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.

Great Greens
The course has really improved, a little wet due to recent weather but fairways, tees, Greens above average. Always loved the layout. Only thing on a couple holes would try to trim marsh in front of tees (tough to see one green in par 3 and 1 fairway on par 5).
Glad to see it back
What can I say
Whatever the course is doing keep it up.
Tee to green, every hole in great condition
Great course!!!
Course was kept up nicely. Staff was very friendly.
Layout could be a little confusing if not played there before. But overall a really nice course and price!!!
First time user
Course was in good shape. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not knowing what to expect, everything went smoothly!
avoid Golfnow booking
made tee times on BentCreek website. Mistake, because Golfnow is their booking agent and they do prepaid and you are unable to adjust your rate at the course to senior rate. Everything else was excellent from the staff to the course.
Loved it
Great course for the deal we got. Not a very creative layout but beautiful. Greens in great condition, along with fairways and tee boxes.
Good value
First time playing this course. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Layout was fun to play. I did not experience the bunkers so I can’t comment on condition of sand. Due to rain for several days earlier carts were limited to cart paths only. Cart paths can use some improvements and extensions. Overall, I would recommend.
Had fun
The greens were pretty hard, and were rolling pretty slow. We were warned of the greens being shaggy from the gentleman in the pro shop before starting our round (because the rain received the week prior was preventing some mowing). Decent pace of play, and fun track!
Great Value
Course conditions were great! Staff was friendly, excellent value for the money! Highly recommended!
