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.

Start on 10?
Haven’t played Bent Creek in a while but it is a more difficult course to start on back nine. It’s probably subjective to my game with most water on right side. I seem to score better starting on 1st hole. Overall course in very good shape however pace was a little slow with no rangers.
Pace of play
For the millionth time PLEASE get a Marshall that will enforce the pace of play.
Great Value
Decent greens/fairways for the price. I would definitely play it again. Pace slowed down towards the end. We didn't see the ranger in the back nine.
But the ranger was present in the front, trying his hardest to keep play flowing.
Great course for the money
Had a wonderful round at this course - nice layout and fairly difficult at times
Course conditions are very good tee to green
Layout is a good challenge - be sure to ask anyone you’re playing with if they are a regular - some twists and turns can cost you strokes on this one
Went too book a tee time for Memorial Day and clicked on memorial days tee times went through reservation and it made it the day after
Great time
Course is in great shape. Very friendly people. I was a single and played with 3 members who were much better than me and they made me feel welcomed. Great time playing here. Tough but fun layout.
Happy
Course is in good shape green looks bumpy but putt smooth.
Not good
Greens were a mess. Fairways thin and pa e of play was not good. 11 bucks for a small bucket of range balls. REALLY
Bent Creek is a great course
Very much enjoyed our round of golf. The course was not overly busy which helped tremendously. Too many courses are overbooking leading to very long and frustrating rounds.
The staff is always pleasant and eager to provide a quality experience.
Will return to play again.
Wonderful Course; Friendly staff
Though the staff was working on the course, they were friendly and accommodating. The course was in very good condition. The course was not crowded and the pace of play was good even though we caught up to the group ahead of us who were too busy jaw boning instead of playing. (Sadly, a common experience.) Will play the course again.
Awesome Course
Great layout...In much better condition than a lot of courses right now...Fun track...
Well managed course
My third time playing Bent Creek and each time has been an enjoyable experience. The couse is well maintained and for the money, you cant beat it! Kudos to the staff
