First time and last!
One of the worst course conditions I’ve ever played in my life. Weeds, weeds and more weeds. Course needs a full overhaul. And gallons of herbicides.
Needs work
Course was playable, but not in great shape. Tee boxes were a bit beat up and the greens were puttable but had some bare spots on them. The fairways were not good. lots of crab grass and bare ground. not bad for an occasional round but would not want to play here regularly.
Course
River Bend course is in decent shape ! I enjoyed playing the course and it was worth the price!
Love it here!
I’m a so, so golfer, sometimes I play pretty well and other times not so.
I love the course layout and it matches my competitiveness with some challenging holes. The course was in very good condition even with the lack of rain in New Bern.
You cannot find a friendlier group of people who work in the Pro Shop and groundskeepers.
I have yet to experience the grill area as my wife and I plan on doing so in the near future.
Great value, great people and a great course.
Very Playable and Enjoyable Course
My wife and I are in our mid seventies and we both favored playing this lovely course in the town of River Bend just outside of New Bern, NC. It’s mid spring and the course is in nice shape, no bare spots in the fairways, sand traps are in fully filled and dressed, greens are starting to come into season shape. Tee boxes need a little work but that is my only negative.
The course from the tips is about 6600 yds but the absolute best thing is they have a forward set of tees at about 4000 yds that my wife loves. The course really becomes playable and she plays 18 holes no problem.
So if you are a senior player you will be able to enjoy playing with your spouse where she will have a great time also. The rates are very reasonable, they have a newish fleet of Yamaha gas carts, but no yardage computers in the carts so bring your own. The course and cart paths are marked for blue, white, and red.
The pro shop folks are very friendly and we will definitely play here often while in town.
Grewt local course
Great condition. Green are in good shape as well. Staff is friendly
All in all ok.
Everything is great except the greens are sandy tea boxes need some seed. But Everything easy good
Great course to play
Love playing here. The course has a great layout and can be played many different ways depending on which tee box you choose. The course can even be played as long par 3’s if you play the most senior tee box’s and can hit it far. The driving range and practice green and perfect and even offer small mats to hit off of. The on site grill is making me fat so that’s saying something 🤣.. over all this is a great play to play practice and eat. If you are solo there’s always someone that will go with you or run it by yourself. Either way Riverbend golf club is worth it.
My favorite in the area
I play this course as often as I can and there are courses closer to me. The people here are so kind. The course is an older course but they work hard to keep it in good shape. It is also not so difficult that an errant shot messes with your chances of a decent score. A place that feels like home. The burger and fries are delicious!!
River Bend the Beautiful
The course is in impeccable condition for this time of year pace of play is awesome and the staff is always courteous!
Enjoyed the course.
Course was great. Greens can be better. Would play again when in town.
