Great time

Course is in great shape. Very friendly people. I was a single and played with 3 members who were much better than me and they made me feel welcomed. Great time playing here. Tough but fun layout.

Bent Creek is a great course

Very much enjoyed our round of golf. The course was not overly busy which helped tremendously. Too many courses are overbooking leading to very long and frustrating rounds.

The staff is always pleasant and eager to provide a quality experience.

Will return to play again.

Wonderful Course; Friendly staff

Though the staff was working on the course, they were friendly and accommodating. The course was in very good condition. The course was not crowded and the pace of play was good even though we caught up to the group ahead of us who were too busy jaw boning instead of playing. (Sadly, a common experience.) Will play the course again.

Call first

Course was being under maintenance but no warning on here about playing 9 only twice at full price. I am sure in a couple weeks it will be in good shape. Just disappointed no flags on here prior to playing

Good Practice facility, course needs work

Signed up for 18 holes & @ checkin was told the back 9 are closed for aeration & we had to play the front 9 twice. I think that should’ve been mentioned before we bought on GolfNow instead of being told @ the course. Tee boxes & fairways in fair shape, greens in good shape, was hoping for a nicer course based on their practice area.

Awesome greens! Awesome value

Fun course in good shape. I loved the greens they were undulating, challenging, and hard to read, I’m usually a good putter and they gave me a real workout. Great value course. I will definitely play again when I’m in town.

Great course with friendly staff.

Played here for the first time and it’s a super fun course. Lots of rolling hills which makes the course tough but not to tough where I’m losing balls left and right going OB.

First time

First time playing here. The back nine played very slow. Course conditions were ok. Had a lot of sand on the greens. Fairly tight course. Most hole have water on one side and tree trouble on the other. This is a course you need to play a couple times to know where to hit certain shots.

Please enforce the pace of play!

I have been complaining about the pace of play for a long time! This course really needs a marshal that will enforce the pace of play. I was in a foursome playing from 3 different tee boxes and we still had to wait on a twosome i n front of us! These guys were literally waiting for the group ahead of them to leave the green before they would tee off!. they were older guys that couldn't hit far but playing the tee box after the tips!!!!
