Amazing greens!
Their greens are always amazing and the course is in great shape. They've done a lot of work to increase play in the offseason.
Great Course, Great Value
As a fan of the Chasing Scratch podcast, River Bend became a bucket list course to play; if only to experience first hand the course Mike and Eli hold their final major at each year.
The course did not disappoint. For the price, it’s a gem of a golf course, as everything was in great shape and the greens were immaculate.
It has a great layout that makes for an enjoyable but challenging round of golf. Other than a few holes, even the most novice golfers will find the course enjoyable and playable..
A few notes: you can rent clubs, but they’re not fancy. They don’t allow singles when it’s busy, so I had to purchase two spots. They allow walkers, but I don’t think I’d recommend it. The pro shop is very affordable and the concession stand has basic items for sale like hot dogs, pre made sandwiches, and candy bars.
The greens were amazing. The course layout is playable and can be as difficult or as easy as you want to make it on yourself
Good day at the River Bend
The course has very good greens, course is super shape from tee to green, staff friendly and very nice facilities.
BEST IN THE WEST
Nice old municipal course but with the best greens within 50 miles 🤸
Getting better and better
River Bend is a great local course. The layout is interesting enough. The greens are the best around. And the course is in really good shape for this early in the summer season. The price you pay for the quality you get is outstanding. You won’t find better greens anywhere. Book a round here. You won’t be disappointed
Driving range
I like this course. It's out in the middle of nowhere. It has a decent layout with excellent greens. The practice green is great, and one is allowed to chip there. The only fault I find is that the driving range limits shots to 200 yards. So. . . I didn't get to warm-up some important clubs. Those clubs were so cold they didn't know how to play golf that day.
Just awesome
I’m up visiting from Orlando fl. Just by great luck I booked us a tee time. I run a fabulous course in Orlando that’s why I went into the pro shop after our round and told all Coudoos to the superintendent. Wow. Yes. I’ll be back.
Very enjoyable golf course
We really like the layout and the condition of this golf course. Greens in great shape, some room around them to have a chip them close, if you can:). The fairways were maybe as good as we have seen them in the past but very much playable. We will go back even we have to drive over an hour to get there.
The greens!!
The greens are some of the best around they are large and fast. Fun course to play with some blind shots. Very well maintained too.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the greens and had fun playing our course.
Challenging course when played from the appropriate tees.
Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand in sand traps was minimal. Greens rolled true, were medium speed. did not hold the approach shot well.
