Bent Creek Golf Club
About Bent Creek Golf Club
Bent Creek Golf Club occupies rolling, wooded ground in Eden Prairie, with 18 holes spread across roughly 106 acres and playing more than 6,500 yards from the black tees.
The layout mixes tight and open fairways with sloped greens, bunkering, and both natural and man-made water hazards. Hundreds of mature oaks, weeping willows and pines frame the holes. The first and 16th are the longest at 520 yards each, while the second plays shortest at 145 yards.
The course was designed by Don Herfort and is more than 40 years old, having seen a series of significant improvements over the decades. Course conditioning is overseen by superintendent Tom Notch.
