Good value for money

Played Bent Tree for the first time this season. It’s in good shape and the pro shop was very friendly. Pace of play a bit slow at 4 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, one of The group behind us hit over our heads twice and were not apologetic about it.

Nice day

Course was busy but the starter and the groups did well keeping up. Bent Tree is a local value course. During season $70 is absurd but not much we can do. Plenty of decent grass in the fairway and around the greens. Greens roll slow and typically leave a big divot when approached. Certain spots get soaked from water systems. Bunkers are unplayable. Great layout, great staff, great day.

Pace of Play Nightmare Enabled By Course

Booked as a single, first time playing here. To my surprise they didn’t pair me up with anybody, which is a mistake. Nobody lets you play through so you wait 15 minutes on every shot. Course should be marshaling this behavior but they don’t care.

A shame that the course allows it because greens were in decent condition. But poor management should prevent anybody from playing here.

Nice team, nice tract

Bent Tree is the closest public club to Siesta Key

Nice staff...

Solid tract...

Greens and fairways in fine shape

Tee boxes continue to need some work... Would be great to see them start a rehabilitation program and start making progress

Fair layout

The course wasn't in bad shape overall BUT the bunkers had little to no sand. Come on guys this area is abundant with sand and you can't get decent sand for your bunkers???

Slow slow slow

Play this course in January and February, both times it was over five hours for a round. They do not have any Rangers to police the pace of play, and overall I don’t think the management really cares. The property is well maintained, management not so much.
