Bent Tree Country Club

been playing in Bradenton/Sarasota area for.a few years now on vacation, nicest greens I've played yet. Course layout is nice, can be challenging when your swing is not up to par. Good value for the money.

Very nice golf course - great layout and well maintained.

I know how tough it is to survive in todays business world , between tax’s and insurance, and labor and the abundance of expenses. Played a couple times recently and enjoyed , but as all courses there’s always room to improve, and some are simple which mean a lot to your patrons thanks for a great team

It’s a shame such a beautiful golf course not your typical FLA layout, but the lack of maintenance money is taking a toll. The tee boxes are pretty brown …one hole had a mat poured in concrete.
The pace of play was ridiculous 245 on the front. The group in front of us had two holes open in front of them. No one from the club seemed to care..
Too bad it’s a really ibeautiful track

I really enjoyed the round. I was a single and got paired up with a great group and sent out early! Cart mgmt was the only thing slowing us down from going out earlier. Nice tees, decent layout, water was not a big problem, traps could be a lot better, greens were very fair to play on. I will play again here and bring friends.

Pace of ply wasn’t bad the group ahead of us was good on T and fareway. Seemed a little slow on greens

I’ve played this course many times over the years and , in general, I would say it’s in pretty good shape except for the one problem it’s had, seemingly forever- the sand traps ! They’re in terrible condition and have been for years ! What gives ? I know they’re lacking a driving range and the club house is kind of run down, but I’m here to play golf and unfortunately, I do slip into a sand trap occasionally. But the tees, fairways, and greens are in good shape and still make the course a good value.

Bags taken to cart. Lovely guy at check in.
Water on course.
Ball washers at every T.
T boxes in good shape
Fairways in very good shape
Greens slow but putt true and in great shape
Bunkers empty and hard pack cement …too bad
Overall a great course and fair price for Sarasota!

They should invest in some sand!

My dad and I played here 8 years ago and loved it. He passed away 7 years ago so I thought it would be nice to play it, in his memory, with a friend. It was a great time;great group, and great golf!

Played Monday it took 5 hours 15 minutes. I gave it a very poor rating.

Today it took 4 hours and 10 minutes
which is acceptable this time of year.

My rating is “good”.

Nice greens. Overall in good shape.
Decent design.
No driving range lost the 5th star.

We got off on our scheduled tee time with no wait for cart use. Staff was attentive and organized. Par 3 on number 15 was a bit tricky being very short in distance. All other holes were fun and at times challenging. Fun 18 holes with a joined twosome to compliment our tee time as a foursome.
