Bent Tree Golf Club Earns More National Recognition

Bent Tree Golf Club in Council Bluffs continues an incredible summer of accolades, as Golf Magazine has named it one of America’s best golf courses to play for under $100.

The prestigious honor places Bent Tree among the top value courses nationwide, making it a standout destination for locals and traveling golfers. As the only course in Iowa and within 150 miles of Omaha to receive this accolade, Bent Tree solidifies its reputation as a premier golfing experience in the Midwest. Golf Magazine’s course raters and editors set out to compile a list of 18-hole golf courses in the United States that represent exceptional value for money. Their criteria were simple: to qualify, courses had to (1) be accessible to the public, (2) provide a golf experience you’d confidently recommend to a friend, and (3) offer peak-season weekend walking rates that do not exceed $100. Bent Tree met these standards, making it a standout choice for golfers seeking quality and affordability.

In June, Bent Tree Golf Club was recognized by GolfWeek as the 3rd best public course in Iowa. Golfweek’s ranking is an annually updated list that showcases the top public-access golf courses across the United States. These rankings are determined by a nationwide network of raters who evaluate courses based on ten specific criteria, rating each on a scale of 1 to 10. The overall ratings for each course are then averaged to produce the final rankings, making this accolade a significant achievement for the Bent Tree team. Being honored by two of the most respected publications in the golf industry underscores the club's commitment to excellence, quality, and value.
