Bent Tree Country Club

The title says it all, Nice course, reasonable prices vs all the other courses that are
2-5x the cost. In no way are they twice as good!

Greens were ok but rest of course was dried out with dead spots.

Bunks were horrible

Pace of play SLOW. Bunkers need SAND.
Too many bare patches on fairways. Not nice when you’re on the fairway and on a dirt patch.

Had not played here since hurricane Ian. They have done a ton of work to create a good course and one of the best prices in area.. Course is fun and in great shape. T boxes fair, greens great, fairways good. All in all a really enjoyable day of golf. I’ve lived in Sarasota since 1952 and this course has had it’s ups and downs but right now it is a really great place to play!

The course was in good shape, greens were fast and fair, pace was good, and the course was challenging

Nice course. Greens in decent shape. Bunkers need sand. Fairways decent, but could use some work in spots. Carts paths need some major work. Enjoyed the course.

I like this course!!! Not perfect but greens are good, fairways OK. Layout is fun. Better than most around here

Enjoyed the course. Moderately difficult, but very enjoyable to play. Only complaint is of the cart path. Much worked needed to upgrade and repair. Some of the fairways need some repair. Greens were in good shape. Again, enjoyed the course overall, but cart paths need some good repair.

Counter guy let us off early. Smooth sailing on a challenging course. Tee boxes can use some TLC.

While on a golf trip with friends we decided to give this course a try. Unfortunately I had knee surgery in January so could not play; however, I still came along to share some time with buddies. We had four rounds booked on this trip.

Point 1. Service. The other three courses played had no problem with me driving a cart even though I was not playing. I also had no problem paying a cart fee. Two. Of the other theee charges me $30 for the round and the other did not charge me at all. Bent tree wanted to charge the full green fee of $71, just to ride a cart. The starter said he would ask the pro after I told him I would try to walk. The pro was not going to let me go out at all with my boys. I was told there was not enough carts for our group to take 3 carts, but then was told if I booked on gollf now I could go out. So I paid $51 for a cart Clearly this was a cash grab.

Course conditions. The front 9 fairways were brutal. It was easier to find bare dirt than grass. The greens were acceptable throughout the course, the bunkers were atrocious throughout the course. Everything was hard mud. The back 9 fairways were better.

Overall this was a disappointing experience and I would not recommend this course for real golfers. If you want to hack around than fill your boots.
