About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6420 yards
Slope 136
Rating 71.6

Since the opening of Bent Creek Golf Course in 1989, the 6,420-yard, par-71 course has provided a challenging golf experience for residents of Northeast Florida and visitors alike.

Crafted by renowned architect Bobby Weed with consulting services by Mark McCumber, Bent Creek's meandering terrain takes golfers through a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, towering pines and alongside creeks and swales. The championship layout boasts Bermuda grass greens, plush fairways and a state-of-the-art lighted practice facility - home of the Bent Creek Golf Academy.

From the back tees, Bent Creek carries a rating of 71.6 and a slope of 136. The challenge starts with the first hole, which measures 538 yards from the gold tees, just 20 yards short of No. 15, the longest hole on the golf course.

Nice course

This course is a refreshing change compared to most courses in this area. Like the name suggests it's rolling hills so you get elevation changes. There is one par 5 that is very long and challenging.

Not bad conditions considering last time I played

Tees need some work. Grass (rye?) needs to be cut. Made tees slippery even with cleats
