BENT CREEK GOLF COURSE

Golfer Comments
03/16/2009 - The hotel manager asked where we were playing and when we told him Bent Creek he said he never heard of it. We were a little worried, but when we got there we saw that it's a very nice course and it exceeded our expectations. Posted by Angelo (Orlando, FL)
06/23/2008 - The pro shop guy Matt was most kind and helpfull during our day of golf . Well treated by all we came in contact with. Beautiful course and lay out . Will be happy to return soon. Posted by John (Castle Rock, CO)
04/07/2008 - Great shape from tee to green. Great value for the money. Posted by Douglas (Bellingham, MA)
03/20/2007 - Great course to start with, Fairways were wide enough, greens were not too small. Mounding in rough was not severe. Fairways, greens and tees were overseeded. Overseeding in the fairways was more sparce. Any homes on the course did not come into play. Pace of play was 4 hours for 18 holes. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Posted by Dana (Portsmouth, NH)
03/05/2007 - Good course to start with. The Bermuda gave us some problems at a week. Finished in 4 hours. Posted by Dana (Portsmouth, NH)
