About this course

Bent Creek Country Club sits in the rolling farmland of Lancaster County near Lititz, Pennsylvania. Jay Morrish designed the course, which opened in the late 1980s during a period when Morrish was establishing his reputation for strategic, playable layouts that work with natural terrain. The course occupies land that transitions from open agricultural fields to wooded creek corridors, giving the routing variety in both character and visual setting. The design incorporates Bent Creek itself, which influences several holes and adds both scenic interest and strategic consequence to approach shots and recoveries. Morrish's routing takes advantage of elevation changes typical of the Pennsylvania piedmont, creating holes that play uphill, downhill, and across sloping ground. The layout balances risk-reward opportunities with straightforward holes, reflecting Morrish's philosophy of providing options for players of different skill levels while maintaining interest for accomplished golfers. Bent Creek Country Club functions as a private facility serving the Lancaster County community. The club offers traditional country club amenities including dining and social programs alongside golf. The course has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, serving as a competitive venue for Pennsylvania golf without seeking a high-profile tournament calendar. The setting remains relatively quiet and pastoral, consistent with the agricultural character of the surrounding region.
