Description

Bent Creek, a Gary Player design, combines resort-style playability with Smoky Mountain charm. Tight fairways framed by trees contrast with receptive greens that reward confident approaches. Elevation shifts keep every hole interesting, while water and bunkering add thoughtful risk. It's a picturesque test that offers equal parts challenge and joy. A must-play for visiting golfers.

The lady at the front desk was working her butt off & was very friendly & helpful, my son in law had such a great time we played the back 9 twice! Very beautiful & well maintained course & we will definitely recommend to others & will be back to play here again!

Strictly for the staff it gets 5 stars. Proshop team and cart staff were great! Super friendly and helpful. As for the course??? Hard 2. Course has so much potential but needs a lot of TLC. Just seems like it’s been neglected for a long time. Every green, I mean every green was overtaken by crabgrass and lots of overgrown trees. My hope is Hilton will be investing some time and recovery effort into this course. Again Staff 5 stars.

Beautiful golf course that was in great shape! Amazing views with lots of creeks and bridges to go over. Staff was friendly and courteous. Only had time to play the front nine but would definitely return to play the whole course.

This was my first time playing the course and I really enjoyed my round. The front 9 is somewhat forgiving but still places a priority of shot placement on most of the holes. Water comes into play on the majority of the holes on this course, mostly in the form of creeks and streams running along the holes, though a few have streams that cross the fairways, and this is where a lot of the target golf shots come into play. The back nine will eat your lunch if you don't have good shot control. Hazards and woodlands bring trouble into play on almost all of the holes on the back. I'm writing this after having played the course 3 times. My biggest complaint about the course is the watering. I played early each day, but many of the greens are so over-watered that there is standing water on the greens while playing. This isn't from rain; it's from intentional irrigation. I was hoping after the first day that this would be a one-time occurrence, but each round has been the same. Some holes are worse than others, with #10 being the worst. There has been so much water on the green here that hammering a 40-foot putt couldn't reach the hole. A rooster-tail of water flies up from the ball, and it gets bogged down in the film of water rapidly. I have honestly never seen this much water on a single green that was caused by irrigation. Greens go from drenched to bone dry, which makes the speeds incredibly inconsistent. This makes for an unnecessary challenge to an already difficult course. Some of the greens have a lot of crabgrass, which affects the role of the ball, but this is only on a couple of holes (#7 stands out, but there are a few others). Despite these issues, I still really like the course.
