middle of nowhere

the course was challenging. greens were pretty good. fairways were great. if you have never played their before it would be good to play wih somebody that knows the course.so they can tell you to lay up or go for it. many ditches that go back and forth but don't know the distances to them.i recommend this course great course for the money

Bent Creek Golf Course

Overall the conditions were good on the course except that some of the greens need work, some had bare spots on them, the snacks are very high, $2.99 for a soda (Coke) $4.99 for a hot dog. The back nine requires good placement of the shots or one can get in very bad positions and water hazards.

good challenge, greens need some help

The course itself was very interesting. Many different looks from tees and approach shots.

Greens were fairly slow, I am not sure if it was the recent weather, or time of year, but probably half the speed of average courses.

Clubhouse staff was extremely courteous and helpful.

Fun back nine

Good golf option while in the Smokies! I would't drive a long distance to golf at Bent Creek. The back nine was r favorite and would be more fun the second time played.

The back nine was very fun

The food was a bit over priced 9 dollars for a hotdog and a drink. The course played well. Would play again. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Score card have hints as to how and where to place shots.

Gnats Glaore

The gnats were so bad on the entire course that concentrating on a shot.was impossible. Not an enjoyable day. Besides the gnats--this course has NO drinking water, NO ball washers, NO yard signage at the tees, and greens were in very poor condition. You will be better off to play elsewhere!

Two putt rule

This course is very challenging and enjoyable until you reach the greens. It was like trying to putt on Velcro . They are in really bad shape. It has nice views and some fun holes. In retrospect we got what we paid for.

Poor shape

I wouldn't pay $10 to play this course the greens are horrible the course is covered in fruit flies due to all the duck feces and the food is way too expensive...If you are in the area do yourself a favor and play at Gatlinburg Golf course or Sevierville trust me Bent Creek is a rip off

creekside golf

This golf course could be beautiful and could be a nice golf course. However the greens were / are HORRIBLE!! Greens had been plugged / filled with sand / sprigs of grass growing throughout most all the greens. 2 hot dogs & 3 bottles of pop $23.50 WOW!! Food shack operator told us golfers were paying $16.00 for 18 holes and cart, I guess since we paid thru golf now we were not offered a cheaper price or informed of the plugging of greens. Bent Creek needs ALOT of work!! Best part I had fun out with my two sons on vacation!!

Quite a surprise

This was a nice course at first. The staff was friendly and everyone went out of their way to acknowledge your presence. That was nice. The course was in pretty good shape other than the greens. Some of them were pretty beat up: divots everywhere, dead grass patches, etc. There were also some very unforgiving misses since the creek basically runs through and along the whole course. This is not a problem as that has to do with my personal skill and not the course but I wouldn't recommend taking a friend that only plays about once a month along with you because it will not be enjoyable for them. I got the deal for 16 dollars a person through golf now and would defiantly play the course again for that price.

The greens were in horrible shape

I've played there many times over the years. This was the last. Extremely slow play plus the back is just too difficult unless you have played there before.Took over 4 hours. Greens were terrible and so were the knats. They were everywhere. There are other more enjoyable places to play for the same price.

In need of care

The course has great potential but right now its not but still fun to play. Greens are in bad shape on a third of the holes. The fairways are in good shape. There are several challenging holes. I was told they have a new greens keeper and new equipment. There is hope.

Good course to get away

Pretty good course to get away from all the commercialism in the surrounding area nice views, good fairways and greens. The back nine is definetly worth the time. All in all a nice way to spend 4-5 hours not stuck in traffic.

Played before. Never again

I played this course several years ago and it wasn't bad. It has gone down considerably.
Almost ever green had down patches, the grass around the greens were cut at different levels. The sand traps had not been raked/fluffed in some time.
The mowing staff did a terrible job with weed eating and mowing.the cart paths are really bad.
Don't think I will spend my money on this course again.
