About this course

Bent Tree Golf Club sits in Sunbury, a small community northeast of Columbus in central Ohio. The course was designed by Denis Griffiths, a regional architect active in Ohio and the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Griffiths worked on numerous courses throughout the region, typically creating layouts that work with existing land forms rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of central Ohio, with mature tree corridors framing fairways and elevation changes that add variety to the routing. The design reflects a straightforward approach common to courses built for daily-fee or semi-private play during its era, emphasizing playability across different skill levels while incorporating enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. Water features and bunkers provide definition and challenge on several holes. Bent Tree serves golfers in the northern Columbus suburbs and Delaware County area. The club operates as a public facility, making it accessible to residents and visitors seeking a round in a setting that balances challenge with the natural landscape of the region. The course fits within the tradition of Ohio golf layouts that prioritize conditioning and a welcoming atmosphere for regular play rather than tournament pedigree or national rankings.

Getting there

Bent Tree Golf Club sits just north of Columbus, Ohio, most readily accessed via Port Columbus International Airport (CMH), a straightforward forty-five-minute drive north through the rolling farmland and suburban transitions that characterize central Ohio. Private aviators will find convenient service at nearby Delaware County Regional Airport, a short fifteen-minute hop from the clubhouse, allowing for the kind of discreet, expedited arrival that befits the club's understated elegance. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads that wind through the gentle topography surrounding Sunbury, where manicured grounds and mature trees announce your arrival at a club that has long preferred substance and craftsmanship to ostentation.
