About
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.

For a public course this one is the real deal. Get out and play it you will not be disappointed.
Good value
My course had a tournament being held there. Me and my friends decided to try a course we never played before. The track was great. Tee boxes and fairways could use a little love. Greens are slow but true. Friendly staff. Great practice facility which was lit up. We played at 7:30. So having light on range was nice
The greens are in great shape. Great value for the money paid.
The greens and fairways are in great condition. A few tee boxes are a little rough but I can live with that. Keep up the great work!
Our Tournament Course
This course is in Great Shape, Carts are New, Staff is Fantastic. Our Forty Plus Golf League has been playing this course on Sundays and it is ALWAYS ENJOYABLE!!
nice layout
course in good shape they got a lot of rain fairways had a lot of dried grass didn't blow off greens are good must of punched holes two weeks ago heeling up great.
dr.
The conditions are fair or abobe and the pace was also good.
Enjoyed a round of golf. I will come again to play with my golf body
Greens Punched
FYI the greens were recently punched and are healing nicely but the ball will take it's own path near the hole. The course conditions are good overall.
Rough conditions
Not the friendliest staff, tee boxes were ok at best, thick cut grass left on fairways, greens aerated, super slow and very bumpy.
Needs new carts
Our first cart was slow from the beginning. It died on the 6th hole. They came out and brought us a gas cart. It was great; until it wasn’t. It died on the 10th hole. It took a little longer to bring another cart. It took us over 41/2 hours to play. I went in clubhouse to ask them about some kind of compensation for our trouble. They said you finished.
Just make sure your cart is working. The course was in good shape.
Nice Course
The Creek is playing like a Private Course. That has to be one of if not the best Public Course in the Jacksonville area. Get out and play it now. Have absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
