Bent Tree Country Club

In order to put in a review I actually read other reviews first… anyone that gives this course 4 or 5 stars does not have a clue about golf courses… I would have to agree with Ecki’s review, place is barely a 1 star rating.. place is not in good shape at all..should completely under go a complete overhaul tee to greens… and redo all greens while they are under overhaul! Sorry but this is an honest review

There is no hope for this golf course. No maintenance, no quality. Very sad experience.

Course was in good shape; especially the greens. Nice layout. Good pace of play. All around a great value.

Our front nine was a great pace, 1 hr 40 minutes. Back nine not so good. Got behind a young foursome that was very slow. No rangers on the course. 2 hr 30 minutes. Not good considering the course wasn’t that busy.

Bent tree has a nice layout without the worry of taking out any windows except on #18.

The course was quiet so completed the round in 3 hours.

The price was fair and in good condition.

I play Bent Tree year round so I have a good feel for seasonal course conditions. The fairways currently are over watered especially around the over seeded green side fairway areas. Any shot landing within 20 yards of many greens will plug deeply in the oversaturated ground so the only way to hit a green without plugging is vr carry distance only.. If you have to pitch or chip you will be doing so from soggy ground on most holes. In general, the course is over watered. The greens were running slower than usual and a bit shaggier than usua but were adequate. The tee grounds always need a little TLC at Bent Tree. Overall, the course is in average shape. Regardless, I like the layout except for the Par 3 15th hole. There were a fair number of hurricane downed trees but the course is making clear progress on their removal.. They have a chipping and pitching practice area but no driving range (just driving nets with free balls) to loosen up before the round. They have a nice practice putting green to . The course offers free iced water at the club house and there are water stations throughout the course. Pace of play was 4 hours and 10 minutes for our 4:-some.and waiting was required for groups ahead, in other words seasonal pace of play for a crowded golf course at this time of year. Staff is always cordial and friendly.. Bring your own GPS or range finder since new carts don't have them. The price to play is very good, again for this time of the season.

The course was in decent shape. The pace of play was horrible.

Good value for afternoon round. Nice, well maintained course.

I have played Bent Tree many times, a course I enjoy. However, I have some grouses this time. The sand traps.. or should I say the mud traps. The course felt over watered and the sand traps were just stodge of wet earth instead of fluffy sand. Now, I think golf demons had been to the course as the yardage markers were gone - usually a post a 150 and a ground marker at 100. I did not see one 150 yard marker and if you don't have a range finder it was difficult to make the correct club selection. I am old school and if there is 150 yard marker I know what club I need based on my position to it. Most tee boxes were good, but there are some that can be described as 'must do better.'

I have played this course around 7 times now and it has always been fun. It’s a nice layout with great greens. The bunkers could use an upgrade, but overall it’s a great value.
