No need to shout fore!

Having played another local course the previous day where the condition of the course could only be described as 'poor' it was a real pleasure to play Bent Tree, where there is pride in making the course an enjoyable experience. This was after a week where there had been a hurricane in the area too! Some tees where adjusted, but this was to allow for the restoration of those tees after a long 'season' here in Florida and it was good to see that work was taking place to improve the course in the off season.
Would I play there again? Absolutely, it is a course that I like to play.

Great local course for the money.

Course was wet given recent storms but still a very enjoyable round. Greens were in very nice shape. Overall the course was very healthy other than the water that still needed to soak in. Some temporary tee boxes. Best value in the are for the golfnow rate.

Staff was rude and they charged for a rider when other courses usually don't charge.

More importantly there are no beverages sold here so bring a cooler if you want a beer
