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.

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 Golf carts are outdated and need to be upgraded badly.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.

Slow back 9

This is this is the 3rd. Time I played the front 9 in an hour and 20 minutes. Get to the back 9 and total stand still. Would be nice if pace of play was enforced by a Marshall or staff. Par 3 tee boxes still need to be re-soded especially the second hole. A great course that I love to play every week .

I really enjoyed to play there although the cart I drove was in bad shape. Some cart paths are so-so but I’ll play it again.

More grass on the tee boxes

I love this course and play it every week. Please resod the tee boxes especially hole # 2. I play the white/silver tees. On the second hole it’s like teeing off in dirt! Golf cart brakes are bad on a lot of them. I’m sure that’s because of high usage because of Covid 19. Other than that a fun challenging course.

Don't Bother for about a month

I had heard the course was closed for repairs so I called and the pro shop confirmed that the course had intended to conduct repairs but was unable to do so and thus was open. I was told the course had been aerated a couple of weeks ago and that no one had complained. Well, the greens were unplayable as the holes were nearly dime-sized and prevented any smooth play. The tee boxes were equally poor with large areas devoid of grass. The course allowed a five-some in the group ahead of us so the pace of play was terrible at nearly five hours. On the back nine we encountered two carts that had broken down in the fairway, one from the five-some ahead of us, further delaying play.

The staff at the course matched the excellent weather with their efforts to provide clean, sanitized carts, and advice about slow play.

Re-opened Today

I always enjoy playing here. The staff is outstanding. I enjoy the course layout. My only negative for today is the greens were recently punched. Putting was difficult but the greens will be good again soon. I’m glad they are back open.

Bent Creek - Jacksonville

This course is a bargain and one of the hidden gems in the Jacksonville area. BUT I have to warn you that it is rather challenging because the fairways are tight. Trees and water come into play on almost every hole. So it requires that you have very good ball control.
