Enjoyable course

Fairways and roughs in good condition, sand traps need deep raking and more sand, greens rolled true, medium speed and some greens held the approach shot.

Always a Pleasure

On some courses you wonder what kind of day you will catch them on. Riverbend is not one of those courses. This course is always well maintained and the greens are the best in the area.

Worth the drive

This is a great golf course if you are in the Charlotte area. Well worth the drive for the price and quality. Greens are immaculate and roll. True. Staff was super friendly and let me off as a single before my tee time to get ahead of a big group.

Fantastic, well kept course.

This was my first time playing here. I am newer to golf, but was immediately and pleasantly surprised at the difference between this golf course and the others I have played. These are the best kept greens I've seen in the area and the fairways are noticeably better as well.

The staff is friendly in the clubhouse and was able to fit my brothers grip on his putter before our round. Will definitely be back.
