Enjoyable round
Course was in good condition. Fairways and roughs were well maintained. Greens rolled true, held the ball well, were moderately fast. Sand traps are more like waste bunkers.
Greens
Definitely the very best greens in WNC.... fast,true and receptive...doesn’t get much better!!
Enjoyable round
Fairways in good condition. Greens rolled true, held the approach shot, and were moderately fast. Pace of play was very slow, perhaps due to the number of fivesomes allowed on the course! Challenging layout.
Too slow
Course is playing 5 and 6 players at a time and they are teeing off from every tee each player was hitting two balls for every hit I waited 30 minutes to tee off on one hole no Marshall was on course
Hidden Gem 45 Mins from Charlotte
Such a good value. Normally on Hot Deals for less than $30 on weekends and $12-$16 on weekdays. Friendly staff. Decent range and nice putting green. Great layout and very challenging on the par 4s on the back 9.
Great shape
Great shape, pace was slow we were a threesome and the foursome in front of would not let us play through! There was no one in front of them so we skipped ten and eleven And played them last! Other than that it was great always is!!!
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.
Play here
Fun layout . Nice variety of holes . One of the best courses for the money I’ve played in a long time . Will definitely play again . Worth the drive from Charlotte
Riverbend
Some of the best greens i’ve played on this year. Pure fairways and tee boxes. Overall great course for the money
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.
