Bent Creek Country Club opened for play in 1993. Jay Morrish designed the course over what had been gently rolling farmland. "Since there was no wholesale moving of earth here the bulldozer was used sparingly and tastefully there is a great naturalness about the course and a flowing, graceful feel to the individual holes, which never look as though they were simply imposed upon the land."--GAP The course was well-received upon opening, so much so that it was awarded the Pennsylvania Open in 1994, just a year after it opened.
