bent treeBent Tree
BentTree is subdivision of homes surrounding a private golf course with a clubhouse and a large lake. At the time it was developed, lot sizes were slightly larger and most homes feature nice sized yards. One welcome feature of BentTree is its mature and prolific green canopy.—- The course was intially designed by Bill Lewis and Ward Northrup handled the redesign of the greens in 1994. The club has an idyllic setting. Every effort has been made to retain the natural beauty of wooded areas, sparkling lakes and streams found on the property where birds and wildlife abound. This relatively unspoiled terrain serves as the back drop for golf in a northern setting
