Bent Creek Golf Course

Pros: The staff is very friendly, and the course provides beautiful views of the Smokies. Cons: It is overpriced for the condition the course is kept in. The greens are overgrown and bumpy. Additionally, I do not recommend playing the back nine without a rangefinder, as there are many forced layups for which you have no good way of identifying the correct yardage to hit otherwise. Cell service is very spotty on the back, so the GPS apps are useless for determining distance. Bent Creek has been part of our golf trip for the previous two years, but I do not believe it will be in 2026 as the price is too high considering the condition the course is kept in.

The staff was so friendly and helpful. The course was absolutely beautiful. The greens did play a little slow but that was due to the weather. The course layout challenges all levels of golfers. My brother and I played on Memorial Day and basically had the back nine to ourselves and it was amazing.

One of the worst courses I’ve played in a long time. Greens hadn’t been mowed for a long time. Holes hadn’t been moved and beat up. Leaking sprinkler head on first hole at green. Back nine one of the sprinklers at the green continuously running. It was like an obstacle course out there. Would not recommend
