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.

Golfer Reviews
Cold day of golf
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.
Time of Play
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.

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.
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..
