Bent Creek Golf Course is a par 72 layout located in Jackson, Missouri, situated in the scenic hills of Southeast Missouri. Designed by Gary Kern in 1989, the course was intentionally developed to incorporate the natural challenges presented by the surrounding terrain. The course features a picturesque setting characterized by rolling countryside, mature tree stands, and multiple lakes that define play throughout the round.
A defining characteristic of Bent Creek is the meandering creek that comes into play on at least seven holes, adding both visual appeal and strategic difficulty. The combination of these natural water features, undulating topography, and established trees creates a course that challenges players of all skill levels, from novice to experienced golfers. The design effectively balances difficulty with playability, making it accessible yet engaging. The course accommodates play across all seasons, maintaining its appeal whether visited in spring, summer, fall, or winter. Bent Creek serves as both a daily-fee and membership facility, with additional amenities including a pro shop, bar, and ballroom for events.
