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.

Much improved from spring
Course was in good shape. Greens were sanded but rolled true. Fairways were grass covered. Tough layout but fair. Played from black tees at 6k yards..
Great course!
Friendly staff and always a challenge. Pace of play could use some monitoring but otherwise great course.
Great Value
Can’t beat it for the price you pay. Will play anytime. Fun and Challenging and Water Water Water.
Golfnow causing problems
You didn't show where I paid you cause a delay in us playing.
Nothing great about the course
Greens were in decent shape but inconsistent firmness. Fairways had lots of weeds, portions of rough were soggy. I will cut some slack bc of all the recent rain. Cart path needs work as it was very uneven. Most holes had a dirt path after a portion of concrete. 1 of the wooden bridges was unfinished with some construction equipment near the hole, with no signs stating the boards were not fixed in place. Very sketchy. Read multiple reviews stating this was the best public course in Jacksonville, they must have paid for those.
Soggy day
We played Friday, after hurricane, course is in great shape , we had cart path every hole , greens are great , so we'll go back now that storm is gone
Amazing greens
The tee boxes and fairways are in recovery as expected from a summer drought then 15 inches of rain in 12 days but are not terrible. But the greens are in immaculate conditions and some of the toughest I have ever putted on.
Great 18 for the price
Have played multiple times here. Staff always nice. Range is nice and maintained. Chipping and putting aswell. Overall great course to play. Will return
Off the beaten track nice golf course
I come out to Bent Creek about once a month. It's located in the southwest corner of Jacksonville, near Clay County and a drive to get to, but worth the trip. It's not a pristine course in terms of condition but certainly playable. Holes #11 and #15 are great holes worth making the trip to play. Also numerous tee boxes give golfers of all ages and abilities to have a fun day of golf.
Good round
Course in good condition. Evern with all the rain we had. They are working hard to improve everything.
Really nice public track!
Great layout, very nice practice facilities and the golf course is in good shape. I few burned out areas but understandable in all this heat. Greens rolled nicely!
