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.

Course conditions
The fairways were horrible very little grass and a lot of wet marshy areas. Greens were very average The course is good for the price they charge which is about $40 for 18 holes.
Great staff, horrible course
The staff is very friendly, unfortunately the course is horrible! The greens, fairways and tee boxes are in horrible conditions. Pace of play is the worst I’ve ever played! There were several 3 cart groups with 6-8 people playing. It took an hour to play 4 holes. The Ranger came around to let us know pace of play should get faster around hole 6 because a tournament had just ended. Well, it didn’t. We tee’d off at 2:00 and didn’t finish until 7:00. It was brutal!! I wouldn’t play here again if it was free.

So Slow
Played here before and enjoyed it. But... on this Friday afternoon the pace was glacial. Two hours and 40 minutes to play the front nine. Our foursome waited on every shot. Painful. Wouldn't have finished before dark, so quit at the turn. Never saw a marshall.
decent value
average course nothing spectacular but i enjoyed it everything was fine and it is usually cheap to play at. Will certainly come back
Great round
It started out great playing decent round 1st ti.e in 6 months due to health reasons but turned sour at turn because it started pouring rain after teeing off on tenth decent drive off tee but couldn't play through without getting soaked lol. Got raincheck for back nine at clubhouse pro shop staff were really understanding and gave us raincheck for later date. Outstanding and went above and beyond to help someone out.
Tough but fair
We had the good fortune of playing with Sammy, who has been playing the course off and on for 15 years. His knowledge was very helpful as there’s a number of blind to semi-blind tee shots, forced carries, and interesting shots to be made.
The conditions were great for this time of year. Greens were a little inconsistent but that may be due to the overcast start of the day at 70*, then getting into the low 80’s with sun midway through the day.
Seems like a course that you’d learn and score better the 2nd- 3rd, etc time playing.
Will be back.
Course plays long. In good shape. Very friendly staff, and good cold drinks at the 19th. Have fun!!
Best secret in West Jax
Proshop Staff, Starter and cart girl all TOP NOTCH! Course layout is challenging, greens are in decent shape, and pace of play was great (4-some under 4 hours).
Great course, especially for the money
I love playing at Bent Creek. They've been doing a great job of keeping the course in shape, even through the winter. The greens have been very good and all the bunkers are consistent. The fairways are in good shape. Best of all, it has a really good practice facility. That isn't super fancy, but has everything you need to practice of the game. I just wish it had a fairway bunker to practice hitting long shots out of!
I forgot to mention in my review how good the bunkers and sand here are. Good call.
