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.

Tees were in poor condition
I couldn’t find one tee all day that had any grass. I really like this course and layout so hoping in a month or two grass starts to grow where you expect it too. Also very tough to pitch/chip due to grass dormancy.
Wait 2 months
Friendly staff, great, layout and fun course. But, by the looks of it, it appears the course needs to grow some grass before you can actually enjoy the course. There was a lot of mud, a lot of thin areas, and a lot of the greens didn’t have much grass on them. You could tell efforts were being made to put the course in a good direction, but right now, it needs some love and attention. I would check back in a couple of months after the grass grows, and the sun is out for a good amount of time to help promote the growth of grass.
Meh
All the focus to the greens and now the other portions have fallen off. Tee boxes were pretty trashy and mutilated. 5.5 hour round during the week and I walked because the cart path only (was waiting every shot for the group ahead). Overhang in the greenside bunkers. Divots not filled throughout the course, some were quite old. The course really has a lot of potential.
I use Golf Now from time to time for courses in my area
Good way to set up a run the day before and play a good course
The Course is in great shape
I haven't played here in quite a while and the course improvements have worked. The fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Some of the tee boxes need improving but hopefully with the tree trimming that has occurred and spring just being around the corner they will bounce back.
Visiting Jacksonville
Enjoyed playing this course I’m from up north and it’s
nice to play golf in the winter on a course in really good condition. Very friendly staff and reasonable priced.
