The fourth is a narrow driving hole that ends on this well-guarded green. Only 310 yards, this is the #5 index. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
7th, par-4, 331: A typical Tillinghast green is of moderate size–like this one. A moderately difficult hole, but a good one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
The eighth is a par-4 of average difficulty, but missed shots still lead to trouble. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
Ten, the #1 index, plays uphill over its 409 yards to a relatively small green. The large falloff behind this green can bring about short-game woes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
11th, par-4, 402: On this layout, Tillinghast’s holes retain their genuine parkland character, along with a classic aura not far afield from his famous courses. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
The sixteenth: Ron Cultip set this excellent par-5 in an open area, making this 498-yarder a tempting opportunity for big hitters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
2nd: Par-4, 393. First of three holes on the difficult “Cat’s Claw.” The green can’t be seen from the fairway’s landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
3rd, par-4: Another tricky Tillinghast hole. The Cape design features this marshy hazard curving all the way from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
5th, par-5. The driving zone is relatively open, but your second may cross the stream and must be precise. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
16, par-5, 498. Terrific hole that encourages you to slam a driver and another long club on the second. Hittable in two, for some. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
18, par-5, 570. On the second shot, the fairway’s safe side is the right, which better opens up the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
Another view of 18. As classic as the Tillinghast holes on the front side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021

Nice Course
I enjoy playing this course. Tee boxes, fairways and green in very good condition.
Will play here again.
Our Favorite Regional Course
Even though we played on a holiday, and every cart was out, we only had to wait less than 20 minutes to get on the course. There was a grill fired up on hole 10 when you come in, perfect for a protein fuel-up before heading back out. The upgraded carts made it easy to see all the other players around us and time our play. We look forward to becoming members in the future.
Bunkers need some sand
Some of the bunkers had almost no sand in them at all and you couldn't play out of them. Also a lot of dead spots around the greens when chipping. Tee boxes could use some love too. Little early in the season for that much wear.
Otherwise fairways and greens were in great shape.
Excellent course
Excellent course. Fairways were tight and the greens were in excellent condition. Will definitely play again.
Very good course and staff!
First time playing and it was a great time! Excellent price for the weekend and carts were new and super cool. Highly recommend this course!
Hidden Gem!
Hidden gem for sure.
History to it, and it’s a 1915 design by A.W. Tillinghast.
Very good shape, and the views are gorgeous.
Snag that $32.00 hot deal during the week.
If you’re playing in the morning, go to Ben’s Fresh up the street for lunch after your round. Get the burger, it’s a must!

lynx has improved 1000% over the last 4-5 years , new owners have made a suburb investment in the whole place - used to be once a year here, now planning multiple rounds price is worth the money
Excellent coarse
Greens were perfect, and always upgrading. Put GPS in all carts which is so helpful with your round
Great conditions for late April. Course gets better every year
Beautiful course
Fantastic course and greens will definitely golf here again
Awesome round of Golf for an even better Price!
I had a great experience overall at the “Lynx at River Bend.” The staff in the clubhouse as well as patrons were very pleasant, as I had no issue’s checking in for my 10:10 am tee time. Since it was my first time playing the course, the layout was a bit tough to navigate. One hole on the front 9 did not have a sign posted indicating the hole’s layout. (This did slow our pace, but we were still able to finish our round in under 4 hours). This was to be understood, since it was our first time playing the course. Still, I am very appreciative of the staff in the clubhouse. They made my experience a pleasant and memorable one. If I am able to secure another tee time in the near future, I will certainly be back with my Dad. Thanks again for your hospitality. It did not go unnoticed.
Great course
For a short course it’s one of the more tougher courses youll find. Small greens give it a nice defense. Great value and plenty of room off the tee.
The Lynx at Riverbend G.C.
Overall the course is in good shape. I have seen reviews about the tee boxes but the management are redoing all the 100 + year old tee boxes at the Lynx and they are growing in nicely. Fairways are great as well as the bunkers, greens are amazing and rolling true. I will definitely will be back to play this Tillinghast course
