Bent Tree Country Club

I wish it was better but, it’s close to home so we’ll spend money there…. Proshop staff was awkward… likely a result of leadership…

When I owned a home is Florida, this was my go-to course because it would close by . First time playing here since Helene and Milton hurricances hit the area. There is still a handful of down trees . Only the 17th fairway was bottlenecked with down trees on eachside of the fairway that made it a more difficult than normal hole. The greens are in great shape. The sand traps were hard and compacted but the Maintenance crew is forgiven as there are other priorities to address first. While it has not rained in a while and the course could have played under the "Scatter Rule" with the golf carts, today and I am sure for the next month or so, the cart play will be "Cart Path" and "Rough" only as they have done a massive over-seeding of the entire course to address wash-out from the storms.

Still recommend.

After playing this course one time, I would not go back. The clubhouse and amenities have not been maintained and the course was in terrible condition. The tee boxes has more weeds than grass and the sand traps had as many weeds as sand.

The course is well layed out and has tons of potential if the grounds could be cared for properly.

The greens were in pretty good shape but the fairways need a lot of work The course had damage from the recent hurricane and it shows. But my biggest complaint is that I had been told by someone at Bent Tree that the bar/restaurant was open everyday from 10:00-3:00. But when we arrived we were told it was not open and hadn't been open in over a year, The course just doesn't seem to get better. It is certainly is not as nice as it was just a few years ago.

Being from Sarasota, you play all sorts of courses. Unfortunately, during "season" a course that cost you 35/round now costs you 70+/round so value is the play here... Bent Tree was in good condition for the price. Some hurricane damage yet to be cleaned up but that's to be expected. Greens were in good shape. Bunkers were not in shape at all however, we did see staff working on them so it's possible this is/was being addressed. Not busy at all so pace of play was great. Clubhouse wasn't open but they did have some tables available to sit at and finish the round at the 19th hole. Overall, would definitely play here again.

Lovely course with a released atmosphere. Played early season so there were no waits or backups. Sandtraps are a bit overgrown but manageable. First time playing here and really enjoyed it. Will return.

Greens and fairways good tee boxes need attention still too much debris and downed trees on course from storm

We like Bent Tree. It’s a quality course layout and a good test of golf. Most recent round found greens in good shape, fairways mainly good and tee boxes and traps generally poor. Still lots of storm debris but it doesn’t interfere with play.
