Bent Creek Golf Course

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!!

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).

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!

Having played BC for the last 20 years and also having a great understanding of the difficulties of running a public course, I am happy to report that BC is in great shape for a municipal course here in Jacksonville. The greens were well grassed, smooth, and rolled at a medium speed. The fairways were a little skinny on grass and the tee boxes were fair with the typical challenges on flatness and amount of good grass. Traps were in good shape with plenty of sand. I did have a concern about the lack of merchandise in the Pro Shop, but maybe they were prepping for spring. I would recommend playing BC if you enjoy a challenge.

I played this course two times in the last 3 months. Both times the course and greens were in great condition. The staff were friendly and willing to answer any questions about the course and ammenities. I will definitely be back.

Well first off it was a cold day , played at 12 noon we were the only ones on the course until hole 13, never seen a sole until then , then seen more out there . my wife was just a rider/ score keeper, i shot good in cold course was great, greens smooth, I shot a 94, just couldn’t putt it in, 2 and 3 putt most. but a fun day once the sun come out, parked in sun all day , got coffee half way, course well maintained in winter months.

I played Bent Creek 5 or 6 times in 2024 after the restructured greens, and it took 4 hrs 50 mins to 5.5 hours for every round. I really like the course and would play a lot more but the pace of play is always horrible. It appears they have more first-time golfers than other courses causing a lot of the slow play without course managers riding around to help keep pace of play moving along. I would recommend getting an average time of course play for the average15-20 handicappers and post those time signs along some of the holes. For instance, coming off the 6th green, you could put, Your group should be 1 hour and 40 minutes or less into the round if using a 4 hour and 20 minute round. Also signs galore of “Letting faster players play through”. Thank you.

Course was in ok shape. Greens were fair. Bunkers need attention.

Great layout, conditions and staff! Will definitely add it to the monthly rotation

Golf course is in beautiful condition!

Layout is fun and challenging.

Pace of play was some what slow... Not the courses fault.

I play this course once a week and I'm still excited because of the challenge of the lay out.
