$67 for a weekend round. For this... Let me help you....DON'T PLAY ANY KEMPERSPORTS COURSES IN OHIO. Don't just don't. And Bent Tree, DO NOT reply with a canned response regarding the 'drought from last year and this year'. Based on the comments, this is an existing issue SINCE 2022 when you begin management. Adapt and Adjust like many of the courses in Central Ohio are doing. Do better. In fact, JUST DO.

Went back to Bent Tree for the first time in 3 years and the recent reviews had me a little nervous. After playing 18 on a Friday mid-day for $50, I think the recent string of bad reviews are overblown. Staff - The pro shop and concession staff were very friendly even with the guy at the front desk flustered because their site was down and couldn't process payments (we paid at the turn). Layout - For north Columbus public golf, Bent tree is challenging but fair and I used every club in my bag. It has good character and makes you think around the course. Course conditions - With the severe lack of rain, I think the course was holding up pretty well. Sure there were bare spots here and there, but other recent reviews are a little overblown. They had recently aerated the greens and collars which made the greens very bumpy, but that happens every year and may explain the decreased greens fees. The bunkers were horrendous. Some new sand and ongoing care would make this a quick improvement if they cared to address. Speed of play - This was abysmal. It took us nearly 5 hours to play. We were stacked up on nearly every tee box. This would be a quick fix if someone was willing to confront the 1 group 4 holes ahead that is taking too long and slowing everyone else behind them up. Being tuff on one group makes everyone else's experience better. Value - $50 was a good deal. $70 would be tough to swallow but everyone has their own perspective. I'd go back tomorrow to play this course in that condition on a Friday. I can't speak to Kempersports intentions for their courses. I recently heard Royal American is being turned into a housing development. I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to squeeze as much money out of their courses at the expense of their customers. It seems to be the way of the world now. Overall, today was a good day of golf.

Course is not in good shape at all. Greens are littered with divot marks, fairways are dead, and the tee boxes are pretty high. Clubhouse is nice but might be the only positive part of this course. Will not be back.

I can say with out a doubt that this course had the all the amenities on and off the course to make for the perfect day. Even after a heavy rain the runoff was enough for us to have the carts on the course. The course was challenging enough to make for a fun round, but open enough where an amateur golfer can have a day. I will be back again.

Course was in good shape. Lots of rain lately so that may be helping to keep the course green. Rough was deep and some areas were longer than they should have been but that's the rain. My only real issue with this course and every Kemper Sports course is that they charge the same if you walk. That's ridiculous and needs to change. In addition this course does not offer push carts which sucks on a CPO day. I've got my own but my buddy didn't have one so he rode and honestly it was tougher for him than us. Course is a neat layout with some interesting holes. Greens were slow.
