About
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.

Aerification alert
The greens and most recently, the tees have been aerified so keep that in mind if that bothers you. We always play automatic 2-putt on aerified greens. Otherwise the course is in good shape although the day I played, the pace was slow- 4 hours 15 minutes. All in all, good value for the money.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Riverbend Golf Complex!

Excellent pace of play
Good course to play in terms of condition, layout, pace of play and amenities. The only complaint is in condition of the tees which need serious renovation.

Course maintenance
Riverbend was in great shape considering the long hot, dry summer we’ve had ! Greens were in excellent shape, nice and green and were running fast!! Fairways were in pretty good shape, a few brown, dry spots, but compared to other courses in the area, Riverbend has done a great job maintaining the whole course!

This course is a solid play
The cost to play here is pretty friendly all things considered. The fairways were in good shape but some of the greens had something left to be desired. It seems like nobody that plays here fixes their pitch marks on the greens. I easily fixed 30 marks myself during the day. However, despite the marked up greens, they rolled really well and fairly smooth. I’d play here again and I think if you’re in or around the area, it’s a decent stop for the cost of a round.

Been playing here for years and never saw so much ground under repair. I'm guessing that we'll see this every where in the future due to climate changes
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the amount of ground under repair during your recent visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to share your experience.
