Course condition is fabulous

Enjoyed this course. Challenging and attractive course. Great driving range chipping green and putting green. Lovely shop and restaurant. Would play more often if it was cheaper.

Only back 9 open

Was disappointed to learn when we got there to find out front 9 was closed.
The greens were in awful condition.
Played second 9 on The Groves course. But there was a slow 4 ball ahead. So the round was really slow.
The guy that took our clubs was unfriendly and smart mouthed.

Fun course

We enjoy this course. Always friendly. Course was in good shape, apart from drop zone operating on one of the par 3’s. Had a slow group in front of us - they finally let us through.
Started on the 10th, I presume because of the heavy rain the day before. Got a cheap rate on Golfnow. Excellent value

Nice layout, good condition

We enjoyed our round. Paired with another couple of guys. Didn’t make any difference as slow 4 balls in front. Course was in reasonable condition. Variety of Wildlife on the course. Alligators, turtles and Sandhill cranes Good value for money - will return.

Best course Open to the public

We love to play at University. It is our favourite Course in the area.
The course is in excellent condition.
Due to a shortage of carts we were denied a second cart, which was disappointing.
The course was busy and so the round was slow. The restaurant closes in the afternoon, so you can’t get food after your round unless you play early. But you can’t get an early round on the site. So we had to go offsite for a meal.
Overall, highly recommend this course.

Course in good condition

Course in great condition, although some greens had been punched and therefore slow and bobbly. Course was pretty quiet. Although a slow 4 ball in front of us that we had to wait for.
Course host should deal with those playing slow.
Great value. Wednesdays course fee includes a free beer in the tennis lounge. And 75 cents wings were great.
We will be back.

Good round, tough conditions

Greeted as ever by friendly staff. Had received a call this morning advising us that front 9holes we’re closed due to water on the course. Decided to play anyway, the back 9 twice.
Wet on the fairways so we tried to stay on the cart paths as much as we could. Other than the water ( Hurricane Sally has just passed through) course was in excellent condition.
The course is taking the Covid threat seriously. Masks mandatory in the pro shop, carry your own bags to the cart, clubhouse closed.
Would recommend, this friendly, fun course.

Challenging course.

One of our favourite courses to play. The fairways and greens are all in good condition - a little wet in places.
We were virtually the only ones on the course, so we had a quick round which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Nice shop. Good restroom facilities. Covid precautions being maintained. Very friendly staff. Would recommend.

Slow play today

The course still looks good. And is playing well. Although no roll in the fairways. However, play was really slow today, no Marshall on the course to monitor slow play
Over four hours for the round.
BARBARA in the shop is helpful and friendly. And Mike setting us up in the golf cart couldn’t have been nicer.

Nicely set out, friendly course.

Bent Tree is a reasonable challenge - if you stay in the fairway, you don’t get in too much trouble.
Some of the fairways looked a little burnt, but still grass and playing well. Greens were in good condition and played true.
Friendly staff in the pro shop and Dana in the snack cart is great.
The course is Covid aware they won’t handle your golf bag, the clubhouse is shut. And social distance was observed.
The course was quiet the day we visited and we had a three hour round. Perfect.
Will be back soon.

Friendly course in good condition

We were happy that Bent Tree was quiet today, as we have had some busy rounds at other local courses recently. An enjoyable course, a few holes are quite challenging. But for the most part wide fairways and manageable obstructions.
The course was in good condition. A few dry areas, and the greens had been aerated( didn’t affect play).
The staff were all very friendly. Deanna our on the course with the snack cart was especially chatty and cheery.
Social distancing was being strictly observed.
Would recommend this course

Good value for money

The course is looking a little tired after a busy season. Lots of work going on around the course to remedy this. Including the 2nd green being completely relaid. Friendly, well stocked pro shop. GPS in carts, a big bonus. Beverage cart and drive up window serving hot dogs and $2 beers. Look forward to playing here again

Really like Bent Tree

We enjoy playing here. The course is in good condition. A few dry areas. Tee boxes and greens are in really good condition. Good value for money. Shame that the clubhouse facilities are closed due to the virus. Locker rooms are really nice. Not too busy - so weren’t pressure, even though we were playing with a beginner. Hope the course continues to ply week through the summer.
