Bent Creek Golf Course

The staff is very friendly, unfortunately the course is horrible! The greens, fairways and tee boxes are in horrible conditions. Pace of play is the worst I’ve ever played! There were several 3 cart groups with 6-8 people playing. It took an hour to play 4 holes. The Ranger came around to let us know pace of play should get faster around hole 6 because a tournament had just ended. Well, it didn’t. We tee’d off at 2:00 and didn’t finish until 7:00. It was brutal!! I wouldn’t play here again if it was free.

They had just sanded the course and the recent rains left it very wet

Played here before and enjoyed it. But... on this Friday afternoon the pace was glacial. Two hours and 40 minutes to play the front nine. Our foursome waited on every shot. Painful. Wouldn't have finished before dark, so quit at the turn. Never saw a marshall.

average course nothing spectacular but i enjoyed it everything was fine and it is usually cheap to play at. Will certainly come back

It started out great playing decent round 1st ti.e in 6 months due to health reasons but turned sour at turn because it started pouring rain after teeing off on tenth decent drive off tee but couldn't play through without getting soaked lol. Got raincheck for back nine at clubhouse pro shop staff were really understanding and gave us raincheck for later date. Outstanding and went above and beyond to help someone out.

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.
