Discover the Golf Course Voted #1 in Acworth


Bentwater Golf Club is a private golf club in Acworth near Marietta and Kennesaw and home to one of Northwest Atlanta’s best golf courses with almost 7,000 yards from the back tees. The course, a parkland-style Mike Dasher design that opened to rave reviews in 2000, is known for its striking views of Red Top Mountain as well as the ponds, creeks and wetlands that are a highlight of each round at Bentwater.

To complement Bentwater’s golf experience, Bar 72 provides a casual dining atmosphere throughout the week, while the newly renovated Grille provides a more upscale Friday and Saturday night dinner venue and brunch on Sundays. For golfers and non-golfers alike, the club offers a full calendar of events such as Trivia Night, Ladies’ Night, Kid’s Krafts, Movie Night, Backyard BBQ, Couple’s Night, Wine Tastings, etc., and a multitude of seasonal and holiday events. The club also hosts private events such as weddings, parties, showers, meetings, and more!
