Bent Creek Golf Village

First there was an additional fee of $2 per person when we showed up even though it was already booked and paid for. Then there was no drinks or food for purchase. Not even water to drink. The fairways and rough was in decent shape but the greens were awful. I will never go back to this place and would advise you to do the same.

It is a nice course and I would play it again for sure. We went early spring so the greens were nothing special but that is to be expected this time of year. One 9 is in the valley, the other in the mountain so it is really like playing 2 different courses which made it quite the enjoyable experience. Booked through Golfnow and the price was great but the clubhouse charged me a $6 environmental fee and when asked what it was for, even the guy in the clubhouse didn't know. I have never been charged an extra fee when booking through Golfnow. I felt it very odd but certainly wasn't going to let 6 bucks ruin my day. I would play this course again when in the area.

It's a decent course. The greens are terrible and that's why I'll probably not go back.

Played this course for the first time. Staff was real friendly and helpful with outlay of course.Course was somewhat challenging due to the creeks. We lost some balls but retrieved twice as many as we lost in the creek.The greens were slow. Don't know what type of grass they use on the greens . Some blemish problems on the green but nothing bad enough to spoil the day. Sand traps guard the greens from the front and some on the sides. Not too many traps on the fairway. We fully enjoyed the round and will return to play again soon.

Has a variety of hills, water and sand. Great elevations and slopes. Conditions were cold and wet but staff was exemt!!!

Enjoyed the variety of hole layouts. Some easy, some difficult, two holes with vertical drops. Friendly staff. Nice carts but watch out for the battery light! If it needs charging, tell them so you won't get stuck!

Very friendly staff on hand to assist with any questions or concerns. We ended up playing 36 holes, and would recommend this course to anyone.

Greens slow and had some bare spots ,nice layout on the back 9.

We were able to play 18 holes in under 3 hours. Not many people playing this course and we usually picked out ball up when we got on the distressed and slow greens.

The scenery was the best part.

Fun course, back nine very fun but a couple of holes need to be changed. Nice walk to #14 tee box, which is made of AstroTurf.

a great layout love the 14 hole where you drive halfway up the mountain and walk up to the top of the mountain to hit your shot on a par 3 the only bad thing wrong was some of the greens had bad places on them and was slow and bumpy

This is a good course to try when you are in Gatlinburg. You will not be disappointed.

If the greens hadn't been in terrible condition this course wouldn't have been too bad. The back nine was very difficult but the scenery was fantastic.

This is a beautiful mountain golf course. Challenging as almost any golf course will be. Cart paths need to be redone, but overall a great course for any golfer.

Played course two years ago and conditions have deteriorated. In particular, the greens look like they have been attacked by some kind of fungus(?) and are patchy and not in good condition. I know they have been aerated but that is not the problem. We heard there is a different management company than the ones that were in charge two years ago. Present management seems over zealous in using cart path only and that made 5+ hour rounds for our foursome on carts.

Fun course to play. It can be challenging if you are not familiar with the course. There are some holes on the back nine that have blind shots on lay ups. Would go back and play again.

We have played at Bent Creek several times, but lately I have noticed some big changes. The staff all the way down to the food. The course was getting pretty beat up in spring, but through the summer I have seen a dramatic change in the conditions. Greens were a little rough, but the pro shop guy explained they had a new greens keeper and he is working very hard on getting them back to great shape. When we arrived at the pro shop, we were greeted with a smile and some light jokes from a big guy (No name badge) working in there. VERY FRIENDLY! He said good morning and welcomed us to the golf course. Rang us up, told us where to go (not knowing we played here quite often) to get carts. My husband forgot his PW and (call him big guy) pro shop attendant let him use his personal PW. Very thoughtful. Cart attendant got us loaded and we went on the play 18 holes. Creekside clerk greeted us and we ate a couple of over-priced but wonderful hot dogs. Gnats were the only complaint, but.....HELLO, WE ARE IN THE MOUNTAINS! What do you expect. Several people have complained about Gnats, but think about it......Mtns....Camping....bug spray. Use your common sense people, stop leaving that at home while on vacation!

I'm from West Tn and the greens there are primarily Bermuda and in perfect condition. This course has a very bad layout but for the money I suppose it was worth it. The greens were not cut well, slow, and burnout. Has really good view if you care more about that than play. But as I scratch golfer i would prefer to play somewhere else.

since my last review the greens have improved immensely.the greens fairways and rough looked great. this course is a joy to play this time of year.

nice course love the layout. flat in the front target golf on the back nine. course has a few issues with greens but overall good condition.
