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.

Excellent all round
Great price, course in great condition, fast greens, friendly & helpful proshop/bar/starter staff. Adding to our monthly rotation!
Good day golfing
The tee boxes didn't match the sign yards at all they were longer so it felt different to try and select correct tee box for me, two others moved to tee box next to red, I think that's green but could be wrong , one had GPS golf finder so he kept saying yards are longer
Great job grounds team!
Pace was a little slow. But I took the time to sand divots that other people just left. You can tell the grounds team there have been working their tails off! Course is ready for play!
Course in good shape
Been a while since I played Bent Creek but it's good shape right now. Still a bit of sand on the greens but really not affecting the putts. In a week or two it should be perfect.
Great day of golf
Greens had fresh sand on them but didn't effect game , was a great day
Nice Course
Course is good shape even after top dressing the greens. Give it a couple of weeks and those greens will be really nice and fast. The rest of the course is in pretty fair shape with the exception of a few tee boxes. Give Bent Creek a try you won’t be disappointed.
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.
