Who punches and sands the greens on a Friday says nothing at checking and charges full price? This place does. There was so much sand on the greens no grass was visible on some holes.. Most courses punch the greens on a Monday or Tuesday. Course was in decent shape because of the recent rain that added some green to the fairways. But, prior to the rain it was burned out. Sod was recently added to the teeboxes and of course it's dead. Staff is NOT friendly whatsoever!! Some of the decisions about course care defy logic. Slow play has been an issue for some time and of course nothing is done about it.. I drove over an hour to play and that will not happen again.

Outstanding golf course - always a treat to play. Has some thick rough, as it should be. Course has always been challenging and well kept. The overall value and beauty of this club are without equal. A proper golf experience, right here in Southeast Missouri. Bent Creek is my new "home course", and it's 40 minutes from my house.

Great course . Greens are very well maintained and fairways are super smooth. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Price was very comparable to two other golf courses. Definitely would go again

The owner Brad was very rude and disrespectful. We had our cart 1’ off of the cart path and he came asking why we didn’t know how to read etc etc. his tone and demeanor was very confrontational. Almost like he was above us or wanted problems. The Cart paths are extremely unkept and a lot of the greens are rough. The t-box’s are a nightmare to say the least

I’ve played at a lot of courses in the area, and unfortunately, Bent Creek falls short in both quality and customer experience. The course itself is in noticeably subpar condition – fairways and greens clearly need more care and attention. What really ruined the experience, though, was the attitude of the owner. (Be sure to wear a collared shirt underneath an already existing collared shirt if you need to cool off) Instead of fostering a welcoming environment for golfers, he came across as extremely rude and disrespectful, showing zero regard for players or their experience. A golf course should be a place to relax and enjoy the game, but it’s hard to do that when you’re dealing with unprofessional behavior from management. There are plenty of other nearby courses where the staff treat you well and the course conditions reflect pride and effort. Until Bent Creek makes major improvements to both the course and their approach to customer service, I can’t recommend it.
