Riverbend Golf Complex
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.

Perfect day for a round
Started right on time despite seeing a 4 ball of high handicappers teeing off and no one hitting the fairway.
Pace of play wasn’t too bad. Finished in 4:57 which for a nice Sunday was fine.
The course was wet obvs but didn’t detract from the Round.
Tee boxes were in good condition and greens rolled well.
All in all a great round was had a d loved this course.

Riverbend Golf Course Revi
The course was in pretty good shape. The greens are not bad for having been aerated 2 weeks ago. A little bumpy, but definitely something to work with. The tee boxes are terrible. On most holes, the tees are rough, uneven and patchy. It is ridiculous because the tees are big enough for them to move the tees around, and work on the rough areas. There should always be a decent tee box for blacks, blues and whites. Some of the ladies tees are in front of norm tee boxes, so that should be addressed as well.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Riverbend Golf Complex.

Over priced
Early morning Thursday round.
Sand bunkers filled with water.
Greens have recently been punched and sanded.
50 bucks on golfnow.com for water filled sand bunkers, punched and sanded greens?
May be worth 35 bucks.. but certainly overpriced at 50.
Price included a cart. Big deal.
I do like the layout of the course and it is fairly challenging.
