River Bend YMCA Golf Course

Visited from out of town and had a great time golfing with my family. Nice layout. Sand traps are in the process of being replaced, and the new ones are great! The new greens were nice, particularly considering is was late February when the grass at many of the courses around here go dormant.

Although course was wet due to previous incliment weather the course and greens vere in very good condition. The wet was the reason for the slowish play. However staff was extremely friendly and course is a fair test of golf and I will definitely play it again

I played this course numerous times when I worked in Shelby. The condition of the Fairways and greens were very good. The sand traps need work. Many challenging holes and if you par number 8 give yourself a gold star!

It had been raining for 3 days prior to the day I played. Greens were perfect! Great course for the money!

Always in great shape, greens were awesome and the course was in great shape, I'll play there more, thanks

Fast greens and a very nice layout are this course best parts. Food and clubhouse or not up to par

Our group enjoyed playing this course. The staff is very friendly and the course is in good shape. They are presently working on the sand traps and when finished should make for an enjoyable round of golf. We always enjoy the course and it seems to get better each time we play.

I had not played this course in several years until going out yesterday. Couldn't believe the improvement in the greens. The new greens were excellent. Evidently all the bunkers are in the process of being re filled as number 10 was the only hole that actually had sand in bunkers. N. 9 fairway was a little rough & very bare but considering the dry spring we've had, it's hard to blame the maintenance crew. They've also taken down a number of trees on the course. this makes the course feel much more open and playable. Overall a really good value. I'll be back soon at this price.

Course was in excellent shape, pace of play was slow but it was a holiday.

This was our first time playing River Bend Golf Club. Was very impressed with the condition of the greens. The bunkers were being reworked, so they were unplayable. Extremely friendly and welcoming atmosphere from the starter. Can't beat the value we got for the price. Definitely worth twice what we paid in green fees. Wonderful course that we will be back to in the future.

Played today- day after Xmas. Its been 1 1/2 years since I played this course and promised myself that I would never go back. Im so glad I went back!!! Staff was very concerned about there greens and you can tell they have really focused on making this a great course for the money. My handicap is 8.5 and play week across town at Deerbrook which is an awesome course. But this is the place i will be when deerbrook is booked with tournaments. The greens were great!!! You will not be disappointed!!

First time playing this course, it is a fun layout and is fairly open. Not to difficult and the new greens they put in are great. will definitely play this course again

I picked up a HOT-deal for an early tee time. The drive from Charlotte wasn't bad at all, around 45 minutes. I was really impressed by this course and will go back again! The greens were in really good shape and even my putts rolled true!

Me and my golfing buddy played yesterday and was highly impressed with the course. It is not a long course but very tight and challenging. The greens were phenomenal. Like putting on plush carpet. The only drawback we had was we were first off in the morning and on the last three holes we played they had forgot to put pins in the greens on the holes and we had no idea where to shoot at. When we got to clubhouse we told them about it and they were super friendly and apologized and told us to play some more which we did for free. We highly recommend for the money.

New greens are somewhat hard and will not hold a ball.

First time I have been able to play here since the new greens have been installed. They really did a great job with these and not pushing them to quickly to make them to short yet. Next spring or summer they can reall ymake this course much more difficult by just cutting them shorter. Course layout I have always liked and can be challanging for the average golfers but still forgiving. Will play here many more times.

Recently put in new greens and they are great. Received a great deal on Golf now and was very pleased with the condition of the course. This was the first time in several years playing here and it was a pleasant experience to play something away from the normal rotation of courses.

My friends and I visited this course on Sunday morning and we were first on the box. I would have to say out of all of the courses I have personally played in NC/SC(all public) this is the nicest course I have played. The only complaint(although it didn't bother me) would be that the bunkers on a few holes were being worked on. The greens were in pristine condition and the course was well kept.

New sod has been laid around most if not all of the green fringes. All of the greens are in good condition.

Great course with emphasis on strategy over length. Very good greens compared to other courses in the area. Very family friendly. YMCA course and home for local First Tee. Good rates and facilities.
