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.

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
Bent Creek Needs Work
Well here’s my personal assessment of Bent Creek. - Not worth the drive from Trailmark as the course is not in good condition many tees and greens are in rough shape and way too many Quirky holes for my liking. Personally I played fair on front nine and absolutely horrendous on the back nine. The foursome I was in two of us had never played the course before and the other two had played the course regularly but the other two folks (one man and one woman) played the Red tees while I played the Black. While the cost was reasonable it is not enough to encourage me to play there on a regular basis. Took an hour to get there and an hour and twenty minutes to get home. Just not worth it. I would rather play Eagle Landing and Eagle Harbor.
Bent Creek could be great
Very good, challenging layout. But conditioning was sub-par. Greens were slow and a bit beat up. Tees could use some more grass. Cement cart paths broken up in many places.
Good grass range and chipping/putting practice areas.
Great course for a great price
This course will definitely get you back into the game if you are looking for a fun course with a challenge. Greens are nice and playable same with the fairways can’t wait to play it again!!!
Nice course
Second time playing and was just as enjoyable as the first time
