Enjoyable course

Greens were holding nicely and were a little faster than last time we played. Fairways are in good shape. Pace of play was acceptable, with the last nine stacked up due to one foursome ahead of us.

Always a good experience

Riverbend is a good course with immaculate greens and nice plush fairways. Wish they would put a front/middle/back pin indicators but that’s really the only complaint. Excellent value for the money!

Great Option

I live nearby and play this course pretty often. But I played yesterday and am really impressed with the job they are doing. First off, check in was quick and easy, and we only payed $25 for an afternoon round. The course is in really good shape. The greens are firm, smooth, and some of the fastest around. I actually played a little worse than normal bc the greens were so much quicker than the other course I had been playing. I just didnt feel good standing over a putt. But man they were nice and smooth. The fairways and the tee boxes are also in really good shape. The spots where the irrigation doesnt reach the rough werent great and that keeps it from being a 5 star course, but its really good. The course layout is very fair, and interesting. No two holes are alike. There are a couple of forced carries, and 8 and 17 are two of the hardest holes around, especially considering they arent very long. But they force you to hit good golf shots. Overall, its a great place to play, and well worth a drive even if you dont live in the area.

Good value!

Greens were cut shorter than they have been and were sanded, making them a little faster than they have been. They were also holding the ball a little better then they have been. Fairway grass is looking better. Great course for the money.

Always good

Riverbend is always enjoyable to play. Greens are immaculate and fairways are better than most in the area. Prices are reasonable making it one of the best values as well. Will be playing there as often as possible.

Challenging course for the average golfer

Fairway grass needs some more warm weather. Greens are in good shape, but do not hold the ball well. Greens are medium speed.
