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.

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.

The course is in good shape

Second time playing here in 2 weeks and the improvement to the #1 green is noticeable. Grass was not cut as close on this hole as the others but it is understandable as the areas that needed repair grow in. I have nothing negative to report. Fairways and greens are well maintained.

Great value

Got a great deal on Golfnow. Got to course and got right on, ahead of my tee time. Got matched up with 2 gentlemen and I played well. Other than the 1st green, the course was in great condition. The 1st green has been a problem for a while now, but it looks like it has turned the corner and will finally be ok.

Annoying

Had a group behind us hitting their tee shots when my group was less than 100 yards from them. Tee times need to be spaced out more on a more challenging course like this one.

Bent Creek delivers

Even in the face of hurricane effect, Bent Creek is still very playable. Can always depend on Bent Creek to provide good value with its course...

Great 4 hours

The staff is second to none.... the course is in very good shape, considering Iram went through a week and a half ago. As soon as the bunkers are restored, and they are currently playable, the course wil be perfect....
