Bent Creek Golf Course lies at the very foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. A par 72 course, the Bent Creek Golf Course was designed by Gary Player and opened in 1972.The course is closest of all to Gatlinburg, and provides a challenging and relaxing experience.<\/p>\n

Divided into two distinct segments, this very challenging golf course is strategically placed half in a scenic valley and half in mountainous terrain. The front nine offers a traditional and fairly flat round – although surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery – while the back nine really shines as a challenging mountain course.<\/p>\n

“Southern Living Travel Guide” ranks this course as one of the top 50 Southern Resort Courses<\/b>. This course’s terrain varies from flat to rolling, but it is still easy to walk. There are water hazards that come into play on a number of holes, there are sand traps, and many trees can alter your shots, so come prepared for a good challenge!<\/p>\n

The clubhouse was newly rebuilt following the wildfires of 2016, and new ownership keeps the greens and fairways in excellent condition. A sparkling mountain stream meanders through the course, which is wonderful ambience, but can sometimes give rise to lots of gnats, if this matters to you.<\/p>\n

For more information, please go to www.bentcreekgolf.com<\/a> or or call 865-436-3947. The course is located at 3919 East Parkway in Gatlinburg, TN.<\/p>\n

This is one of the great Smoky Mountains golf courses within reach of your Gatlinburg cabin rental<\/a> or Pigeon Forge cabin rental<\/a>.<\/p>\n
