Bent Tree Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The lush, rolling terrain occupied by Bent Tree Golf Club was sculpted into one of the most popular championship golf courses in central Ohio. Dennis Griffiths, the course's architect, seamlessly blended the design with the natural features of the landscape. The abundant natural water hazards come into play on half the holes and Griffiths strategically incorporated several well placed bunkers. The terrain's gentle undulations provide some interesting slope in the greens that place a priority on accuracy. Bent Tree Golf Club's par-4 eighth hole is especially demanding. It may be short at only 334 yards but it is surrounded by bunkers on all sides. It is followed by another tricky par 4 that requires both distance and accuracy in order to navigate the tree-lined fairway uphill to an undulating green faced with bunkers to the front and back.

Yardage and bunkers
Little to no yardages available. Lines on the cart paths were about it and not applicable some holes. Nothing to speak of in the fairways on sprinkler heads. Could just some help in that aspect. Had to guess on multiple approaches and without a range finder it’s just not fun
Great greens!
- Pros: greens were fast and recently cut, hardly anyone else at the course for a 12 pm start, friendly staff
- Cons: several holes have bunkers removed or added, play as ground under repair.
Overall: Play this course if you can! The greens were rolling, excellent, and the staff is super friendly. We start at the round at 12 noon and there was no one in front of us or behind us for 5 to 6 holes. The practice green and driving range we're both open, and having electric carts on this course made the day really easy.
Fantastic Shape for FEBRUARY!!
Our group had a wonderful day ... pretty much had the course to ourselves on a blue sky and sunshine day in February.!! The course was in excellent shape.
The course was very dry.. but it was still carpath, only which was the only downside.
Great Course and Friendly Staff
Considering golf in late January, the course was in great shape. Can't wait for spring/summer. Staff was very friendly
Underwhelming
This is my home course and it was the first time I got out to it this season. Was very disappointed in the bunker conditions all over the course. Almost everyone has super wet conditions… even standing water in some and it had not rained in 2 days and been warm. Additionally multiple tee boxes were in rough shape, #7 in particular. Love the practice and clubhouse facilities.
Unplayable Sand Traps
Great condition besides the sand traps. Most all of them were unplayable, even after 2 weeks of no rain.
