Bent Tree Golf Club

Played on an cold rainy Monday morning. Course was great. Will definitely be back when the weather is nicer to get a full feel for the course!

The staff seems to have given up. The course itself was in the worst condition I've ever seen a semi-reputable course in. Tee markers were down or completely gone on a few holes and the fairways looked like they had been abandoned for months. We waited a good while for a staffer to arrive at the concession, only after we found someone else to go get her. No apologies. Won't go back.

A couple of introductory comments: (1) This was one of my favorite courses in Central Ohio for 20+ years, so I might be biased; (2) I had read all of the negative reviews about the conditions since the change of ownership, so this was my first time out there this year, and I was not expecting much going in... Those things having been said, I would say this: It's still a great course with a great layout, a friendly staff, and nice off-course amenities. The course is not in great shape (numerous spots where fairways were obviously burned out, tees not mowed, etc), but it's much better than I expected, and it is clear that they are trying to get it back into shape. The tees and greens had been aerated and sanded, and there were numerous people out working all over the course. Still hoping for a comeback for what was once a great course!

Good course, Pace of play was excellent right after an outing. course was east to navigate, had to play some target golf hit to area. will play again

I get it's late in the year but for how good of a layout this is, the course is in AWFUL shape. Looks like tractors have been running over most of it constantly. The saving grace is how good of condition the greens are in. Really appreciate the care here. Fairways and sand traps are pitiful.

Still, enjoyed the time but DO NOT pay full price for this.

It smells when you walk into the building. Sulfur and the amenities are lacking. Out of many beverages as well at the turn. Staff is nice. Pace of place was slow and had to wait on every hole. All the greens are horrible and the tee boxes were definitely in need of work. Only hole that was decent was the 18 th.

Save your money. Tee boxes were awful. Greens were the only thing maintained. For $60 I figured they would water a little more than the greens to fight the drought.

I hope they are closing this course. Maybe they sold it. The grass is all gone. They should just close the building, get rid of all staff, and let people go walk and play for free if they want to. Ever since they sold to Kemper sports, four of the six courses look like dead fields. Worse courses I’ve ever seen. I’m a member. Wish I’d known then they would let these courses become cow pastures. I’d like to know what their plans are for the course. Really bad place.

This course had the worst tee boxes I have ever seen. No yardage markers and terrible fairways.

The tees were in very poor shape along with the fairways all the grass was dead and mostly sand in the tee boxes. None of the sand traps were in playing condition the only thing that was good was the greens in pretty good shape except no one repairs there ball marks.

It’s a shame they have let this course fall so far from its past glory. Ben tree has always been a good spot to have a nice round but they just are paying to keep it up. You have to water and keep your tee boxes and bunkers in a presentable condition, they are doing none of the things. The Greens were ok.

If this course was a book, it would be the tortoise and the hare. But a version of the book where the hare doesn’t really exist at all and it’s just the tortoise slowly moving along without letting A SOUL play through. There needs to be a marshal riding around telling people to hurry up. Staff is excellent, golfers need to learn common courtesy
