Bent Tree Golf Club

I've played this course three times and it's difficult, but not so difficult that I get frustrated. It can be a little damp with some standing water if it's rained recently, so keep an eye on the weather before and during your round. But, overall it's a good course just north of Columbus.

Course was in great condition. Greens are tough and fast. It is one of the better courses around central Ohio. The staff was very friendly and quite helpful.

Great public course I've played on several occasions with great friends from the surrounding area. It has always been in great shape and can be very challenging if you under don't manage the course. Their are some birdie opportunities so it is possible to shoot some low scores. The greens run true and the speed can vary depending on the weather but they always seem to hold okay. There are a few holes that can frustrate you if you let them especially if you try and kill the ball instead of playing the hole in regulation you will know these holes when you stand on the tee box don't be tempted.The club house has decent food and good service and the pro shop can provide you with anything you may have forgotten to bring but a low score. I hope to have a few more rounds here in the future.

Today was my first time at this golf course, and I am here to say that my friends and I will not be returning EVER! The management is completely awful and full of rude people. So rude that I felt compelled to leave a review.(which I never do). The management seems to think their course is a godsend and that regular customers are blessed to even be playing on it, when this couldn't be further from the truth. Let me list the issues with this course.The golf carts are filthy and out of date. The course is absolutely awful. It seems as though no one is even taking care of it. There is dead grass and dirt spots EVERYWHERE.The tee boxes had HUGE divots and barely any green at all!Crab grass and leaves run rampant over the entire course.The greens are spongey and barely playable.If you are reading this review, PLEASE take my advice and don't waste your time or money coming here. There are many different golf courses around the area that are SIGNIFICANTLY better than this one.We came here with the intentions of having a GREAT golf day with friends. Instead we are leaving full of disappointment due to the golf course and anger due to the management.I made the mistake of not reading the reviews before we came here. This was a last minute golf outing and the only reason we came here was for the open tee time. I know see why they had the open tee time during a premium time spot when every other golf course was booked.HEED MY WARNING. This is one of the worst golf courses in the entire Columbus area.

What a terrible experience at this course. Pro sends a group out mid round to start on hole 6 (in front of us) when we had open holes behind us. When asked for an explanation from the Pro, he said "that he had to maximize the play on his course". There are much better options in Columbus.

Great course to play, maybe the best in central Ohio itself. The greens are in good shape and the management team is very skilled in the way they take care of this course. Nice place to putt around before a round of golf and the range isn't too bad but it definitely needs some of the grass to start growing back. But overall a really nice course to play at.

Great course. Greens are tough to read which makes for a challenging round of golf. Fairways are in great shape. Traps are decent.

Played 18 holes with my son today at Bent Tree. My son was in Columbus on Business so I ventured to Bent Tree from Avon Lake, Ohio, 2 hr. drive.When I made the tee time no one told me that the greens had been top dressed. Why they would do that in August when the playing season for Ohio is still in full swing. Needless to say they rolled terrible! The fringe around the green was long and not cut. Sand traps were not raked at all. Why I was inclined to leave a poor review is because I paid $120.00 for two with cart and range balls. By the way, the range is in awful shape as well.Oddly enough, the starter on the first tee remarked to me how I would find the course in very good shape. I guess everyone has their own standard. I won't ever be back

Dollars versus quality and condition, this course is certainly one of the best in central Ohio. Particularly love the fact that playing from standard man tees back to championship is almost like playing a completely different course. Many challenges that will engage the most experienced player while at the same time forgiving fairways for novice or beginner players.The course only takes teetimes one week in advance and if you're hoping to play Saturday or Sunday you need to be on the phone or the website Saturday or Sunday the week prior if you want to teatime because of its great demand.

This course has been in our regular rota for the big annual outing I organize (4 courses in 3 days near Delaware, OH) so we play here every other or every third year. In the past this has been a pretty good track but we won't be back unless I hear about some serious improvements in maintenance. The tee boxes were hacked up and full of crabgrass, the fairways were horrendous -- lots of divots, crabgrass and burned out areas, the greens were spongy but actually pretty good. Quite a disappointment -- this used to be a nice place but it seems that they are no longer putting any money into the place. There are also hundreds of dead ash trees (thanks, Emerald Ash Borer!) all around this place that they need to take down for a) aesthetics and b) safety, as they will come down at some point on their own.There are way too many well maintained golf courses around here (Delaware GC, RAL, Blackhawk, Glenross, etc.) to bother with this place in the future...it is out of the rotation.
