Challenging and beautiful
Beautiful course set in the mountains. Difficult but very fun. Front 9 is relatively flat and open, back 9 is IN the mountains... dog legs, narrow fairways, and downhill par 3's galore.
Most Underrated Course In The Smokies
Hidden gem of a course. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The course conditions were great, even with rain the night before. Front 9 greens a little slow but true. The back 9 greens were great. Fairways were great, rough a bit punishing as it should be. Playing here brought back memories of playing here with my dad years ago, and I will say the course condition is the best I have ever seen it !!
Cant wait to play here again.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round with us at Bent Creek!
Great course with greater potential
We played this course this past weekend and had a great time. The greens were in fantastic shape and the layout is what sets it apart. The course isn't very long but there are some unique holes that you don't see very often and that's what makes it great. There are a few tee boxes on the back nine that could use some attention but nothing that really takes away from the round. Touching up those tee boxes and bringing back some of the bunkers that are now overgrown would move this to a 5 star rating for me.
2 Things I recommend to anyone playing here:
1) Bug spray. We read reviews before the round about the bugs being bad and it saved us big time. If you don't use bug spray, you may not have a good time.
2) Pay attention to the hole description for each hole on the scorecard. There are creeks and bunkers that you won't be able to see from most of the tee boxes.
P.S. There is a practice putting green but no driving range. I don't count it as a knock on the course though because it's in the middle of the mountains and they have to make due with what land they have.
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
Great course with greater potential
We played this course this past weekend and had a great time. The greens were in fantastic shape and the layout is probably my favorite part (not to mention the views). The course isn't very long but it provides some unique and challenging holes that I don't see very often. There are a few tee boxes on the back nine that could use some attention but nothing that really takes away from the overall experience. Touching up those tee boxes and bringing back some of the bunkers that are now grass would push this to a 5 star rating for me. The potential is there but I understand these things take time and money.
2 things I'll recommend to people coming to play this course:
1) Bug spray. We read reviews beforehand about the gnats being bad on this course but with the bug spray, they didn't bother us. If you don't use any, you may not have a good time.
2) If it's your first time, pay attention to the description of each hole on the scorecard before you hit your tee shot. Many of the holes have creeks and bunkers that you won't be able to see from the tee box.
P.S. There is a practice putting green but no driving range. I don't count this as a knock on the course because it's in the middle of the mountains so they have to make due with what land they have.

To start off with the staff was super friendly and seemed to appreciate us playing. This is a well thought out course with challenging holes absolutely love the back nine highly recommended and will be going back myself!!
Hi Daniel. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bent Creek Golf Course.
I got a great deal on Golf Now for a late morning tee off on a Tuesday. It had rained a lot the previous few days but the course was in great shape. It was challenging, with all the water, but a fun course. My only complaint was, my wife came along j just to ride in the cart with me, since we were on vacation together. But they were going to charge her $21.95 just for a "rider fee" (which was more than I paid for playing 18 holes with the cart). She went shopping instead (which ended up costing me more than the rider fee!), and I played by myself. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Good time
I like the course layout; challenging for all levels. The only drawback are the gnats; with the proper amount of bug spray they are controllable.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
A Tale of Two 9's
This course has a chance if the right commitment is made to improve the conditions especially to the front 9. The front 9 was rough, fairways and around the greens need considerable attention...most of it can be done with proper mowing....the greens in the front were fine...would rate them a 7. The back 9 was very good...fast and properly mowed fairways with solid greens that I would rate at a 9. Would definitely recommend the course. Hope Management is willing to spend the money to make this course a place to remember. Would also point out staff was polite and professional.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have you back again soon!
OK
It rained earlier a.nd the course was pretty and it was cart path only, Lots of bugs.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course despite the rain. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon!
Prior course knowledge essential
This is.a beautiful course in the mountains, surrounded by homes. The front nine stays in the valley while the back works up through the hills. There are some really fun and creative, not to mention spectacularly scenic holes, especially on that back 9, However, prior course knowledge would make a world of difference...at least pair with someone who has played. The scorecard provides some guidance, but still found myself in bad positions following what I thought was a perfect tee shot. Green rolled very well and held approach shots. Never saw any beverage service on the course, but maybe that’s a weekend perk. Overall, enjoyed the course.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We appreciate your feedback and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Has a great back 9
Good layout. Front 9 is flat but the back 9 is very hilly with some interesting holes. The greens were in very good condition. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We're also glad that our staff left a great impression on you. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
A fund day on the course
The course was fun, the back nine had a few blind shoots which would require playing the course more then once
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Great course
First time playing at Bent Creek and it was a great experience. Course is very challenging and unique. Would recommend this course to anyone who is in the area with all the great views of the Smokey Mountains and the creek that runs throughout the course as well.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your first time playing our course. We're glad that you enjoyed the challenge it presented as well as our views. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Bent Creek!
Winter conditions
Staff is excellent. The course was a little rough, but that is to be expected this time of year. It was playable, but very saturated. I guarantee this course is beautiful in late spring through the fall. Cool layout. Hope to get to play it again when weather conditions improve.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that our staff left a great impression on you and we appreciate your feedback on our conditions. We hope to have you back again soon once the course is in top shape!
Bent creek
Greens were the worst I have ever played. Cart path was beyond repair. Carts were dated. Course construction on back 9. We were only glad that we booked through golfnow and didn't pay 39.00 dollars each.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. We are working on our course conditions and we understand our cart paths need improvement. We will be working on them next year. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future!

Great staff
I played at this golf course today with a couple of friends. The woman working the club house was very professional and respectful. Friendliest staff I have ever met. Would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Bent Creek Golf Course!
Hidden gem
Course was in great shape front 9 always a simple layout while the back is challenging with a few placement shots staff is always friendly is definitely recommend this place to anyone
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Bent Creek Golf Course.
Slow play
Played on a Monday and the course played very slow 5 hour plus round. No beverage carts and only two water coolers on the entire course
