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.

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.

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.

Best Value in Jax

Pace is good. Greens are good for the summer except a certain couple of holes. Love the mix of layouts. Short par 4s make it fun and engaging.

Pace of play

Course- great shape. Fun layout

Pace of play was HORRIBLE!!! At one point three groups on same hole. Front nine was good. Back nine almost packed it up and went home. 20 wait every tee box. 15 min wait for 2nd shot. Called into clubhouse. Very friendly. Ranger did nothing to speed up play. 99 degrees to sit and cook for the price we paid was not enjoyable at all! Love this course too bad the pace was so terrible. Makes me question going back.

Pleasantly Surprised

Course is in good shape. Greens roll true and have some pace to them. Grass on all the fairways. A few tee boxes were a bit sketchy but you can tell they have put some work/money back into the course. One of the better deals pricewise in the metroplex.

Horrendous

First off, I looked forward to this course very much after all the positive reviews. I will say the course itself is beautiful, and in good shape. The greens were recently punched so take that as you will. The pace of play is horrendous. As a single golfer, I knew I would play faster than the 3-4 mans out there. It took me 3.5 hours to play 15 holes, and ended up skipping 3 holes due to sitting on the tee box for 10-15 mins every single time. When I made it to Hole 15, there was 4 separate groups playing the same hole. Hole 18, I have balls flying over my head from the tee box while I’m hitting my approach shot. Find another course to play in the Jacksonville area.
