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.

Stay in the Fairway!
Great course and mid-week not real busy....we had a 2-some ahead and a 2-some behind - and we were a 2-some. Greens were fair but FAST. Sand traps...I was only in one and unfortunately is was wet sand which ruins the sand experience - not from rain more likely from sprinklers. Fairways were in good. Loads of water and woods on this course so keep it in the fairway. Playing safe leads to lower scores here. Overall, great time, will return.
Course in good shape
The course is in good shape. Backed up on Sunday is the only draw back. Greens and fairways are in great shape. If you are not a precise striker, you could lose a lot of balls in the water hazards. I love the layout.
Great Course!
Just moved to area and decided to play course for the first time. Staff was much friendlier than I was expecting. Shout out to Sal! Course layout was nice with a few challenging hole. Only negative was pace was a little slow causing guys behind us to get a bit antsy. Even hit up on us which was not cool. Other than that great course to play mid day.
Enjoyed round
Front nine real slow… 9 holers left so a bit faster on back
Nice golf coutse
The golf course is very nice and in good shape . The two women’s bathrooms on the course need a lot of work
Favorite Course
We play this course more than any course in Jacksonville. We even play Spark golf here. It is a very tight course so I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner player or someone who doesn't have good control of their ball. It is our go-to course.
Pace of play was very poor today. Foursome in front were each hitting 2-3 balls. They also treated the course poorly, I.e. driving the carts on par 3’s, not filling in divots or raking bunkers, etc and disregarding cart signage by driving carts next to all greens (not a handicapped golfer).
Great Value
Great course and one of my favorite layouts for a neighborhood track. One of the best practice areas around. A few bad spots on the greens and fairways, but they roll true and spring will take care of the rest. The beverage cart service is a plus. My only negative is that I have had two different starters rush me through my warm up. I get to the course an hour early to warm up. They tell me in the pro shop I have plenty of time when I purchase balls. To 5 mins later on the practice tee to have my name yelled across the practice tee that I am up. 20 mins before my tee time. I tell them my tee time and that I still need to warm up and get attitude from the starter. Unprofessional of them and they need training. I do this a lot and this is the only place this happens to me. Otherwise great experience
Very nice course
This was a very nice course. There is some cart path construction that made it somewhat confusing where to go. Some of the rough is bad. Fairways were well maintained. A couple of rough greens but overall we were very satisfied with the course. Would definitely play here again
