Type Public
Par 72
Length 6642 yards
Slope 126
Rating 71.9

The lush, rolling terrain occupied by Bent Tree Golf Club was sculpted into one of the most popular championship golf courses in central Ohio. Dennis Griffiths, the course's architect, seamlessly blended the design with the natural features of the landscape. The abundant natural water hazards come into play on half the holes and Griffiths strategically incorporated several well placed bunkers. The terrain's gentle undulations provide some interesting slope in the greens that place a priority on accuracy. Bent Tree Golf Club's par-4 eighth hole is especially demanding. It may be short at only 334 yards but it is surrounded by bunkers on all sides. It is followed by another tricky par 4 that requires both distance and accuracy in order to navigate the tree-lined fairway uphill to an undulating green faced with bunkers to the front and back.

Great Course

Played for the first time today and had a fantastic time. Everything was in great condition and the sand traps made some of the tees more challenging than most.

Twilight round. I was a single behind a foursome & a threesome, but nobody was behind me. It was good since I could hit multiple shots & work on some things. Paid for 18, but could only get in 12 due to darkness., but I knew that going in so it was well worth it.

The course was in good shape for the time of the year. They blow the leaves off the greens which is nice since it was fall.

Course is always in great shape. Definitely worth the price. Only complaint was the number of ball marks left.

Course is falling apart

This course has one of my favorite layouts in Central Ohio. Sadly, the course was in terrible shape. The bunkers hadn’t been touched all year. The tee boxes looked like they hadn’t been moved in weeks. It was nearly impossible to find a clean lie or stance on a tee box. The greens were very chewed up.

Rough shape

Probably played this course 30+ times over the years. The course conditions get worse and worse each time I am there. For $50 + for 18 I'd expect a little bit better upkeep.

What happened?

Played this course several times last year and it was in great shape. Today we played it for the first time this year and the tee box’s were torn up, greens had bare spots, and most bunkers were unplayable with weeds in them. I’m not sure what happened but it is sad to see

Greens and Fairways in terrific shape for mid November, sand traps in bad shape, but it’s November, so there’s a pass.
