Consider sand traps as ground under repair

Good layout but virtually no sand in traps. Facilities tired and need repair. Closed most days

Fu to play

It's a course fun to play, quite forgiving and with great condition. The greens are as good as it gets. Wide fairways so. its not that hard.I I got it on GolfNow for 95$ so wasn't too bad. But 159 regular price is a little high.

Course in good condition. Too long for around

Greens rolled true although slow. Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand traps were hard, probably from recent heavy rains. 4-3/4 hour round a bit too long. Staff very friendly & informative. As with almost all Florida courses, ranger needed to keep pace of play moving along.

Great value!

The layout for the value is outstanding! Not the typical Florida golf course, it’s kinda Michigan/wisconsin without the slope. I have played BT a few time and will play it again soon. Staff is always friendly and available.

Yearly review

I’ve always liked this course, especially when I have a group of average, older players with me. The tees, fairways, and greens were in surprisingly good condition considering the dryness the area has been experiencing lately. The one thing, however, that has bothered me for years about Bent Tree is the condition of the sand traps- muddy, lots of water, hard packed dirty sand. And it’s been that way for years now ! Put some effort into the sand traps and you’ll have a really nice course.

Bunkers need work

Bent tree is reasonable value for money except the traps are raked mud. The clubhouse is in need of repair as shingles are falling off the roof.

The facilities for food and beer have been close the last three times I’ve been.
