Tough course but really fun. I chose a windy day to go which I would not recommend. You best hit very straight in order to not lose several balls!

Best links course in the area. Wind will dictate how you play and club selection.

From course design to conditions, this place is excellent. Very playable, but when the wind gets up out there it can be a challenge for anyone. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Charging an extra $23 to ride alone during the COVID pandemic when the course is completely empty is not only terrible customer service, but alsoirresponsible!! I will not return and will tell mothers to stay away!

The Course Is In Great ConditionThe only reason for the Three Stars is because I asked About Riding Alone in a cart they charged me 23 dollars extra and wanted to charge my playing partner the same amount on top of the of the green fee I did not see anything like that when i made the tee time online had i known I would have not made the tee time

Moved to the area a couple of months ago and found this gem that is only about 10 minutes from our house. Great track!! Greens are quick but true and who can beat the price? Staff very friendly as well. Turned 56 last year and its 30 bucks with a cart during the week. Will be looking to join in the future once we get settled.

This is my first year as a member, and first year I have ever played it! Course is in great condition, greens run true all year and are fast. Tony and Mark are awesome to work with, as well as the rest of the staff. Won’t get a better bang for your buck!

Challenging links style golf course. Course was in very good shape.

This is one of the greatest courses I’ve ever played, in terms of quality and service. Tony went out of his way to insure we had an enjoyable time. The greens are tour level greens in my opinion. Very challenging undulation, the roll is perfect, and the course itself is in superb condition. It is a challenging course, but there is some forgiveness on it. A 10-12 handicap player can play fairly well on it. I will be back for sure next year. Thanks again Tony!

Tried to rent a room. Staff was very friendly in helping us after looking at the room and checking things out. This was our planned venue. Then we tried to set a date with Tony, who made excuses and tried to casually persuade us into not choosing this venue. He eventually told us he only likes to rent out to golfers. We would have understood if told earlier. Very hard to work with and rude.

Im not a championship golfer so what am I doing here. Well most of the people I saw here were In a similar boat. This is a long challenging coarse and you will loose balls. It is also fun and pretty in a no tree sort of way.I would recommend calling ahead for tee times but they got us on in short order. The carts have GPS and that is a great help. Make sure you are ready to loose one ball per hole if you are an average golfer. The tall grass prairie eats them up.

Is it Ireland? Is it heaven? No its Bent Tree Golf Course. Fantastic course!

Review №23

This is hands down the best course in the Omaha Metro. Even better than most private clubs. Tony and the staff are first class and the grounds crew keep the course in phenomenal shape. The fairways and greens are at a tour level and the layout is 2nd to none. The clubhouse has a really nice bar setup with TVs thats perfect for after your round. The best thing is the price you pay to play here. I was shocked. In Southern Utah this course would be over 100 per round easily.

Staff is super friendly. The course was in great shape. And it was challenging. I dont recommend walking unless you are in really good shape. Sometimes tee to green is quite long and its very hilly.

Bent tree is a great course! Probably the best Links Style course in the metro area. Recently under new management (within the past 2-3 years) and it shows. The grounds crew does a great job and have been making nice improvements to the course. They have added some new tee boxes and bunkers around the course, and the greens are rolling exceptionally well! Will definitely be back!

Great track. Friendly staff. $30 for 18 and a cart is a steal for the quality of the course.

Bent Tree is a really nice course. Rolling hills, elevated tee boxes on most holes, challenging tees, and the greens are immaculate. I like the design of the course and that staff is fantastic! Well worth the drive from Omaha.

Awesome course. Native grass is awesome. Fairways and greens are perfect. Tony in the shop and the superintendent Ben do a hell of a job. Worth the drive and money.

Review №35

Gorgeous course in awesome condition! The front is links style and the back is much more hilly with a lot of super awesome elevated Tee boxes. I think this course is as good if not better that Quarry Oaks, Woodland Hills, and Iron Horse. Cant wait to go back!!

Great course. Challenging, hilly but fair. AWESOME greens! Soft, not too fast, but not slow. Definitely worth the time and money.

Bent Tree is going through positive ownership changes this 2015 season. New carts with GPS, replenished sand traps (among the best around now) but the previous poster is correct on the greens. He played earlier in the year (as did I), I also played in the late fall. Overall course condition now was fantastic except for the greens. Judging from what Ive seen over the course of the summer, Im optimistic that the greens will be brought up to the current excellent state of the rest of the course by next year. Its something that just takes awhile. If that happens, Bent Tree will be in the top tier of public area courses.

Bent Tree is under new ownership and it shows. This course has always been one of the top layouts in the Omaha Metro area; now its one of the best conditioned. Greens have been restored to exceptional condition. This is not a parkland layout with big trees, lush fairways and manicured sand traps. Bent Tree is a links course with native grass and firmer and sometimes unevenly mowed fairways. Its more in the mold of Prairie Club, ArborLinks and Ballyneal, but without the long road trips. The par 3s at Bent Tree are each different and each exceptional, and holes 6, 7 and 8 rival any three-hole stretch in the Metro area. Holes 1, 6, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 17 look like they leaped off a Bandon Dunes calendar. I recently heard the new owner is looking to make some changes to the layout. My response, dont change a thing. In its current condition, this may be the most fun course in the Omaha Metro area.
