I can't disagree with the other reviews pre-2015. However the new owner doesn't appear to have any qualms about returning Bent Tree to the top tier of Omaha/CB area public courses.

The carts are new with GPS, the clubhouse interior redone but most importantly course maintenance has vastly improved, most noticeably the sandtraps. The sand has been replaced in nearly every bunker and I'm sure by next year it will be all bunkers. The fairways are perfect, especially for November (it was 80 degrees Nov 2 2015!).

The greens however are still a work in progress, which is why I didn't give it five stars. I am quite optimistic that they will be much improved by next year. The staff is more professional. I never had any issue with them in the past but it is obvious there is a sense of course pride that wasn't there before.

The only change I don't like is not leaving some carts in the parking lot. There is no bag drop and it's a decent uphill walk carrying a cart bag.

Seniors over 55 pay $25 M-F which in my mind makes it a no brainer. Even at full price it's a good value. Bent Tree is seldom as crowded as other Omaha area courses. That may change in the future.

I played today for the golfnow.com rate of $59 which included range balls and lunch (which was a great burger and chili). Pace of play was very good. We never were slowed by anyone or pushed from behind. Course was in great shape. A cart GPS would be nice. Staff was wonderful.
