Terrible conditions

Second time playing the course. There won't be a third. The first time ~a month ago we were rudely told to leave on the 14th hole bc they had a scramble event they didn't bother telling us about.

Today, the course was a disaster. Hasn't rained in 2 days but the course doesn't drain properly so there was water and mud everywhere. Many of the tee boxes were covered in leaves (enough that it was clear they haven't been tended to in multiple days. The cart paths are in shambles. It's like an off road course. Great for the back. Stopped keeping score after a few holes and left after 12. Couldn't pay me to golf here again. Plenty of better options in the Michiana area. Disappointing.

Downhill

I play this course every few weeks just because it’s 10 mins from where I live. Played on Saturday and the course was in the worst condition I have ever seen. Fairways had missing grass spots and tee boxes were long. Hard to get on this course for less than $40 on a weekend which is probably why it wasn’t to busy. Rather pay another $10 and go to a way nicer course. I hope this course doesn’t keep going downhill and Elkhart is back to no local courses. Lower the price to $25 during the week or do an early morning special like Juday Creek

Fun round but firm ground

Played an enjoyable round at Bent Oak, but was disappointed in some of the course condition. Areas of fairways were burnt out and hard pan. A number of tee boxes and bunkers were also tore up or needed repair. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and the pace very enjoyable,

Course has turned into a dump

I was shocked at how bad the course has been maintained. Other than the greens, raber keeps their course in better shape lol. The price to play here is insane with the condition of the course. Won’t be coming back anytime soon.

Very nice course

Course was beautiful. Staff, especially the bartender, was friendly and accommodating. However the league players I interacted with were super cunty and rude.

Nicely conditioned course that’s not too difficult but has some tricky holes

Nice weather, good pace, very nice greens, some ‘squishy’ patches in fairways, traps need work and sand ( some still had water in them) . Course has really improved since last year and is a nice place to play.
