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.

Great Fairways
I really liked this course. The fairways were in excellent shape and it offered some great challenges. The only negative was there was some repair work on about 3 greens. I did not land near the repairs so I was good. I highly recommend this course. Make sure you bring plenty of water and snacks as there was no cart girl.
Well kept
Well maintained course. Best fairways I’ve played in awhile. For $35 on a Thursday morning I’ll definitely be back.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Logan! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back in the future.
Decent
Overall it’s a fair course. Several tough waterways and a decent par 5 cluster. The only downside was they took away all of the water coolers from the course while it’s mid- 90s outside... Not a smart idea. Just add hand sanitizer to each station and bring them back please.

Pace & conditions
Have played this course for years, very slow play on EVERY Sunday. Over 4 hours to play 18, normal pace for our group (playing ready play) is 3-3.5 hours. Seems the Starter and staff could do a better job keeping the groups moving at a steadier pace. Waiting on a tee box for 15 minutes is not good! Alternate groups teeing off your first 2/3 hours between teeing off on 1 & 10 to get your groups moving faster.
The course is not as well manicured as in the past. Hole markers are over grown and fairway markers can’t be found.

Family time
Bent Creek offered a fair price. Course conditions were good. Greens were a little slow with a few small bad spot. The fairways offered plenty of grass. Enjoyed the day with family. Was really hot.

Terrible greens.
Greens and fairways were NOT in good shape at all. Wouldn’t recommend.

The greens need a lot of work, as do their Golf Carts. I think the charges are a little high for the course conditions and cart condition compared to what is available close by.
Keep up the improvements
The greens are faster! But still continue to work on par 3 tee boxes especially hole2. Other than that I enjoy playing here every week!

Fun course
I play here regularly, 9 handicap. It's a challenging course, especially off the tees, and a fun layout. Slicers beware - tight fairways with water, out of bounds, and unforgiving trees. Greens are starting to get in better shape but need to be redone. Some tee boxes need grass. Staff is very friendly and practice facilities are good. Had a pair of TuneUp lessons with the club pro and they were very helpful. Golf carts are outdated and need to be upgraded badly. Pace of play is usually good and keeps me coming back.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our course and wonderful staff. We look forward to having you back in the future.
Thanks for trying
Thanks for trying to fix the par 3 tee boxes, especially number 2 hole. It still needs work other than that I love this course and play it every week. Hate losing balls here!!! Lol
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoy the improvements we are making. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
