Bent Tree Country Club

I accept that some clubs insist on a riders fee for my non playing wife, but to insist on a full paying tee time ??

I got a hot deal for $24, but had to pay a further $34 for my wife to ride with me !! The course was not busy after my tee time, and they had golf buggies in abundance.

The starter was no more than an incredibly officious jobsworth, and I started the round feeling completely ripped off.

As for the course, the tee positions are a disgrace, as are the majority of the bunkers.

The fairways need attention, and the general level of maintenance is very poor.

The course layout is very good and challenging, and the greens are generally in good condition.

I am from the UK and play a lot of golf in the USA.

I last played this course before the pandemic and remember it is a great overall experience with very friendly staff.

This experience was the polar opposite, and it will be my last visit, because there are way too many excellent friendly golf experiences out there.

Avoid !!

The front 9 wqa not kept well.... back 9 looked better. Tee boxes were full of sand( no grass) wasn't impressed

Course was ok..Not in the best of shape but ok / playable .

starter sent me off the back to help me have a faster round and played by myself and was able to hit two balls so staff was great...

Cost was a good deal.....

Practice area limited, but chopping area and putting are were fine

Pace of play was great. Windy conditions made club selection difficult. Greens were in good shape but were very, very slow and needed cutting.. Always a good value and quick pace of play hot summer weekdays.. Fairways are tight and so are green side chipping areas similar to other local courses. Tee areas need TLC..

After the rainy days the course has bounced back. As usual, the greens are wonderful. The tee boxes are starting to come back, as are the fairways. Interesting layout. We finished in 3.0 hours. Can’t ask for better.

Course overbooked tee times and when making the turn had four groups waiting at the tee box. Greens are slow, poor fairway and tee box conditions. Manager stated he could do nothing to help and could request refund online. His business, but yet refers you to a email where I can request a refund knowing good well it will probably get denied. It was the their opportunity to do right by their customer, but instead rather lose a customer.

Fairways were pretty bare in places although greens and approaches were decent. Like many courses here early morning 4 balls really impact on pace of play all day long. Back home some courses don’t allow 4 balls until after 1100hrs and this really keeps pace reasonable throughout the day🏌🏻‍♂️

Nice course with good layout. There has been a bit of a draught in this part of Florida so the fairways are a bit dry. But the greens were in good shape.

Fairways definitely need water. Many dry patches. Many tee boxes need work. Greens are ok. Having a beverage cart on the course is a plus. Heat index 102. Resturant not open.

We were told the golf course was sold some months ago and they’ve put no money into it. The fairways on the front nine were mostly dead. A little better on the back nine. This used to be a really nice place. They’ve lost it… And, they’ve lost us.
