Bent Creek Golf Course
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.

You get what you pay for
I always enjoy my rounds at Bent Creek but don't come expecting a pristine golf course. In all likelihood you'll pay less than $30 to play and the course will not be in great condition. Furthermore since the cost is inexpensive many of the golfers are beginners so you will not have a fast round of golf. BUT if your expectations are tempered you will have a good time as the layout is interesting. Hole#11 and #15 are particularly challenging and worth the price of admission.
First time
Putting could have been better with a mow and blower. Pine straw everywhere and fluffy greens...

Great except the GREENS
I like the course, good layout and somewhat challenging. The only downside was the greens! They must have not been cut or rolled. I never had to hit my putter so hard in my life.

New Years Eve day
Took 4,5 hours to play 18 holes. Waited for 2 groups on each hole.
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back in the future.
Pathetically poor conditions
Greens were the worst I’ve seen in a very long time. Probably a 3 on a stimpmeter, like a mortar field. Fairways were so bad I aimed for the dormant rough instead. I probably wouldn’t play this course again if it were free. Layout started okay but then all the holes looked the same - dogleg tight, water right. The only redeeming quality here was the traps - nice sand.

Christmas round
While cold windy and wet
The course was somewhat rough. Green were slow but had grass growing on them. Limbs and clutter needs to be picked up
Glad we did it on Christmas

Excellent value, awesome staff
The weather looked to be a rain out but we went hoping for the best. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and accommodating.. I made a mistake in the reservation and the staff was quick to work with me to resolve. we lucked out and did not have any rain, but pretty much had the course to ourselves. The rain earlier made the course damp, but still very playable. Very challenging course, with water on most holes and some challenging marsh areas to maneuver. Enjoyed the course and would recommend it highly for the value , challenge and friendly staff!. I will be back.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our course and wonderful staff. We look forward to having you back in the future.
Shaping up nicely
The greens are showing improvement since my last review. They appear to be faster than they are though. Overall the course is in good shape.

Ok
Average course. Great hazard play. Poorly kept greens and fairways for price point.

Good Course
Narrower than most that I've played but that just added to the challenge. Not a consistent paved cart trail but that's me being picky (LOL). Really had a good time on the course. Just been spoiled by places like Eagle Landing, which was the first course that I ever played. However, I will be definitely playing this course again.
