I Recommend This Course
Best course around
I play here all the time and love it, worth the 55 minute drive. Anytime I go to another course I find myself asking why didn't I pay 20 dollars less and play a better course, and I end up back at Riverbend.

Riverbend
One of the best courses for your money at summer time !…. Got great fairway grass and the greens are immaculate all the time , i play this course regularly and shoot high 70s to low 80 s all the time and i drive the ball 240 to 250 so even a 200 yard drive will enjoy. The par 3 s are great two longer two shorter but all four are great so go play this course and if you need a partner look me up

NICE GREENS
River Bend is in the best shape overall in many years. The only improverments needed are some rough areas on cart paths and exposed large tree roots. The Greens are in perfect condition.

Never disappointed
I have been going to Riverbend for years and they have kept up on the conditions and always have great greens. The price is a special value compared to other not so nice courses. Kudos to them keeping me coming back.
