holes. Tee boxes are a bit beat up, but it’s a good value for the money.

Pace of Play

I like Bent Creek, live pretty close so I would consider it my home course. It's exciting that lots of ppl have taken up the game in this pandemic. I like to say I play here on a semi regular basis. This course however is not a short course by any means, typical time is like 4.5ish hours to play so when you over extend the course it takes way longer and that's kinda not fun. Had to wait for a golf cart which then I started late. Then the pace of play did not match the beautiful day that was above. Seems like it also things may get overlooked and be less safe when your trying to pump tee times and carts out.

Good Golf Value

The Bent Creek staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. The economical Golf Now price made our golf experience a fantastic value. Although a shorter course, the course layout was challenging enough from the tips with great site lines from the tees. The greens were a little sticky but in great shape. They have a very adequate driving range with chipping, putting, and bunker practice areas. Definitely go back again.

Fix the tee boxes!

Thanks for the new greens. Can we put the main focus on the tee boxes now? Especially par 3 tee boxes particularly hole number 2! Also me and other golfers has lost balls in the fairways because the drains don’t have covers. I play this course every week so I feel I have the right to make these requests. This course is challenging and be the perfect course to play if you fix the things I mentioned above.

Short but challenging

Enjoyed the round and would return. Didn't realize the pace was slow until we finished. Fairways and greens are in good shape, greens were MUCH slower than the practice green. Some blind shots, several doglegs; having an app is critical to stay out of trouble.
