Well maintained course
Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand traps in reasonable condition, could use deep raking. Greens rolled true, were medium speed and held the approach shot reasonably well.

River Bend zreview
Considering they had just aerated a week ago, it played well. The fairway grass was great. If they had blown off the dead grass it would been perfect. The greens still played good considering the aeration. Staff was friendly. Discount price due to the aeration. No complaints. I’ll be back.
