This place is in great condition right now 🍺😎👍🏻
Well worth the drive….
Great Greens
Absolutely some of the best greens in the local area. Drove 45 minutes for this and absolutely wasn’t disappointed. Meticulously maintained greens.
Pro shop staff is an asset to this course
Course in Great shape. Pro shop is as friendly as anywhere I’ve ever been. Get some advice about where the lakes are. Some are in blind areas. Give it a chance ! We will be back no doubt !
First time at River Bend YMCA
Had been hearing great things about the conditioning of the course, especially for the value. While 55 minutes from Uptown, at $45 for a Sunday morning tee time, this place is incredibly hard to beat in terms of CLT public golf. The greens were incredibly pure (second group on the tee sheet for what that’s worth). Literally perfect putting surfaces. Played as a 3some behind a 2some and got around in 3 hours (2some probably played in 2.5 hrs). Will be playing here 1-2 times a month on the weekends. Cant recommend enough.
River Bend with Buddy
First time playing this course, so it was more challenging due to blind tee shots. Lost balls in rough that were not far off the fairway. Bunkers were difficult due to lack of soft sand. Greens didn’t hold as well as expected. Fairways were very good and so were the greens. Slope and speed of greens were made for a few 3 putts. It was a great day for golf and we will will return in the next month or so.
Great shape
We play here often.Course is in beautiful condition. Best I've ever seen it. Hats off to grounds keeper.
Enjoyable course
Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand traps were hard packed. Greens rolled true, held the approach shot, were medium to slow speed.
Excellent Course Conditions
Riverbend is in great condition for play with large greens that are rolling true. The groundskeeping team have made the most of the regular rains so things are much greener and softer than usual at this time of year. They have removed a lot of trees and cleared a lot of underbrush in the past few years making it more approachable for the mid to high handicaps. A good range finder will be helpful as on course markings are difficult to find on several holes.
This is a fun course, that isn't especially long. The rough will punish, however, and you can easily loose a ball in the first cut.
review
it always amazes me that when a course is packed there is NO RANGER of any kind to keep pace of play moving.
4 hrs 45 minutes to play a 6100 yard golf course is ridiculous.
its impeding growth as players like myself say
'screw this' im not spending a whole day to play golf.
just bad for the game
Amaizng course for the Price
Probably one of the best course to play around Charlotte. Worth the drive.
First impression
Great day at a very nice course with my daughter. Full 18 and it kept us busy but we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! It's off the beaten path but easy to get to. We will be back!
River Bend was great!
Great golf experience, nice staff, great in great condition, got some rain, that's golf! Had a great time!
