Bent Tree Golf Club

The rolling Ohio farmland northeast of Columbus delivers a surprisingly muscular test through mature hardwoods and strategically placed water hazards on seven holes. Designer Michael Hurdzan crafted elevated tees that showcase his routing genius, particularly the dramatic downhill par-3 16th that plays over a pond to a peninsula green guarded by ancient oaks. This daily-fee gem rewards precision over power, with undulating bentgrass greens that putt true and fairways that demand course management from the tips.
