Rating 71.4

The Riverbend Golf Complex sits along the Green River in Kent Valley, Wash. Owned and operated by the City of Kent, the complex offers a championship, 18-hole course and a mini-golf course. The 18-hole course is one of the busiest in the state with more than 65,000 rounds played on it annually. The golf course sprawls across a relatively flat landscape, making it easily walkable. Though it may not be hilly, that doesn't mean it's trouble free. There are more than 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and three lakes come into play as well. The layout is player friendly, with enough variety to appeal to players of all skill levels.

Zero Complaints

After playing golf for 40 years I finally made my first hole in one. So zero complaints about the course. 5 stars all round. That I was bending down to pick up my tee when it went on the hole and missed it while the other guys I played with saw it go in - priceless 🤦‍♂️.
