Discover the beauty and splendor of the Bent Pine Golf Club, described by the Links Magazine as one of “Golf’s best kept secrets!” Bent Pine blends its picturesque landscape and its natural serenity with a championship course. A masterpiece designed by Joe Lee, the course is located on 220 acres of prime hammock land, surrounded by Florida pines, citrus groves and ranch land. Accentuated by eight scenic lakes and pristine, manicured fairways that run in every direction, the course features open spaces and a variety of wildlife. The goose-necked par 5, 14th hole, is one of Joe Lee’s favorite designed par 5’s.

Host to six U. S. Open qualifiers, Bent Pine provides a formidable challenge to even the lowest handicappers, while giving all levels of golfer a fair test from all tees. Well-bunkered “Tif-Eagle” greens are characteristic of the course. Lakes, trees and the occasional challenging wind add the final touches to this treasure.
