Bent Creek Golf Course

Course is ok. Greens are not in the best shape but ok. They always over book and behind. If you have plenty of time you’ll be ok. Our round lasted 5 1/2 hours. Pace of play very slow. No ranger to keep people moving.

This course is challenging without being too difficult. the course was is very good shape.

I have enjoyed playing this course in the past.

This courses greens are terrible!!! I have never played in a surface this bad and on top of this they placed the pin in spots that made the bad surface even worse. Pace was slow and they put a walked out in the middle of it all The group in front of me had a full hole open most of the round.

Course is really in rough shape. Greens are barely playable. Painted dirt basically.

Lots of area courses in much better shape.

Play this course in the summer and you will be much happier!

Nice course layout that is walkable. However, course was wet and muddy in many areas.

Greens rolled well despite some sort of top dressing.

We left after 9 holes due to pace of play. It was horrific.

However, staff was understanding and allowed us a refund for 9, given 3 were out of towners

The course does not drain well at all. There was mud and tire tracks everywhere. I was somewhat disappointed because I drove from Saint Augustine to play a course I had not played in over 5 years; with the course conditions being poor.

Too many tee times booked close together. Teed off almost an hour late ! No ranger on the course l it’s Christmas Eve so you get a pass on the ranger..

There was an issue of other golfers cutting in front of us on Hole 11 and slowed the pace of

play. This is a fairly common problem at Bent Creek. Multiple complaints typically go unaddressed by the Pro Shop.

There are insufficient and ineffective marshaling on the course.

Once someone pays and goes to theater Box there is no order.

You can have a Tee Time and people just go off whenever they feel like it.

This causes confrontations and verbal/physical altercations.

I am 68 years and have a Champions Card membership. I feel that there is a serious lack of overall management and oversight of play on the course regardless of the day and time of play.

The risk is no longer worth it and after 10 years, I am considering cancelling my membership and playing somewhere else.

Billy Casper Golf really needs to get a handle on what is going on at Bent Creek.

Thank you.

Positives: Nice layout, usually in good condition. Competitive pricing. Nice practice area. Staff is friendly.

Negatives: Pace of play can be poor. Expect a 4.5 to 5 hour round. Late morning tee times can be delayed on M, W, F because of a large men's group that plays regularly. Traffic leaving the course toward 295 is very bad and will cause delays of 10-15 minutes because of heavy congestion

I play this course a lot! Thanks for fixing the tee box on the second hole. Nothing to complain about except change the water in the ball washers. Thanks for mowing down the marshes. Play here every Monday.

At $29.17, greens fees, tax and GolfNow fee, Bent Creek is in the upper half of courses in the area.

Greens were a little uneven but putted very true. Fairways good but hard.

We were a foursome and were trailed by a threesome (we let through), a single (we let through), a twosome (we let through) and a couple of singles (enough with the letting play through - you guys can join up).

Likely won't be back for quite a while, Unfortunately. There are too many other options.

Always have a good time playing here. Ive played nearly every open to public course in and around Jax, and this course is tops with the best of them. Good layout, and always in great shape. Would recommend to anyone.

The course was in great shape. The pace of play was terrible! Stagger your early morning tee times between the grant and back nine! Frustrating to play have to play so slowly

Five in a group! No marshalling

Slow slow play Dont go on weekends

Obviously the course get lots of play. Hats off to course management having it in the current condition.

First time playing Bent Creek, and just as reviews indicate, playing here is really awesome. Every hole feels so different; some holes are “gettable” and some challenging. The perfect weather today really helped enhance the experience, but i’d come back without even thinking twice.

Wonderful course, but it was hot today and the water coolers on the back 9 were empty! No cart girl either.

Pace of play was absolutely terrible. Worst I’ve experienced in Jacksonville. Certain holes were kept up well while others weren’t. Overall not a good experience my first time playing and won’t be back. Plenty of other good courses in the area where your time/experience is valued.

All in all, a very enjoyable day of golf! The staff was as accommodating and friendly as you could possibly ask for and the price was certainly right! The greens were maybe a little inconsistent speed-wise but still rolled nicely throughout. Fairways are in excellent shape! Fun day... can’t wait to go back again soon!
