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.

BentCreekGC
In good condition, working on the greens now. Staff very friendly.
Bent Creek
Overall course layout is good with challenging holes. Tee boxes need work and greens are lightning quick. You cant attempt to hit the green on an apptoach shot as they are so hard they repel the ball onto fringes. If you try to do a bump/run to get on the green, fringes are soft/gmarly and stop/ deflect the ball. Pretty impossible situation. A member we were pkaying with advised all greens would be temporary next week for next 4 months as the course rebuilds all the holes. So wait until fall to try this course.
Wait until next year.
Course is about to undergo green replacement. Greens are bad.
Course is dry and hard.
Pace of play terrible. 5 hour round in middle of day. Beginning players with no course etiquette holding up entire course and no rangers to be found.
Least enjoyable round in a long time.
I’d wait until new greens are established before considering this course.
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.
Excellent
Course iis in good shape. Greens are slower than normal at the moment doe to coming in lush.
Excellent
Course is in good shape. Greens are playing a little on the slow side at the moment.
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 choice
Good course, pace slowed down drastically about 12.
