Bent Creek Golf Village

This course was probably pretty neat and fun to play in its day. However, it is clear that the ability to keep up with fairway, green, and bunker maintenance is lacking. Very slow greens, in poor shape. It is a fair and sometimes challenging layout. No distance problems playing from the blues. Watch out for #10-13. Precise shots are required. It would be best if you could drive ahead and preview these holes if you have not played the course. At the Golfnow price, it is an OK alternative, but I would be very hard pressed to recommend paying full price. I will try other courses in the area before coming back to this one. Very little clubhouse amenities.

If your in town looking for a interesting layout with horrific course conditions then golf here. Only golf here with a hot deal! Very tight fairways on the back nine. Elevation changes with required lay-ups off the tee on the back. The front is more open but water will come into play a lot from either the tee or 2nd shot. Better options in the area for a little more money but if everywhere else is booked then this course will be open. Never saw more than 3-4 groups golfing the entire weekend. Would not play here again, probably just rather not play if this was my only option! Bring super bug spray!

Played the course a few years back, was in great shape. Played it this week and while it was still fun and the staff was awesome, the course needs some TLC. Tee's, and fairways need help. Lots of spotty tall grasses in the area where you qould expect short fairway grass. Would not pay full price. Played on a hot deal, worth the 15 bucks but not close to the 60 they are asking full boat.

This course will challenge any player.

Really enjoyed this mountain course! Creek comes into play throughout the first nine! Leave your driver in the car on the back nine! Back nine is a treat!! Several short shot making holes!

Played 6/22/2016

Very nice course and friendly staff!

Holes 1-9 are in the "valley". Only complaint was the roads and cars running near the holes. A wayward shot could clip a car. The back nine has several blind shots, and is more scenic. A few layup shots are required. No going for it. The greens are fast and have a lot of break, but very fun to putt on. Kind of pricey, but would definetly play again.

This year we played the back nine; last year, the front. The front is fairly forgiving, but watch out for the back nine. Elevation changes, narrow fairways, mature ball-eating trees. It was great.

This course was not in good condition. The greens were hard and would not hold an approach shot, some were had rough patches, and some had bare spots. The fairway were rough and full of weeds. The course had to many blind shots and no information available to golfers to enable them to make decisions on what club to use.

This course has narrow fairways and a lot of blind shots. Not knowing the course layout will cost you strokes. This was only my second time playing the course the greens not in as good a shape as I remember them they were hard and it was hard to get the ball close.

Good Course for the price. Very challenging and friendly staff. We were camping close by and the didn't make a big deal over dress code.

You must play the and not just bombs away or the course will play you. Fun course

On a weekend golf outing, my friends and I were able to get a pretty decent deal through GolfNow to play at Bent Creek. The clubhouse is somewhat difficult to find. Upon arrival, we were charged with a cart fee and an environmental fee. The front nine was in serious need of maintenance. Most of the greens on the front nine were very patchy and bumpy. The geese and bugs were absolutely unbearable! I have never witnessed an area so infested with bugs in all of my life. The back nine was a pleasant surprise. There were several interesting holes with challenging layouts. However, we were asked to put the carts in for the night, despite the fact that there was still at least an hour and a half of daylight remaining. We only were able to play 15 holes. All things considered, I likely would not recommend this course. The negatives definitely outweighed the positives.

THE GREENS WERE NOT PRESSED, CART PATH ONLY

THE GEESE ON THE FRONT WERE A PROBLEM.

JUST WANTED TO PLAY AS LONG AS WE WERE THERE.

Bent Creek front nine has good length, generous fairways & large, med-fast greens, in good condition. The back nine was completly different-all target golf, with short holes, w/small landing areas & fast, severely sloped greens. Three pins were in impossible spots. If a straight uphill put of ten feet, misses by an inch on either side, then rolls back, off the green....that's a bit extreme. It does have some memorable holes, but making short holes "tricked-up" is not fun golf. Put the back nine pins in realistic spots, & it could be a fun course.

I'm no pro, that's for sure. I lost count of how many balls I lost. The course was in awful shape, the staff made sarcastic comments to me cause I was a lil late for my tee time because of the courses location, and when you finally find the course, the location of the parking for the clubhouse is hard to locate. Fairways were not even fairways. A lot of blind shots cause of the hilly, or mountainous terrain. Just too many negatives for me to comment on. I will not be back and will not recommend this course to anyone.

Gary Player designed with water and hills thru out. Target course, you must be accurate. You will either birdie or double bogey. Risk reward.

Great course for the money. Front nine warms your irons up. You will need then for precise shots on the back. Fun to play and great staff. One of the grounds crew was especially nice. I made sure to look him up to speak on my return round. He made my day. I will play this course everytime I'm in the Gatlinburg area.

try it you'll love it. great time and place.........

I loved the design, bit greens were pretty bad. On the back, we got behind two fivesomes. My wife quit because it was taking so long. The staff was great.

$50/per player to play a course that is wedged into an area that barely has room, including a tee shot hit from artificial turf. Greens were in bad shape, fairways were ok and tee boxes were narrow with back tees placed in terrible orientation to fairways on at least 6 holes. Will not play here again.
