Bentwinds Country Club - Private golf course in Fuquay-Varina - 6536 Dornoch Pl, USA

First time playing here. Don't know any members here and had never heard of the course. Definitely flies under the radar. Course is in amazing shape considering we haven't had much rain. Seems to be very well cared for. Carts were nice and quiet. Grounds crew and greens keeper did an amazing job with pin placements and the quality of the cups. The sand was even and raked in a gorgeous pattern. I wish I could clone this crew and put them at other courses in Wake county. Great job! Layout and design are the weak points here which is not the staffs fault. Played from blue and still could not find many holes to use the driver, especially on the back 9. Lots of layups and dog legs. Too much distance between some of the holes which makes it very unfriendly to walkers. Walking 18 was fine because I walk when I play but I don't recommend walking here. Greens are very firm, fast, and fair but have lots of undulations (in my opinion). Driving range has space for irons or wedges only and has fewer bays than most courses but other practice areas are great. Seems like instead of building a neighborhood around the golf course, it's almost like they built a golf course in the neighborhood if that makes sense. I will play anywhere so this place is ok in my book and I would gladly go back. Glad I got to see it, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything based on my preferences. This course may check all the boxes for someone else.

Love the club. Great facilities and friendly staff. Really appreciate the tennis coaches and program director (Kim) making me and my family feel welcomed. Tennis courts are in great condition and have good availability (and there is pickleball too!).

Great course- Better membership than most. Considered the hour drive to leave my club for Bentwinds

Nice course conditions were good for the time of year(fall)

Best conditions in the area. Perfect greens, fun layout.

Good, classic place for a wedding. The staff was very nice! I like the porch

Great course. Friendly staff. The food is decent. The value is very good but the quality is just ok. In my opinion the membership is overpriced. It's a nice course but there are nicer courses out there for cheaper, for example Riverwood. The golf range is pretty small but decent. Clean facilities. Will return.

Course is in great shape. I played it twenty years ago and joined Devels ridge because it seems like they ran out of room when they designed it. A+ to the greens keeper but the layout to me is and always will be an F.
