Fun game

Great pace of play, early tee time. First holes are repetitive back and forth, tight, but then more interesting layout from hole 7 on. Some tee boxes were rough, greens good. At my rate, selected morning of, I would play again.

need to fix the teeboxes

Many of the tee-boxes were just sand. Felt like I was standing in a trap. Greens are in good shape.

Concrete fairways

I’ve played Bent Tree several times before, but not recently. I was appalled by how poor course conditions are. The fairways are concrete, sand tee boxes, bunker sand is hard packed, but the greens were ok. Course really suffering from the drought and needs a lot of rain. Rates are lower than most courses, but based upon the conditions, it’s still not a good deal.

Dried out

We played several times earlier this year when the course has some moisture in it and the grass existed in places where it’s now super dry and barren. Not sure why they can’t water more since there’s plenty surrounding most holes. Pray for rain!

Neglected

The one positive, greens are in good condition. Rest of the course is in poor shape. Tee boxes are all sand. Course is dried out. Not worth anywhere near what they are changing now for the round!

First Time Playing

Enjoyable Round of Golf

I thought the course was in great condition with lots of green in the fairways and the greens were in great shape! Course was packed but pace of play was good. They did send off some people in twosome’s which they did appear to wait longer as a foursome such as our group were in front of them. Couldn’t let them play through as there was nowhere for them to go. Would play course again and recommend it to others!!!

Great day!

Had a really fun day playing Bent tree golf club. The greens and fairways were in really nice shape. The tease on most of the holes need to be improved. I really enjoy the layout and the staff are very friendly.

Poor conditions

I’ve played this course numerous times over the years. Yesterday, I witnessed the poorest conditions I have ever even seen at Bent Tree. I realize SW Florida is experiencing a drought. Other courses have been able to deal with it.

I recommend Bent Tree GC

Staff is outstanding.

One of the staff embers will bring a cart to your car, when you arrive in the parking lot.

Fairway conditions good.... some spotty sandy areas,

but very playable.

Greens have a few sandy places, usually near the edges of the greens. We play those areas on the greens, as "GROUND UNDER REAPAIR" and take a legal drop and continue play. I recommend Bent Tree.
