Perfect length for 18

Nice course for 18 holes. Nice layout as not too many obstacles but enough. Cart paths were rough. Course was hit by hurricanes and had a few trees down but course was still very enjoyable!

Best grass I've seen this winter

I play Bent Tree every winter, so I'm fairly familiar with the course. What really stood out to me this year was the grass - fairways were full and the first cut was lush. You could easily slip a wedge under the ball, and chipping was like being up north - not like the bald lies we see at most Florida courses. Greens had just been sanded, so putting was a challenge, but the quality of the turf was great.

We paid $88 (including GolfNow fees, tax, etc), which is reasonable, and considerably less than the carpetbaggers running the Venice golf courses.

We waited quite a bit, but still played in 4:15. Not bad for having to wait. I'd definitely play there again.

Course

The fairways are cut too short there’s very little surface to hit from in several places. Rough alongside each of the ponds with a slope or cut too short… Nothing to stop a ball from running down the hill. Some of the cart paths Need a lot of help.

Not bad, great value

Weather wasn't great the day I played but for the money, it's hard to beat. Not terribly crowded and the course was challenging enough for my level.

Nice layout with overseeded Fairways and greens. Some greens are getting invaded with small grass clumps which need treated before they take over the greens. Bunkers aren't very playable.

Bent Tree: Played twice this week.

Course is wide open and forgiving for those that have errant shots. Hazards are well placed and not unfair to the occasional player.

Several tee boxes (par 3s) need rest. Most other boxes are good to very good .

Fairways are good, but I believe the turf could use a little more length.

Greens are fast.
